A light microscope image of titanium-based alloy powder for 3D printing, which looks like silver and gold textured balls on a grey background. It was taken by Dr Olexandra Marenych, a beamline scientist at our University of Queensland facility, the Centre for Microscopy and Microanalysis. The average diameter of the particles is approximately 30 micrometres.
