We are also equipped with quite a few high resolution microscopes that let us image these materials on the atomic scale. As lab manager, I am in charge of keeping the microscopes running and repairing them when they go down (which is quite often!).
Very interesting! Thanks for sharing. Yes, my shop is stress relief for me too.

Enjoy the build!
