Man Built Scanning Electron Microscope in Garage
Did you make something cool in your garage last weekend? Well, whatever it is, it’s not as cool as what Ben Krasnow made: the dude built his own electron scanning electron microscope in his garage!

On the Neatorama home page, the video seems to have been replaced by a G-mail advertisement. But the video appears on the post’s sub-page. (?)
Impressive.
Sample preparation will be another challenge all by itself….you canĀ“t just go and stick stuff in there you know.
I love it. I’d really like more info and progress reports as you improve the resolution and signal/noise. Many years ago I worked at ETEC. I’ve looked for years for an old Autoscan to play with. Now it looks like I’ll have to build something.
