[sudo-discuss] SEM microscope

[Jake]

We have been offered a scanning electron microscope.  I have accepted and 
marc and I will go get it if it's still available.

I don't know if it has a spectral detector for EDS, but I got one at
Urban Ore yesterday for $25, so we can add that functionality if it 
doesn't already have it.

this picture was taken with a SEM like the one we're getting:

here is what the machine probably looks like, based on a google search of 
Jeol JSM 6400

we can put it on the border / neutral zone between sudoroom and CCL like 
the CSAM and tesla coil.

So, yeah, I can potentially grab a Jeol JSM 6400. You should look at pics. It is fairly large.

Right now it is in Santa Barbara. I don't have a good plan for moving it, or putting it somewhere (hopefully where
people can use it). The company that bought it was told it works when they bought it, but they never tested it. I
should note that I am talking to a few people and I'm hoping one of them works out.

I would need to get it Jan 19-20.

Does this still interest you?
