Description
Color-enhanced Scanning Electron Micrograph (SEM) of nerve cells on a microchip. The cells are applied to the chips with a liquid nutrient medium, allowing them to adhere to the specially treated surface and begin forming dendrites. This method is used to check for the influence of silicon circuits on living nerve cells. Future applications could include blind patients with retinal degeneration who could use special opto-electronic circuits in order to recover limited vision. Magnification is 11101, or 740x at 10 cm wide.
