Support the Microlab Gallery Micrograph Education Archive

This micrograph website is a carefully curated educational resource created and maintained by E.R. Crutcher, a microscopist with decades of experience in particle identification, materials analysis, and applied microscopy. The site was developed to serve students, educators, laboratories, and anyone seeking reliable, experience-based visual references for microscopic materials. Each micrograph represents not just an image, but years of accumulated knowledge—how particles form, how they behave under different illumination techniques, and how they can be correctly interpreted in real-world contexts. The collection is intended to remain freely accessible as an educational tool, supporting learning, training, and accurate analysis across disciplines. Maintaining this resource requires significant time, expertise, and ongoing technical costs, including imaging, documentation, hosting, and updates. Donations help keep the site active, accessible, and growing, and directly support the continued sharing of ER Crutcher’s knowledge with the broader scientific and educational community. If you find value in this resource, please consider donating. Your support helps preserve a unique educational archive and ensures it remains available for future learners and professionals.
