So here I am at work, topping off the scanning electron microscope's (SEM) EDAX detector with liquid nitrogen:

ok, ok, so I wasn't wearing any gloves. But I did have my safety glasses on. I didn't spill any nitrogen on me... (And I forgot to take razor blades to work. Wink

)

Here are the other microscopes I use at work, an Olympus top-light, and a Nikon polarizing light microscope. I recently learned that the McCrone Research Institute in Chicago is offering an Environmental Microscopy class this year. I've asked my employer if I might be able to attend that class. We'll see. The lab's travel budget has been slashed.
I already have one of McCrone's certificates for Polarized Light Microscopy on my office wall, but another would be cool. I sure would like to see if that cute instructor is still at McCrone. She had wonderful eyes.

I also work in the particulcate matter (PM10 and TSP) lab. My first three years with the organization was performing HPLC analysis of aldehydes and ketones from air samples, (DNPH method) and some GC-MS work too.

No wonder you calculate your garden yields in "calories". You're a scientist!

Oh wow, I wish I could play with a scanning electron microscope for a week or two. Very cool!

Did y'all notice the Far Side cartoons on the wall? I now find myself in some of Gary Larson's microscopy cartoons:

Good day from Pheba, from the farm:
I have never figured out how to do the url photo thing. So, I did what I knew how to do. I went to Webshots and put up a bunch of photos of hubby and I on the farm.
I also put in a bunch of photos of my sewing machines.
I also do not know how to do the blue thingy, so I will just type in the address:
http://community.webshots.com/user/Phebagirl

Would somebody please go and see if they can access my photos. I would like to know if it worked.
Thanks,
Pheba.
