Color Plates

Color Plate A

No. 1. Donna J. Cox, Ida, a topological surface resulting from the Renaissance team of Donna Cox, George Francis and Ray Idaszak. Each color section indicates a separate 45° angle-range in the “ovalesque” used to create the surface. (© D. Cox, G. Francis and R. Idaszak) See From the Leonardo Archive article by Donna J. Cox in this issue.

No. 2. Jane Bearinger, image acquired optically with a Nikon D100 camera mounted on a reflectance-based Nikon Labophot 2 microscope. (© Jane P. Bearinger) Line width approx. 600 nm, feature height = 100 μm tall, feature depth = 10 nm. The pattern (modeled after the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory logo) appears only upon exposure to vapor, which hydrates the approximately 10-nm-thick polymer. Line patterning was performed before photoinitiated polymerization via photocatalytic nanolithography.

Color Plate B
