I was minding my own business when the doorbell rang and there was this kindly old gentleman with a pushcart on the porch. He asked me if I needed any knives sharpened or umbrellas fixed, and I didn't but I did ask him if he could do electron micrographs.
Lo and behold, he whipped an EM out of his pushcart and said let me at it, so I did.
Here is the result. It is a PM of my SRAD camera speed emulsion, mentioned elsewhere. It is a variant that I'm developing for high speed fine grain applications.
As you see, it is about a 1 micron grain, rather monodisperse and consists of what I would describe as "rounded octahedra". It is just what I wanted to make and now I know exactly where I am and where I have been. I also know where to go next.
So thanks to this kindly guy for doing it for me. He got away before I could get him to do more, but hopefully he will be back someday.
My wife said that this looks like a convention of marshmallows.
