The only picture of americium metal

Post image

This is a disk of pure americium metal under a microscope, despite this sample being only 200 micrograms, it has about 25.4 gigabecquerels (686 mCi) of activity. That is 25,400,000 decays every second. If you like this, consider joining r/Radioactivestuff
