Description
Color enhanced scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of impellers of flow sensors made entirely by computer-aided lasers. The specifications of the impeller were entered into a computer and a reservoir of an acrylic liquid was then solidified by the light from the computer-controlled laser. The laser beam caused the liquid's molecules to polymerise and solidify as it passed through, building up the impeller in layers around 1 micrometer thick. This process allowed tiny components to be made cheaply and accurately. (SEM 31x)
