I am coining a new phrase; “work art.” It describes artwork made during the course of work not intended to create artwork. This image, taken last week on Digital Alloy’s scanning electron microscope, provided very important evidence to help us diagnose a problem that we have been trying to solve for some time. When I saw it for the first time, my initial response was that of a photographer, admiring it for the beauty of the image rather than a researcher looking at the answer to a long-standing mystery.
