本研究開發了一個尺度縮放的程式,提供了類似Google Maps中動態檢視電子地圖的功能,可以在不同尺度的圖片任意位置,進行拖曳及縮放。將此尺度縮放程式應用在奈米科學教育,提供一個能夠有效模擬奈米現象的工具。使用者可以從模擬過程中,去看到現象的發生以及現象產生的原因,進而了解到此現象的相關知識。這對於奈米科技教育,在教學上或知識的推廣上是一大幫助。 在本研究中以兩個大自然中常見的奈米現象為例子,分別是蓮葉現象及彩蝶現象。模擬過程中所需要的圖片資料,以數位單眼相機、光學顯微鏡以及電子顯微拍攝。所拍攝的圖片經過前處理後,再提供尺度縮放模擬程式使用。由模擬程式可以看到連葉產生疏水現象的葉面結構、也可以看到蝴蝶翅膀產生顏色變化的表層結構,有助於對奈米現象的實際認知。
A simulation program was developed to provide the functions of zoom in and zoom out to view the photos in different scale which is similar to the Google Maps. The developed program was applied to the education of the nanotechnology to provide an effective tool for the simulation of the nanotechnology phenomena. The user can use the zooming program to view the phenomena and the cause of the phenomena and to understand the related knowledge of the phenomena. It is a great help to the education of the nanotechnology. The lotus leaf phenomenon and butterfly wing phenomenon are used as the demonstration of nanotechnology of the scale effect. The photos which are needed in the demonstrations are taken by a digital SLR camera, an optical microscopy and an electron microscopy. The taken photos are pretreatmented before they can be used by the zooming program. The hydrophobic surface of the lotus leaf and the surface structure of the butterfly wing can be seen clearly by the simulation program of zooming. It provides an effective tool to view the nano phenomena and have a experience of reality of nano phenomena.
