What are your favorite techniques

Also light optical is for losers :^)

SEM all day baby. Just look at these bitching coral aragonite crystals.

Now this is a rock thin section. This is with a the backscatter electron detector and the brighter the feature heavier it is.

Why can't they do it in color? Why is greyscale apparently easier to do than color, both for this and for early television?

If you're not working with metamaterials past the diffraction limit, you aren't a real scientist.

It uses electrons to bounce off the material. It's like visual binary, it can only determine depth. It's amazing we get such fine detail at all.
Fear not, there are many hobbyists who take them and colorize them using programs like photoshop. Some turn out to be quite good but it's almost entirely artistic. It's doubtful they actually have anything that might be called color anyway. Too small, color travels on light waves of a certain size.

Do your own homework buddy.

How hard is it to figure out what is a good and bad microscope?

You really can't find a website where that question is in the FAQ/header of the forum/sub-forum?

There has to be at least a dozen websites with forums dedicated JUST to microscopy. And even if there aren't there ARE going to be at least a dozen websites dedicated to histology (or any activity that uses microscopes) where they talk about which are the best microscopes.

Even if you don't find it the word of mouth way. You can literally just google "best microscope".

Be more resourceful.

youre talking about fucking microscopes, i assume you know your shit, if youre not gonna suggest anything, then remain quiet and ignore my post

SEM is hella great. My school has a Phenom desktop model that I get to use whenever.

It's got some image noise but it's not bad.

>>8116809

I have an OMAX, I don't remember the model off-hand but it goes up to like 2000X or 2500X. Was about 350$ IIRC. Has an integrated camera. I bought a darkfield condenser for it and I love it. It's pretty good for home use.
