running out of blog ideas…..so I will temporarily indulge myself by listing the random things I know, can do or have done. While this list includes such silly things as:
1. Wiggle my ears
2. Stand on the actual tips of my toes
3. Paint nails better than the nail ladies at the salon
I’ll try and list slightly more interesting/odd things. This may be a 1-2 day only sort of deal….but I’m hoping it might be entertaining at the least.
So, in grad school I had to learn to use a Scanning Electron Microscope. Or SEM for short. Basically, it’s a really strong microscope. I think the order of magnitude is in the micron scale (maybe more….but I wasn’t very good) – the image scale bar goes from 10 – 100 um for my pictures.
You have to make sure the sample is electrically conductive, so you can sputter coat them beforehand if they aren’t.
I think it was a bug and some pollen. How interesting. And there’s your daily dose of science…sorta.
