U of M as in Maryland? I'm in Laurel. :-)
So far I've found endless fascination in chips and power transistors.
But, the most unbelievably fascinating thing that I've seen in that
scope was something I thought would be boring...a blown tungsten lamp
filament! I just did some quick scans of some of the
electromicrographs I've done lately. They can be seen at
http://www.neurotica.com/sem/images if you're interested. The blown
tungsten lamp filament pics are filament-1.jpg and filament-2.jpg.

That's SUPER Impressive. What do you take pictures

find one of those at U of M property depot, but the closest I've seen is a
fetal ultrasound machine :)

I got motivated and took a few pics of it just a few minutes ago.
They can be seen at http://www.neurotica.com/sem if you're interested.
SEMs are some of the coolest devices ever put together, in my opinion.
