The lady bug and the microchip

Summary : This is a children's story about Little Lil the ladybug and her journey across a silicon wafer and down into a semiconductor integrated circuit. It was created to help kids get a visual sense out of what micrometers and nanometers are compared to the things they encounter everyday. The story is a series of images that zooms down on a ladybug crawling on a silicon wafer. The images were donated by Jim Bowen and the story written by Jan and Dan Hutcheson.
