I do! But I find them pretty unexciting

For high mag work I prefer the FESEM. The SEM and FESEM are like cameras, where you can compose nice shots. TEM is like looking through one of the ghetto microscopes you used in grade 9 biology.

I think those are actually eyes that you see there. The smile is proof evolution has a sense of humor

So, what is this critter? Other than a really itty-bitty trilobite?

holy crap that's the coolest thing I've seen in years.

Please tell me you take requests?

literally I came on here to ask a question, saw this wicked cool thread, and have now completely forgotten what it was I came on here for. Geez. Science is cool.

Shouldn't the raptor have some feathers on it?
