- The page separates Phoenix College student SEM work from externally sourced specimens, including NIST and USGS credits.
Field notes
The methods section frames microscopy as a choice of signal: electrons for surface form, fluorescence and confocal imaging for labeled structures, a probe for surface topography, and polarized light for birefringent materials. The page cites student SEM work on Sonoran ironwood bark, while also crediting external specimens—including a NIST image—and explicitly noting when an image is not Phoenix College data. Current equipment and access options are left to a direct inquiry.
