Here’s carbon tape putting on a show again. This is the most commonplace part of scanning electron microscope imaging - and in my opinion, one of the most consistently cool-looking. We use carbon tape because it’s conductive, and stops electric charge from building up on the samples we’

Sometimes the most interesting part of electron microscopy is the carbon tape. It’s basically just conductive tape, and we use it to stick our samples to their little metal holders before we put them in the microscope. To the eye, it’s jet black and lightly textured. Under the

Hand + cold water = fun with thermal camera Here’s another picture from when I was “testing out the thermal camera”. I think I’ve well-established now that the thermal camera works, and that I’ve figured out how to capture video from it. Now I’m just… getting even

Blowing on a hot cup of tea to cool it - works! This is a movie taken with a thermal camera, so the hottest areas show up brightest. When a hot piece of iron cools, it glows yellow, then orange, then red, then finally goes dark - at least to our eyes.

Still life of funnel with gold. One rule of the cleanroom: if it looks like gold, it probably is. We use a lot of gold in the cleanroom, as it turns out to have pretty useful optical and electrical properties. It’s just unfortunate coincidence that it’s also lovely
