Mystery Object 1 Revealed

In the last post, the mystery object we had x-rayed was a toy camera. Well done it you guessed it correctly! Watch the video again and see if you can spot these things:

• The circuit board
• The batteries
• The screws that hold the casing together

 

 

If you have any ideas for other objects you would like to see scanned, please suggest it in a comment below.

Mystery Object 1

We have scanned an object using the x-ray machines. See if you can guess what it is.

 

X-ray of moth in fly trap

We now have a image made from our 3D scan of the moth in the fly trap that we scanned many weeks ago (see post What settings should be used on the x-ray machine?). False colours have been used to make the features stand out.

Faintly at the top of the image you can see the moth's wings sticking out of the trap

Below that you can see the edges of the trap where finger like strands have linked together

You can also see the moth's eyes!

And you can make out the veins in the leaf of the moth trap

Magical Growing Rabbit

For Easter my Aunt gave me a present of a 'magical growing rabbit'. You had to make the rabbit out of paper, put it in a dish and then pour a special solution into it. It looked like this.

In the morning it looked like this

The solution that I had poured in the dish had been absorbed by the paper. The chemical in the solution had then reacted with oxygen in the air so that it formed crystals - making the rabbit look very fluffy!
