Colorful flames and smoke? This is actually Newton’s Rings again, a colorful microscopic pattern that appeared on my sample of laser material after some isopropyl alcohol dried funny. It must have left a thin film of something behind, and that produced rainbow patterns in the same way a thin

It’s too bad that whenever I get interesting images, it’s usually a sign that something’s gone wrong. In this case, the rainbow rings means that there’s some junk left on my sample - this is residue left behind from IPA (now, that’s isopropyl alcohol, not

Here’s carbon tape putting on a show again. This is the most commonplace part of scanning electron microscope imaging - and in my opinion, one of the most consistently cool-looking. We use carbon tape because it’s conductive, and stops electric charge from building up on the samples we’

Sometimes the most interesting part of electron microscopy is the carbon tape. It’s basically just conductive tape, and we use it to stick our samples to their little metal holders before we put them in the microscope. To the eye, it’s jet black and lightly textured. Under the

Hand + cold water = fun with thermal camera Here’s another picture from when I was “testing out the thermal camera”. I think I’ve well-established now that the thermal camera works, and that I’ve figured out how to capture video from it. Now I’m just… getting even more
