What Marijuana Looks Like Under A Microscope

Rochester Institute of Technology professor and science photographer Ted Kinsman captures an unseen side of Cannabis in his new book, “Cannabis: Marijuana Under The Microscope”. These microscopic images capture a close up view of Marijuana. We spoke with Ted to find out more about his scanning electron microscope photos.

    How big is your magnification?
    Normal microscopes only have 1000x

    Marrijuana just got legalised in South Africa!!!!!!

    He selects the colors that are more visuallyintriguing those arent the real colors the images are in black and white so we never see a true color image

    A work of art

    all that detail but still the phytocannabinoids ( contained in the little purple dots on the tip) are even smaller than that microscope can reach and identify.

  13. Ashish on May 16, 2019 at 7:20 pm

  14. StevenGames on May 16, 2019 at 7:21 pm

  15. Black Orfice on May 16, 2019 at 7:22 pm

    Ah so there are shrooms growing on weed



  16. Malcolm Nicholson on May 16, 2019 at 7:24 pm

    So another misrepresention of the world we live in. Imagine if he did that with black and white photos…would we all be purple?



  17. DraegazYeet on May 16, 2019 at 7:24 pm

    Badum tsssw



  18. Mauriwood on May 16, 2019 at 7:27 pm

    Have they smoke the cannabis after having passed it through the electron microscope ? ๐Ÿค”



  19. Harshil Agarwal on May 16, 2019 at 7:28 pm

    At first I thought they were its original colours



  20. DraegazYeet on May 16, 2019 at 7:29 pm

    Ok guys gotta smoke weed for a moment



  21. Skyforce 213 on May 16, 2019 at 7:30 pm

  27. SuperXrunner on May 16, 2019 at 7:36 pm

    Looks like a Christmas and Easter wrapped up, altogether



  28. Anarcho-Swagism on May 16, 2019 at 7:36 pm

    I don’t get why you need an electro n microscope when the thing you’re seeing is not even smaller than the cells….



  29. Damian Michael Garza Jaurequi on May 16, 2019 at 7:37 pm

    โ€œBut Ted doesnโ€™t just photograph cannabisโ€

    He smokes it too.



  30. Flamethrow 007 on May 16, 2019 at 7:37 pm

    Why when you see everything on microscope it looks so gross



  31. Ava Playz on May 16, 2019 at 7:39 pm

    You can put that on pizza if you wanna be high by eating pizza.



  32. Mike Stevens on May 16, 2019 at 7:39 pm

    gold is very dense , alot of protons and neutrons in the middle of every atom , almost all of an incoming beam is blocked (98% or more ) , also gold is inert , nonreactive by nature , thus it’s tough , even pounded thin .also it’s very flexible , …it’s the gold standard , and it’s pretty to also .



  33. Chris Ho on May 16, 2019 at 7:41 pm

    I have one technical question, I know tech insider won’t reply. Here is my question, first he is coating with gold and he starts to shoot electron, are the electrons bouncing back to the microscope then calculate the distance of the electron ?



  34. Jeffrey Koelewijn on May 16, 2019 at 7:43 pm

    I’d rather see the real, actual colours of those things which were put under that scanning electron microscope

    Why not two gold sheets #GoldSheetsDontLooseGoldInTheStickOfTheSubject #DontZapLiveLiving



  37. Kiru Mj on May 16, 2019 at 7:45 pm

    HERB



  38. wearelegion on May 16, 2019 at 7:45 pm

    Wait. I didn’t know electron microscopy uses gold. No wonder the process is expensive…



  39. Jack Dolah on May 16, 2019 at 7:45 pm

    So it’s fake! Very disappointing



  40. moi moi 2 on May 16, 2019 at 7:49 pm

    Of course you want the stuff you’re smoking to want to look how you feel while on it. Lol



  47. Andy S S on May 16, 2019 at 7:56 pm

  48. Jack The Ripper on May 16, 2019 at 7:57 pm

    Magnificent!



  49. Eswar on May 16, 2019 at 7:58 pm

    Wait ? U said …every sample needs to be dried completely for experiment ..then how TF did he experiment lake water???

    If he decides himself what colors to make everything then it has zero value except as this guy’s personal vanity project.
