When I was a student of art at the University of Michigan, I longed for the days when I had been a student of Biochemistry at Eastern Michigan, funny that, eh? Anyhow, I took a graduate level course in beginning electron microscopy for a lark and really enjoyed it. Using an artist's point of view to take shots of rat kidney... am I a wierd person or what? This thread just brought back some fond memories of a great class, the side benefit of which was that I learned to develop and print my own B & W shots. I want one of these toys too!! <S> Wishing I still had my final project photos to hang in the sitiing room... Diane in Flanders > .... environmental scanning electron microscope (ESEM). I will > have it running soon. Would your guys like pictures? Some guys get all the nice toys ;-) Peter -- Peter Moss "Well, let's just say, 'if your VCR is still blinking 12:00, you don't want Linux'". - Bruce Perens
