Someone asked me yesterday how big my samples are, and what it all looks like. This is a zoomed-out view (only 90x!) showing a nearly edge-on view of one of my samples, sitting on a cratered sea of carbon tape. It’s so zoomed-out that I almost

This entire view would fit easily inside a single cell. The “lake” is a crater with glass at the bottom - being an insulator, glass tends to build up charge that deflects the electron beam my microscope fires at the sample, so very little bounces back… it appears dark. The “snow”

Multicolored marbled patterns! Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you an unsuccessful attempt to clean tape scum off a delicate semiconductor surface. The carbon tape I use in the scanning electron microscope, which looks so cool in the microscope and improves my image quality so much, leaves scum behind, as it

The lace ship. This is some sort of dust that landed on my sample before etching - I do try to clean dust off, but I don’t get everything removed. This particular sample had a few of these airy, lacy dust particles - I’m not sure what they are made

I posted a picture of the jagged broken edge of my sample the other day. Now here’s the same spot under the electron microscope. This view’s looking from the side, so you see all the detail of the dark edge where the silicon snapped. This far zoomed out,

Nom nom. Apparently, my nanostructures are tasty. This little guy is only about 1 micrometer high, less than 1/100 the thickness of a typical piece of paper. And the guy appears to have latched on to one of my little structures - ruining it, I might add. I guess semiconductor
