ReplyDeleteNitrous, that is super interesting! Thanks for the link.
DeleteNo problems,
DeleteHope to see something down the road on one of your Youtube videos :)

Sorry Ben,
ReplyDeleteStrange thing trying to comment from an iPad!
The above link was to a topic I hope you'll consider for a blog topic.
Photo stimulable phosphors - a technique for visualizing x-Ray images that have been formed on phosphorus plates, to be "developed" using a HeNe laser scanner and PMT pickup. Reminds me a bit of your SEM project.
Anyway, great video on M.O. Effect. Thanks for sharing.
