    Description

    Early work on DNA microarrays at Stanford university in the late 1990s lead to the launch of Zyomyx and the development of these chips. Engineered to capture specific molecules for a fast inexpensive analysis, they are a first of their kind. The raised pillars are 50 microns in diameter, fitting about a million antibody molecules in each chip feature.
    Many millions of dollars were spent in development of these and I only have a few of these very rare artifacts from biotech and MEMS history. Includes clamshell case shown.
    My photos are taken in standard white room lighting and are not color enhanced. Silicon iridescence is caused by diffraction of light on the microscopic patterns of the electronic circuits on the wafer. Of course some wafers are much more beautiful than others and I always try to offer the very best. Colors will change dramatically with the angle and intensity of lighting.
