Titled "Tagliatella," this 25,000× magnification shows an attempt by engineers at Philips Research (Eindhoven, Netherlands) to make an inverse opal for photonic bandgap materials. The researchers began the process with ordered polystyrene spheres, according to Frans Holthuysen, an electron microscopist who submitted this SEM. They tried to fill the holes between the spheres with TiO2, which resulted in the imaged structure.
