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

Sometimes our samples get visitors. In most cases, they’re simply little flecks of dust that have settled to the surface of our chips.  Since most of the structures we’re making are so small, your average chunk of dust can be comparatively building-sized. They usually scare the willies out

It’s a serene sight - a nicely formed wall of laser material (semiconductor InGaAsP, to be exact) stands on a smooth glassy plain. I added the color - it’s not actually cold here.  It’s inhospitable in a different sense, though: There isn’t any air.  For the

Dramatic patterns of light and dark chase each other across the landscape.  Jagged monoliths reach for the sky, while canyons, mesas, and mountains range on toward the horizon. The mountains are made of solid laser material, and the plains are made of solid glass.  And it’s all microscopic, the
