photo manipulation

[Fabio Moretzsohn]

Paul

Some people color monochrome (grayscale) SEM or TEM photos in Photoshop (or
similar) to emphasize a certain structure of interest, or just because it
looks artistic. There are different ways to colorize a black and white
photo, and maybe there are specialized software for this purpose.

A researcher at the University of Hawaii, Tina Carvalho does some nice
artistic colorizations of SEM and TEM micrographs colorized in Photoshop:

My two cents.
