Yeah, I think Bill was more thinking of these images:
STM Image Gallery - The Corral Reef
(Ridiculously cool, too)
But, yes, I did mean Transmission Electron Microscopy
Perception is a wondrous thing.
(I see two Goth chicks, a bunch of pills, and heaps of trash-party time and space)
I didn't think Atom level imaging was possible with TEM . OK not seen a TEM since 1985 and that was a 3 story high steam powered monster. A bit of googling suggests that some mind boggling advances have been made in the last decade. Hoorah for science!
(aside: I had the joy once of having to use SEM-2. Dennis McMullan Scanning Microscope which was built in 1957 and still in use into the 90s. Used KT88s. I can safely say solid state SEMs are better than tube ones!)
Yes, it truly boggled the mind. The joke I remember being made was that the technician/engineer/graduate student in the control room (well isolated for these kinds of magnifications!) was trying her hardest not to get excited as the image was resolving in fear of coupling vibrations to the instrument.
I'm pretty sure the isolation was better than Simon's house. 😀
Yes, yay for science, and (hopefully) yay for women in STEM. Speaking of which, audio has to be worse than even EE for having women participate in it. I'm not talking about on the performance end of the spectrum, either.

Loads of Asian (foreign) female EE students overhere.

You are incorrect. Women have an important contribution to the audio technology advances, usually coming from the kitchen labs, while slicing onions. Onions are a known material for sharpening their SQ perception.
It's that season Gahan Wilson illustrated by S Clay Wilson brings new meaning to Grimm.

well mine insisted I fixed my apogees so my inifinities could go into the kitchen!
Oh and she has an engineering degree!

My wife just finished working with Jan Didden on setting up a new music streaming system for us, so....
Oh, no question about that. I found a gem, and on top of that, her knowledge of music is encyclopedic.
If you can believe it, she has less patience for the huckster nonsense that dominates fashion audio than I do.

YooHoo, I don't think so.
Actually, I know it isn't so, read the bottom part of 74146.
a result of DBT?
j/k
thanks for the link.

i've noticed that several researchers attempts,
to observe the mass levels, of various bits of 'matter',
are not able to get consistent readings.
seems that SEM's are contaminating materials at the atomic level.
adding to the actual energy/mass of samples ...
I spent 11 years with a former hi fi store owner. She could trust her ears and was a fundamental business partner with Vendetta Research, the Wilson Ultra Master, the JC-80, and many more projects. She loved Gordon Holt, and everybody else in audio. I miss her, and her golden ears. Also, she was for a time a reviewer for TAS, and was asked by Gordon Holt to be an audio reviewer for Stereophile as well.
I also miss my former business partner, Bob Crump, who made cables for a living and was the core consultant for IMPROVING my topologies to world class status. He was the inspiration behind the CTC (Curl, Thomson, Crump) Blowtorch preamp. It would not have been sonically extra special without his input.
