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

Tue Nov 8 10:42:42 PST 2016

I should probably let everyone know that I have a working STM which
I've built sitting at home.  Verified scans of 100nm^2

If someone has a project for it, specifically imaging ( it lacks
control systems for manipulation ) please let me know.
