Understanding aside, one must first know of things before one can know about them.

We have flown with Voyager past the volcanoes of lo and through the rings of Saturn and even seen the bizarre moon of Uranus, Miranda . . .such a privilege that it happened in our time. We have learned more in a few years than was ever known before of these things. But the greatest thing we have learned is how much there is yet to learn and how little we really understand of what we have seen.

STEREO WORLD MarchlApril1987 5 Using the scanning electron microscope is a voyage into the unknown, or at least it can be. I have known those who never looked beyond a narrow application related to their work. But it can open a fascinating new world that is all around us but which we cannot normally see. I have on a summer morning walked through the fields and woods collecting a few tiny oddities that looked promising among the flora and fauna. In the afternoon I tried to capture in stereo a photographic record of anything interesting which the SEM could show me with its high magnification and excellent depth of field.

STEREO WORLD MarchlApril1987 9 I mightc, make the observation that none of the usual problems of black and white photography are bypassed in using the SEM. Good photographs are produced by picky attention to detail, and the usual questions of composition, technique, and photographic impact in the final product are ever present in SEM photography. Added to that are the legion of problems peculiar to the SEM itself. The road to the good photograph is littered with attempts which didn't make it and correctable errors that have gone back for second and third tries.

It is my belief that When a spot on the specimen is review and enjoyment. This may scientific application is no excuse for reached by the probe it responds by emitting secondary electrons. These secondarv electrons are collected and eventually determine the brightness of a corresponding spot on a cathode ray tube (TV picture tube). As the probe sweeps rapidly over a region of the sample's surface, a picture is constructed on the TV screen based on the differences in response of the various surface features to the electron probe. The magnification obtainedis si~nplythe ratio of the area of the TV screen to the corresponding area scanned by the beam. The entire process is carried out under high vacuum. Some specimens need help in the way of special preparation. They may have difficulty withstanding the abuse of the vacuum or the electron beam.

10 STEREO WORLD MarchlApril1987 possible to get along without such heroics, we should do so. For stereos, when working with untreated specimens, fast work is called for to avoid the appearance of anomalies between the times the stereo halves are recorded. Since the electron beam is fixed within its scanning pattern, stereo halves are created by motion of the sample itself. For the most part, the views illustrated here were made by rotating the subject approximately 2% O between the two exposures. This usually results in comfortable viewing and can be applied at any magnification. A greater angle of rotation is only advisable for especially flat subjects. . .one of the most common errors made by microscopists unschooled in stereoscopy is gross overrotation, This tiny gnat-like fly, see11 at 50X, appears rnore alie11with its u1ra~1-aroli1ldeyes and tt~~tIr- perhaps 10 to 15 or more. . . real ery head than many less common insects. eyebusters when one tries to view them (the kind of thing that gives stereo a bad name among initiates).

Stereo cameras were meant to be used, not caressed! If you subscribe to that statement you might consider ways of upgrading your delectable 3-D dinosaur. But avoid this article if all you want to do is maintain your camera's original looks and functions. Being the proud owner of four different model stereo cameras, I often seek ways to modernize their functions, even when it means that I must downgrade the camera's value as a collector's item.

This also holds true for another viewer, shown in prototype form, that is designed for stereo enlargements up to 12 by 17 cm; it too is equipped with lenses that are rather small. In the area of stereo projection, there has been a marked shift over the past few years away from specialized slide mounts for two half frames in favor of the 5 by 5 single frame mounts that are customarv for two-dimensional slides. Austria's Bonum Company, based in Linz, showed its automatic stereo format mount with 23 by 23 mm cutouts (for the 24 by 36 mm format) and 23 by 28.5 mm cutouts (for the 24 by 30 mm half frame format).

by Ray Zone

3-D has long suffered the unfortunate stereotype of being a "gimmick" and a fad. This cultural stigma overlooks a basic fact: 3-D is an art form for two eyes. Just as one requires ears to appreciate the art of music, it is necessary to have two functioning eyes to enjoy the stereo art. The specific dynamic of 3-D art is parallax. As a stereo conversion artist, my job is to create a binocular stereogram from a monocular image, investing parallax into the provided artwork. My primary tools are graphic and photographic manipulations and it is an extremely challenging and rewarding endeavor that requires multidisciplinary knowledge of graphic production, printing technology and color theory for anaglyph applications. Unique forms of salesmanship are required build a market Opening page to Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde with original art by Wallace Wood and 3-D comer- stereo conversion and to sion by Ray Zone.

I have produced IP 4 3-D conversions for many clients ranging from Walt Disney Imagineering to Colorforms Toys. It -has been my great pleasure to work on the world's first 3-D mural, 3-D coloring books and to champion the anaglyph as a viable 3-D process for any graphic application large or small. 3-D comic books provided me with my first stereoscopic experience as a youngster and the production of new 3-D comics in the present day has occupied a great deal of my time.

38 STEREO WORLD March/April1987 Unlike the brief boom-bust cycle, of the early fifties when 3-D comics first appeared, the market for 3-D comics today is holding fast and slowly building. One reason for this is that the average comics reader today is more mature and the distribution of comics is done on a non-returnable direct basis so that independent publication is flourishing. The other reason 3-D comics are still around is that I and my colleagues have spared no effort to make each book as amazing as possible in maximizing the parallax, the number of levels and the special effects that the reader sees. The new 3-D comic books use retinal rivalry as a special effect in addition to parallax. Bicameral imaging, which utilizes different information in the two eyes, in concert with 3-D, is a new frontier for stereography. There are historical precedents, of course, with Wells' classic stereotest cards and the stereoscopic illusions of Joseph Jastrow created around the turn of The cover of The 3-D Zone No. 2, featuring bizarre science fiction stories written and il- lustrated by Basil Wolverton in the early 1950's. 3-0 conversion by Ray Zone.
