Stefan Diller
In 1984 Stefan Diller made his first contact with electron microscopy and scientific photography. Whenever possible he exchanged his existing microscopes for better ones.
His first glance through his own scanning electron microscope will be unforgettable for him because it opened up a door to an unknown universe of yet unseen aesthetic structures, in their view awesome to behold.
With the naked eye structures in the plant kingdom and the animal kingdom leave no real impression on us. But what universe lies in dimensions below 100 micrometers? With optical microscopes we are able to see structures down to some hundred nanometers, but without much field of depth. Scanning electron microscopy brings more than a thousand-fold field of depth, with some physical effects to enhance small parts of the specimen.
Stefan Diller works together with Andreas Greiner.
