A YouTube video where you get to see metal being pushed about like kindergarten school plasticine play-dough
My first thought when I saw the title was about all the swarf inside the specimen chamber. Shudder. Learning that it was done via stop action was a relief!Watched that when it came up in my feed several days ago. Quite interesting. He has a lot more patience than I do as it is a sequence of still shots with the cutter hand advanced between frames. Does make me wonder how SFPM effects this at a microscopic level.
Perhaps a series on the effects of water soluble oil coolants?My first thought when I saw the title was about all the swarf inside the specimen chamber. Shudder. Learning that it was done via stop action was a relief!
Firstly - my apologies bringing something so late to the party. The video was only 3 days old, but folk here seem swift off the mark!Perhaps a series on the effects of water soluble oil coolants?
One of the electron microscope's great advantages is its depth of focus. Optical systems are more limited so high magnification images of scenes that include objects with considerable variation in depth can be difficult or impossible to achieve with them. There are optical "telemiscroscopes" but even so their depth of focus isn't comparable to electron microscopes.I was wondering if an electron microscope is even necessary for that magnification, I think an optical device would suffice?
Looks like another SEM image. The B/W image, plus the high resolution and good depth of focus, are typical for scanning electron microscopes.There is also this video:
That shows similar effects. I do not know how this was shot and I cannot find detail of SFPM for example.
