This is a rendering of experimental data taken using 3D laser scanning confocal microscopy. The sample, synthesized by Dr. Midhun Joy (ChBE Ph.D. '16), is a colloidal crystal of 1 micron silica microspheres that have ordered into hexagonally close packed (HCP - green) and face centered cubic (FCC - red) domains as a result of vibration assisted convective assembly.  This work, in collaboration with Professor Mark Snyder, was featured on the cover of Soft Matter (DOI:10.1039/C5SM01076D).  Dr. Midhun Joy was co-advised by Professors Gilchrist and Snyder.

 

Instructions:  Use your smartphone(newer iPhones work best) camera to open the Augmented Reality (AR) Code by pointing the camera at the AR code and clicking on the yellow “Adobe Aero” tab (without downloading any apps.)  It is only necessary to give Adobe permission to access your phone (just like accessing a QR code.) Click on the blue “Continue” tab when it appears. To land the image find a flat open area and click the gray dots that appear on your phone covering the flat surface. Once you have anchored the image you can now walk around it viewing from all sides from your phone.
