A high-resolution zoomed view of one of my samples - all these weird natural-looking pillars means that there was some serious micromasking going on. Micromasking is what happens when I’m trying to etch away a material by bombarding it with high-energy plasma, and little particles of dust or oil

Unknown User: I am a huge fan of your blog. Never tire of seeing into the tiny dust of things. I would love to paint a huge mural of one of your images. Are you interested? See my work here: Kristofoletti.com

A nano-landscape, made of dark strips of laser-melted areas, interspersed with brighter less-damaged regions. I’m not sure what the mountain is made of - maybe even the melted remains of a dust speck. You’d have to stack a thousand of the mountains on top of each other to

Dust again! One of the amazingly varied forms that a single speck of dust can take - they turn from specks to angular mountains, billowing sails, or fluffy clouds. This one’s darker, smoother, and sharper than most… my guess would be that it’s maybe a microscopic shard of

Nanosilverfish? Someone asked me to post a picture of what one of my nanosamples should look like - one that doesn’t have nanofluff or nanozombies or other weird etching/dust problems. The reason I haven’t posted one before is that they look kinda boring - when everything goes

Nano Boba Fett? This is an artifact made of semiconductor laser material, that appeared during a process meant to etch all the laser material away. Probably it was formed by a speck of dust landing in that spot and protecting the material underneath from the etching plasma… the remnants of
