tomography


Electron microscopy and 3D tomography. Take 121 pictures with the EM, stack it up, make sure they are aligned well and then reconstruct the 3D image by using the pen like thing on the keyboard to draw on the plate like thing on the top right hand side of the picture. Still at the alignment stage which uses gold beads on the specimen to track the stacks. You need to track at least 10 clearly visible gold beads on all 121 pictures to align the picture together to form a 3D stack.
Because it's so repetitive, I need the attendance of my trusty pair of headphones and a RM5 disc full of MP3s.
