Yup. I was amazed...I scanned around that filament for many,
many hours. It was like exploring a jungle.
I used to be part of a Micro-Mineral club, and each newsletter
would contain pictures of minerals made with an electron
microscope. Some pretty amazing stuff.
Yeah. I'd love to do more of that with mine; I'm midway through
the construction of my new lab (converted 3-car garage) which will
hopefully allow me to (among other things) resurrect my SEM. At that
point I plan to make it available for cool people to send me samples
and such; I've already had a few requests. I've completely run out
of money so the lab construction has stalled, but I hope to resolve
that soon.

That's what happens when an incandescent light bulb blows out
due to loss of vacuum. Pretty amazing stuff, if you ask me.
Looks organic like some thing was realy growing.
