My 250'000x scanning electron microscope!

A brand new table top scanning electron microscope.
With the resolution up to 5 nm it's a brilliant system for every-day "nano" inspection. Let's have some fun with it today!

A week ago I got recommended the guy that repaired an SEM from like 1970 the size of a small room and I think 100k max zoom and now I get this guy just casually having one the size of a mini fridge do 250kx. And now I want one.

Blowing my mind that a person can own this, and that THIS IS POSSIBLE ?!

This is the biggest nerd flex I have ever witnessed. If I could choose between a supercar and this, its this. Not even close.

Bro, how do you only have 900 subscribers? This stuff is absolutely fascinating!

My dream consumer definitions have been updated. Electron microscopes have always fascinated me, they have so many uses and open up a world of discoveries. I am happy to know that, increasingly, they have become compact and accessible to the general public and not only for labs. Greetings from Brazil 🇧🇷

i always thought electron microscopes were these huge things that only fit in a lab. this is realy amazing

[ozzemie]

This is magical! I'm glad YouTube recommended your channel :-).

I was in Winterthur, Switzerland, three weeks ago and visited the Technorama. On the 2nd or 3rd floor, I explored the biology "i think" department, which was truly fascinating. However, I was specifically there to see the electron microscope (SEM). I asked two young gentlemen if it was possible to turn it on, and they kindly did. The specimens we examined included a fly and a leaf, and we discussed how they gold-coat objects to make them easier to scan. The gold layer enhances visibility, which was really interesting to learn. It was a great experience overall.

Forget space, the little picture is 'the bigger picture'.
Amazing such equipment is accessible to the individual and in such a small package.

Great video! Looking forward to seeing what you do next...

Can you look at cells and intracellular organelles?

[teresashinkansen]

Probably costs about $1 per x of magnification. I have microscope envy. Velcro, wolfram filament from a lightbulb, beard hair, maybe a seed?, string and needle.

Really thank you for sharing this video. I was on the fence about buying but I went ahead and bought the SNE Alpha to scratch off my electron itch. Can't wait for this to arrive at my home

[edoardodeo]

1 looks like velcro, 2 light bulb wire?, 3 a hair, 4 pepper?, 5 needle and wire

[CrisURace]

JUST WOW!! Hope you get to on million fast!!! Here before 1000 subs!

[adt]

wow you have an sem at home, you're living my dream. love operating the one in my lab, and maybe i'll buy one for myself one day, such a cool instrument. subscribed and hyped to see what you will observe. try finding some microchip, can be an interesting observation

I'm so jealous i wish i could have one of these in my room to geek out looking at any household object i could find all day, hahah!
