00:00:03,220 --> 00:00:05,580
In this case study, we're
going to quickly look

2
00:00:05,580 --> 00:00:08,240
at how an image
of your apparatus

3
00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:11,430
could become an interesting
photograph to submit

4
00:00:11,430 --> 00:00:15,240
for a cover or used as a figure.

5
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:18,120
Here, we're
suggesting a process.

6
00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:21,040
Now, because I couldn't
photograph the experiment

7
00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:24,930
as it was going on, because
it was a closed system,

8
00:00:24,930 --> 00:00:29,830
I made an initial image of the
apparatus used in the research.

9
00:00:29,830 --> 00:00:32,140
These wires are
heated to vaporize

10
00:00:32,140 --> 00:00:36,190
polymer material, which is
then deposited onto chips,

11
00:00:36,190 --> 00:00:37,940
as you see here.

12
00:00:37,940 --> 00:00:41,260
I first thought it would make
a nice image for a cover,

13
00:00:41,260 --> 00:00:44,010
leaving room for
the journal's logo.

14
00:00:44,010 --> 00:00:48,870
As it turned out, that image
was used for the MIT News page.

15
00:00:48,870 --> 00:00:52,450
I then decided to add another
piece of their apparatus

16
00:00:52,450 --> 00:00:54,410
to fill the whole image.

17
00:00:54,410 --> 00:00:58,070
In the end, we did submit
this one for the cover,

18
00:00:58,070 --> 00:00:59,550
but it didn't get it.

19
00:00:59,550 --> 00:01:03,350
What we did get was something
called the frontispiece

20
00:01:03,350 --> 00:01:04,690
in the journal.

21
00:01:04,690 --> 00:01:08,480
And surprisingly, they
preferred this inverted image,

22
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:12,740
which I made just for fun,
rather than the original.

23
00:01:12,740 --> 00:01:15,680
Frankly, I personally
preferred the first one,

24
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:19,650
but you just never
know people's taste.
