So jealous of your SEM... Do you have access to a TEM as well?

I do! But I find them pretty unexciting:razz: For high mag work I prefer the FESEM. The SEM and FESEM are like cameras, where you can compose nice shots. TEM is like looking through one of the ghetto microscopes you used in grade 9 biology.

Very Cool, with my work I have seen corrosion deposits/scales under SEM but nothing THIS COOL!!!:biggrin:

so awesome.
Is it just me or does it look like it has two eyes and a smile in pictures # 5 and 6

:)

I'm in love with your 'scope. If someone were to have special requests for scans, would you be able to do them? Like if I wanted a couple scans to print and put up in the fish room, etc?

Awesomesauce

That is so sweet! Thanks for sharing and keep 'em coming :D

Possibly, yes. If it's simple enough to slip in with my regular work I can do the odd one here and there. If you wanted to do something specialized and I needed to book the machine for a bit just to do that one sample, the machines cost $30 - 80 per hour (plus $30 set-up), depending on the machine (luckily most of the stuff you'd probably want to see would work fine on the cheap machine). Also depends on the sample as well. If it requires a lot of prep time, then we're talking about my time as well.

I'm happy to do them, just depends what it is :wink:

I think those are actually eyes that you see there. The smile is proof evolution has a sense of humor :razz:

So, what is this critter? Other than a really itty-bitty trilobite?
