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 trace of observation that functions as both scientific evidence and cultural memory at the boundary between art and science.
