[sudo-discuss] [CCL] Free Scanning Electron Microscope in Pleasanton! (was Fwd: [Microscopy] viaWWW:SMI3200 FIB system looking for a good home)

The vane pump gets down to 60-80 mtorr last I checked.

Used to go to 20, but I couldn't afford fomblin oil to put into it and
so we're limited by the hydrocarbon vapour pressure.
