  • As an auction buyer, lobsterman Samuel Tucker examines sow hake in the nearly empty warehouse before the fish auction at Great Diamond Island, Maine. (From the book What I Eat: Around the World in 80 Diets.) The caloric value of his day's worth of food in March was 3,800 kcals. He is 50; 6 feet 1 and 1/2 inches and 179 pounds. Catches are increasingly sparse, and today's will require only a half hour to auction.

  • Application of virtual (artificial) reality computer systems in medical diagnostic imaging, showing a magnetic resonance image (MRI) of the head next to a scientist wearing a headset. Computer scientists here at the University of North Carolina aim to distill various types of diagnostic images, (X-rays, CT, MRI) into a vivid digital model, that is displayed through the head-mounted displays. Advantages of this type of presentation include not being bound by screen conventions, such as a lack of step back features, wider area views & the need to control a keyboard or mouse. Future uses may exist in the accurate targeting of radiotherapy. Stereo tactic radiotherapy technique. Model Released (1990)

  • Judges from Japan evaluating contestants at a Koi fish show in California. Koi are a variety of the common carp, Cyprinus carpio. Today Koi are bred in nearly every country and considered to be the most popular fresh-water ornamental pond fish. They are often referred to as being "living jewels" or "swimming flowers". If kept properly, koi can live about 30-40 years. Some have been reportedly known to live up to 200 years. The Koi hobbyists have bred over 100 color varieties. Every Koi is unique, and the patterns that are seen on a specific Koi can never be exactly repeated. The judging of Koi at exhibitions has become a refined art, which requires many years of understanding the relationship between color, pattern, size and shape, presentation, and a number of other key traits. Prize Koi can cost several thousand dollars  USA. MODEL RELEASED.

  • Guam airport. Jack Russel Terrier searching, sniffing for brown tree snakes in the freight section of the airport. They want to keep the snakes from spreading to other islands or the mainland USA. There are no birds on the Pacific Island of Guam thanks to the Brown Tree Snake. These hungry egg-eating snakes have overrun the tropical island after arriving on a lumber freighter from New Guinea during World War II. Besides wiping out the bird population, Brown Tree Snakes cause frequent power outages: they commit short circuit suicide when climbing between power lines.

  • Applications of virtual reality systems in medical education. Here, Scott Delp and Scott Fisher are using a system developed at NASA's Ames Research Centre in Menlo Park, California, to study the anatomy of the human leg. They both wear a headset equipped with 3-D video displays to view the computer-generated graphical images - one is shown between the two doctors. Physical exploration of the leg anatomy is afforded by using the data glove, a black rubber glove with woven optical fiber sensors, which relays data on their physical hand movements back to the computer.

  • Alien autopsy. Retired mortician, Glenn Dennis, with a replica of an alien body at the International UFO Museum and Research Center in Roswell, USA. The town has tourist attractions around the theme of UFO's. It was near Roswell on 2 July 1947 that many UFO sightings were reported during a thunderstorm. Strange wreckage was found in a field and when the impact site was located, a UFO craft and alien bodies were allegedly found and an autopsy conducted. On 8 July 1947, the Roswell Daily Record announced the capture of a flying saucer. Many Roswell inhabitants, however, believe aliens had arrived. Model Released (1997)

  • Star Wars research: neutral particle beam accelerator at Los Alamos National Laboratory. The accelerator was part of the Reagan White House project for a space-based accelerator that could produce a high-energy, uncharged particle beam that might examine, disarm, & even destroy distant objects (such as ballistic missiles), as part of America's Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI) - the "Star Wars" program. Neutral (uncharged) particle beams are necessary because the influence of the Earth's magnetic field on electrically charged particles would cause them to travel in spirals. Los Alamos, New Mexico.

  • Antipodean dinosaur hunting. Paleontologist Tom Rich holds the skull (in his right hand) and part of the tail of a fossil hypsolophodontid. This was a small dinosaur, about the size of a large chicken, living in the Cretaceous Period about 100 million years BP (before present). The specimen was found at Dinosaur Cove, southern Australia. Examination of the skull indicates that the creature had a large cerebral optic lobe, which suggests that it had some capacity for adapting to darkness. This becomes relevant when considering that it would have lived between 65 and 80 degrees south latitude, and would therefore have had to endure some length of permanent night in winter. Dinosaur Cove is the world's first mine developed specifically for paleontology ?normally the scientists rely on commercial mining to make the excavations. The site is of particular interest as the fossils found date from about 100 million years ago, when Australia was much closer to the South Pole than today. MODEL RELEASED [1989]

  • Dubious dinosaur footprint. Les Price, an opal mineworker examines the cast of a dinosaur footprint in the roof of an opal mine, which he excavated. Dinosaur footprints are preserved when the damp surface material (clay or sand) is baked for a long period by the sun, as at the beginning of a drought. When the overlying water eventually returns, it carries sediments which fill in the footprints, but which are of a different composition to the underlying rock. Here, the excavation of the mine has removed this lower layer (the original 'surface'), leaving the cast of the footprint visible, although it is debatable whether the miner's tools shaped the rock into the shape of a footprint.  Photographed at Lightning Ridge, southern Australia. MODEL RELEASED [1989].

  • Mestilde Shigwedha, a diamond polisher, examines a gem as she prepares to polish it at NamCot Diamonds in Windhoek, Namibia. (Mestilde Shigwedha was featured in the book What I Eat: Around the World in 80 Diets.) Diamonds are one of Namibia's major exports, and  while conflict diamonds grab the headlines, the fact is that the industry does provide a fairly decent living for many. "Mesti," as she is called, grew up in the north of Namibia near the Angola border in a mud and stick house that she helped cement with dung. She now rents a room in a house in Windhoek and supports family members and herself on her small income from Namcot.  MODEL RELEASED.

  • Genetically engineered tomato plants. Geneticist Dr Virginia Ursin examines cultures of Flavr Savr tomato plants; the first genetically engineered whole food. Each dish contains seedlings cultured from a single cell, grown on agarose medium. Flavr Savr tomatoes have a gene that allows the fruit to ripen on the vine without softening; so they are tastier, don't need ripening with ethylene gas, and are not damaged during shipping. Tomato softening occurs due to the enzyme polygalacturonase. Flavr Savr tomatoes contain an anti-sense gene that blocks the enzyme. This tomato entered American supermarkets in 1994 but was withdrawn from the marketplace by Monsanto (which bought Calgene in 1997). Research at Calgene, California, USA. MODEL RELEASED [1995]
