I thought I would mention this for people who have not found the nano scale panoramas taken with a SEM ( scanning electron microscope ). They did not use Autopano software to stitch the panoramas, but it is similar to macro photography panoramas that it is on a small scale. A gigapan was adapted to turn the knobs on a SEM.
Yes, very impressive. And I guess they have one advantage, you can take as mush time as you need with when you use a flash instead of relying on the sun.
