Wollastonite is a naturally occuring mineral -- calcium metasilicate, or CaSiO3. 950X @ 8"x10" size Color synthesized with Scharf Multi-Detector Color SEM (Pat. #5,212,383) Wollastonite's acicular (needle-like) in shape, wollastonite enhances strength and increases durability in a range of construction materials including concrete, stucco, EIFS systems, patching compounds and adhesives. It also provides added dimensional stability, sag resistance and resistance to cracking from drying and freeze thaw effects. As an addiotive for smoother, stronger ceramics. Reinforcement for plastic composites. Enhanced durability for paints, coatings, and adhesives. As a friction replacement for asbestose in clutches and brakes. Also have many uses in metalurgy in the steel industry. --- Image by © David Scharf/Corbis

Human Cortical Neurons (Brain Cells)--showing an extensive network of interconnecting dendrites. Cortical Neurons make up the brain's cortex (grey matter).The cerebral cortex is a sheet of neural tissue that is outermost to the cerebrum of the mammalian brain. It covers the cerebrum and cerebellum, and is divided into left and right hemispheres. The cerebral cortex plays a key role in memory, attention, perceptual awareness, thought, language, and consciousness. 575X @ 8"x10" size Color synthesized with Scharf Multi-Detector Color SEM (Pat. #5,212,383) --- Image by © David Scharf/Corbis
