An anthropomorphic silver fox named rin sitting down and gazing at the camera. She'd wearing a black coat with a shirt that combines decorative armor pieces into it.
The tip of an M5 screw tap at approximately 1.8x magnification. Specks of leftover aluminum can be seen on the tip from my last project.
A close up image of the head of an anodized hex head screw on a dark background. The image was focus stacked so the entire screw head is in focus.
A picture of an opal with out of focus splotches
A small section of western hemlock from a tree core sample taken at 10x magnification. It is composed of 6 images that were then focus stacked.
A cross section of a tree core sample. There's visible seams randomly spread throughout it where the stitching isn't the best. In the bottom left corner there's a red box that contains the 2nd image.
Over 100 image thumbnails of pictures of a tree's cross section waiting to be stitched.
A picture of part of a basswood stem ~2.5mm in diameter. The sample has been dyed a bluish color to enhance the contrast between cells.
A white belt can be seen, ontop of it is a plastic arm connected to a servo motor which is in turn attached to the side of a plastic slide. Parts can come down the conveyor belt to be pushed by the plastic arm down the slide into a container below.
An Ender 3. Or is it? It now uses linear rails instead of wheels, even the leadscrews have been ripped out and replaced with finer ones. The control board, once good enough was deemed insufficient and was replaced with a better one. The screen was replaced, and even the metal screen mount is no longer present. The print head is no more, having been deemed irrelevant in the pursuit of advancing science. Instead in its place is a 3D printed mount with a camera in it. From it extends a long 3D printed tube with a ring light attached to the end. beneath it is a 10x metallurgic microscope lens peering down at a tree core sample. In the back of the printer the power supply can be seen. unbeknown to it, it too will be replaced. Metal braces ensure that no movement, other than that which is permitted shall occur as the camera's watchful lens observes the wood.

A test microscope objective lens setup. In it is a 10x Amscope Metallurgic microscope objective with a Raynox 150 lens. This is attached to a very short extension tube mounted on an Amscope MU500 camera. The camera is sitting in a 3D printed enclosure.

A close up shot of a silicon wafer. It's tinted blue and black with colorful rectangles sprinkled throughout.
A silicon wafer with a pleasant iridescent sheen being held like you just ordered a crepe at the fair. Except this isn't the fair. It's a house.

The user interface of FORGE. On the left side consisting of 75% of the screen is an in focus picture of a tree core sample as part of the live video feed of Forge. On the right side is a list of collapsible menus. Starting from the top is the titlebar which says "FORGE" below that is a menu section titled "Control" it contains a variety of buttons for moving and homing the 3D printer that Forge is based upon. In addition there is text for the step size and current X, Y, and Z position. The next section is titled "Automation" and has 3 buttons labelled "Start", "Stop", and "Pause". The next section is labelled "Camera Control" and contains buttons for taking photos, auto focusing, toggling the machine vision on and off, along with setting a filter to filter out hot pixels. The next section is "Sample Management" in this there are buttons labelled "Go to Sample" along with a plus and minus button that select samples 1 through 20. Below that is a scrolling section that contains the list of 20 samples with check boxes to mark which ones to scan, and names for each individual sample.
A picture of an M2 Heat set insert tip that goes on a soldering iron on a black background. I would say it's high res, but bluesky compresses the image too much making it low res
The end of a tree core sample with overlaid cyan and amber squares denoting where the sample is.
The GUI of FORGE. It has a camera settings menu shown in addition to the right side bar and camera view. The camera view is the same yellow green color of mountain dew.

A meme in the format of Jim smiling through office window blinds. Above it is the text, "Localization Waiting To Be Implemented"
An image showing the 2D output of a lidar sensor. It's in the form of thousands of dots forming an outline of the room, in addition, there is a white dashed line coming from the lidar sensor's position in the room to the outer edge of the room. At the end of the line there are 3 numbers, the degrees in polar coordinated from the "front" of the sensor the dashed line is, the distance in millimeters, and the number of bad scans. These numbers are 15.0 degrees, 7083 mm, and 85 bad scans.
A meme using the bilbo meme template. 1st panel, bilbo is looking down at a ring with the caption "After all. . . Why Not?" 2nd panel, bilbo is facing more forward eyes still looking down and frowning, captioned, "Why shouldn't I start another project?"
An Ender 3 print bed with 3D printed sample trays clipped on to keep the tree core samples in alignment
A conveyor belt that is approximately 3ft long made of Lego, 3D printed parts, 2 metal shafts, and some ball bearings. It sits on a carpeted floor. The belt of the conveyor is made of white plastic, and is supported by a red frame with black 3D printed parts on it. There is a central beam that runs the entire length of it inside the belt that is grey.
