I'm in the process of updating the website, so forgive me if the blog comments don't work perfectly, but the exciting news is the new Mezoscope is installed at TechCyte Inc. in Salt Lake City, Utah. Techcyte is part of the highly successful ThinkAtomic technology incubator in the 'New Silicon Valley' of SLC. We've had a great experience designing and installing the new scope, and meeting some of TechCyte's challenging requirements has resulted in new innovative designs, software, and controller modifications. 
We can now achieve not only 4x, 10x, 20x, 40x, but also with the new 5-head turret and precision positioning we are achieving 100x (in oil and air, no kidding) of blood smear samples. Here is one sample (size reduced for web). Clicking on the image below will expand to very large size and take some time to load as it is ~4Mb jpg compressed. This tiled mosaic image was acquired in under 2 min and the original image is approximately 10000x8000 pixels.
Email me for more info on the new Mezoscope.

We are working with Shapeways and also Jeweldistrict.com to produce gorgeous pendants and other items. Available in gold-plated bronze, polished silver, and now, solid gold. Custom designs are now available. Email tcd@tensortek.com for more information, custom designs, and ordering.

The AutoMicro3D fully motorized and automated scanning/imaging system provides large scale imaging with high resolution (up to 5 um)  not only for standard slides but also 'thick' specimens and samples. Visit tensortek.com for more info.

I recently visited the Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) in Cleveland. It was really incredible to see the building and the art exhibits. Very inspiring. I met with some very kind staff there and showed them some of the 'meshagons', considering a potential exhibit. We got to talking and it was quite an exciting discussion. Then, it occurred to me... "how about meshing the building itself"? 
It is a prismatic shape so it should be do-able. I downloaded the structure/dimensions from Google (i.e. Sketchup) and after about 2 weeks of work , here are some pics of the building and the new mesh.  I'm hoping that this would be a great addition to their collection. It would be nice in the lobby, etc.
See below...

Pictures of the MOCA building. It is quite an amazing/interesting structure...

Renderings of manifold (printable) FE mesh of the MOCA structure. I have been learning 'cycles' in Blender3D and it looks great! This is what I envision what the mesh would look like viewed in a room/lobby/space. The mesh is confirmed printable in Shapeways and possibly Gigabot at even one meter  height. It could be a quite a stunning art/math/sculpture for MOCA. Click on the images for larger views.

Here is a 3-D rotatable model of the MOCA building mesh in SketchFab. Note that i've rendered this in 'gray' because the black polymer (Which I actually prefer and is shown the renders above) does not look good in SketchFab. NOTE2 these takesa while to load because the mesh is quite large. If you are on a mac/apple use firefox to view. Safari doesn't appear to work.

Below is a wire-frame rendering of the MOCA mesh that shows the very high quality polygon (triangular) surface ready for printing. It's actually quite aesthetically interesting to put this in full-screen and zoom in to the middle... quite 'whoa' IMHO.  

Hi All, Just a note that I'm moving the blog to Wordpress due to unfixable Weebly bugs. For now comments are disabled on this page. BUT, you can go to the identical Weebly blog at tcdoeh.weebly.com/blog.html and leave comments there for now. Thanks.

New images from the 'mezoscope' are looking pretty good. I think that in addition to the scientific value there is also some quite interesting artistic value to the images.

What you are seeing (left) is an elliptically polarized light image of a breast biopsy/retrieval specimen. The patterns are collagen fibers, which 'self-illuminate' under polarized light. 

The original image is about 30000x20000 pixels so it's practically 'poster size'. 

I've updated the 'old' tensortek mezoscope site with some new images and a 'Zoomify' section where you can view some of the gigapixel images interactively.
