  • Faith D'Aluisio and Peter Menzel, award-winning authors of the book What I Eat: Around the World in 80 Diets, at the Jameh Mosque in the city of Yazd, Iran. (From the book What I Eat: Around the World in 80 Diets.) MODEL RELEASED.

  • Virtual reality: Ralph Hollis, IBM, NY "Feeling" Gold Atoms working with a scanning tunneling microscope (STM) (at right) linked to a tele-robotic manipulation system with atomic scale force-feedback. The minute movements of the STM's probe as its traverses the gold sample surface is linked to a force-feedback magic wrist, enabling the scientist, whose hand is in contact with the magic wrist, to feel the texture of the gold atoms. In background is a false-color STM image of the gold surface, revealing the cobbled pattern of individual atoms. The photo was taken at IBM's Thomas Watson Research Centre, Yorktown Heights, New York. (1990)

  • Los Alamos National Lab, New Mexico. Research in the flow cytometry lab - sorting chromosomes for DNA Library. The counting of cells is called cytometry. Flow cytometry characterizes single cells as they pass at high speed through a laser beam. Speeds of up to 50,000 cells a second can be measured. The scattering of the laser beam provides a way to identify the cells. Many other characteristics, such as shape and surface texture can also be measured. The cells are then sorted as electrically charged droplets. This also purifies the samples. (1989).Human Genome Project.

  • Virtual reality: Margaret Minsky works with a force-feedback joystick being developed in the MIT Media Laboratory. The joystick is designed to give its user a physical impression of features in a computer-generated environment. In this demonstration, the user is invited to feel shapes & textures whilst running a cursor over the various images displayed on the screen, and be able to differentiate between them. Model Released (1990)
