You and I both Sellam - this is like looking at stuff when we were in grade
school - like the fly that looked like a monster. Is this machine one the
large heavy ones I've seen in older books or have they brought the
electromicrograph machines to a reasonable size? I'd hate to even ask what
one surplus would set a person back.
Maybe Dave can get a photo of his stuff in place and put it in the image
library as well for use to take a look at.

tungsten lamp filament! I just did some quick scans of some of the
electromicrographs I've done lately. They can be seen at

tungsten lamp filament pics are filament-1.jpg and filament-2.jpg.
Amazing! It looks like the leaves of a plant of some sort.
Ok, now I want one of these very badly. Too bad I didn't pick up the one
that was offered to me a couple years ago :)
