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

[Eric Wittke]

I for one would be super interested in this, especially for our plant
cuticle/epidermis and chloroplast manipulations, and general curiosities of
course. Pollen photography is also a thing.

$15k is bonkers but seems like the going rate. Wish there was a way you
could just rent time to use one.

I also hear EMs are getting smaller and more affordable in general... Let's
hope. If that's true then may be smart to wait it out.
