Miniature ball bearing, SEM C016 / 8061
Miniature ball bearing. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a miniature ball bearing, showing the balls (spheres) inside. A bearing allows motion between two or more parts. A ball bearing is a type of rolling-element bearing that uses balls to maintain the separation between the bearing races (outer and inner rings). Magnification: x17, when printed 10 centimetres high
