@photonphiend wait what is it then?

@nanofarad10 @bebeal big bois

Yes, that microscope is made of circuit boards. Our DIY atomic force microscope uses PCBs as the frame, piezo buzzers as the scanner and a DVD pickup to read the probe. In Measurement Science and Technology:

@amphichrome_ need these so bad

[Isabel @beamshift]

@SolMaxi010 @nightpuper that it is!

[Isabel @beamshift]

TGIF (thank god it’s field emission)

[Isabel @beamshift]

@mjufrv nah the cutouts are too deep to go in at a angle

[Isabel @beamshift]

even JEOL makes cutouts around column bolts so shallow as to require Extra Short Screwdriver

[Isabel @beamshift]

more specialty tools that ship with electron microscopes: Extra Short Screwdriver and Extra Long Screwdriver

@bebeal niceeee this is a good Lego set

[Isabel @beamshift]

@NietzscheanHobo It’s a zip tie

[Isabel @beamshift]

@nonpareilspsalm The alignment is already thrown off from taking the gun off, relocating the microscope, and putting the gun back on, so it has to be tuned again anyway

@SinghJyotirmai Thanks!

[Isabel @beamshift]

@photonphiend thank you !!

@hedin__ damn that’s crazy

[Isabel @beamshift]

I love these things, these are just a few of my collection

Before "there's an app for that", we used these slide chart calculators...

@macona @MoleculesGoHard Also I do research using ultrafast pump-probe electron microscopy, where multiple laser beams are coupled into the microscope, so the microscopes I’m around tend to have extra holes in them

[Isabel @beamshift]

@macona @MoleculesGoHard The first time I showed them it was randomly viral so now I think it’s funny to take pictures of them whenever I see them in labs. Most Thermo microscopes seem to come with them these days.
