Introducing the first open source SEM digital image capture solution, the Open Beam Interface! GitHub: Bring your analog SEM into the digital world, all over one USB type-C connection. Taking orders now for our first batch of 6 boards, DM for details.

@quantumbeans Sometimes said superglued parts are vacuum seals. One of those seals failed on a friend's TEM so he took it apart, scraped out all of the glue and re did it. For some reason the stage is about 1mm longer now so you can't get to the edge of the grid but def still a win.

@pupOnSecurity @ieatcrayons_3 Not yet lol

RT @beamshift: did a double take when I realized this was not vacuum grease but HAND CREAM?

Power strip from Amazon. Apparently the other 5 in the box have also melted/no longer work.

Look ma no chamber! Or column for that matter. Idk what happened but someone managed to get so much dust in this microscope that when @Fishguy_FHL went to blow it out a large cloud came out of the chamber 😳. Was so bad you couldn’t resolve an image at the lowest magnification.
