Processing is fucking timely. Depends how your EM unit is run but if you have to do it yourself it's a bitch. Especially if theres problems with your sample you end up spending days processing to have to start again. TEM itself is quite easy, once you get your eye in for the ultrastructure at such high mags

Different person, but would you know much about embedding cells? I'm not doing whole sections. I'm looking at the whole cell but want to image these things called "bacterial nanowires" that are 3-5 nm in diameter and 20-30 microns long. Osmium tetroxide is out of the question, and I know I need uranyl acetate.

As for what to physically do, to get them from the bottle to the formvar grid and ready for analysis...I don't know.

I'm working on a PhD in environmental engineering now, but I also did a lot of house paining and gutter cleaning with my father in summer some years ago. Real painting, not that "college painters" bullshit where the quality is horrible. You get $3000-4000 per house, and you can finish in 5-7 days. Cleaning gutters makes you up to $800 a day.

A university in the Midwest. I don't think we're terribly well known for physics and astronomy but the program we have is pretty good. And the non-major courses offered through the department are insanely popular - we've got 500 non-majors between five lectures this next semester, almost half of whom are signed up for labs (one of the reasons the department is so keen on updating and overhauling them). I doubt many of them are going to be switching majors or anything, but I like to think they leave the classes more informed and more interested in astronomy and science in general.

fuck the CCD. why risk a $100,000 camera when you can take film images?


still, gotta be careful with your solvents.

those little copper grate-slides they use in the goniometers have some kind of plastic in the grate areas.

I used THF to deposit some polymer on a slide and it ended up ruining a $10 slide when it dissolved all of that plastic.
