SEM Withered Plant (BSE Series) — Kikoh Matsuura (Art–Science Archive)

Parent (series) record for *SEM Withered Plant (BSE)* by Kikoh Matsuura.  This record serves as the hub for all child datasets in the series.

**Files included:**- A series overview (TXT) documenting scope, naming rules, citation style, and file policy- A machine-readable index (CSV) that will be updated to list child datasets (DOIs, imaging parameters, etc.)- Withered Plant — Declaration (PDF) — issued once / no future revisions / no images- Withered Plant: Phase I (DOI 1–100) — Record (PDF) — fixed record / no future revisions

Each child dataset contains raw, uncompressed BMP images (≈10 per set, number varies) acquired with a personally owned TECHNEX TinySEM M3-i using the BSE detector under high-vacuum conditions.  Child records provide detailed READMEs with exact parameters (accelerating voltage, working distance, vacuum, pixel size, field of view, frame time, coating).

This parent provides a stable concept DOI for the entire *SEM Withered Plant (BSE)* series.  Child datasets link back via *IsPartOf*, and this parent enumerates them via *HasPart*.  

*This series visualizes the hidden order and chance in withered plants through SEM-BSE, leaving a unique trace at the boundary between art and science.*
