In the ‘this is way cool’ category from the FEI company:
"A new microscope developed by the TEAM Project (Transmission Electron Aberration-corrected Microscope), supported by the U.S. Department of Energy, has recorded the highest-resolution images ever seen (0.05 nanometer and below). This is equivalent to a quarter of the diameter of a carbon atom.
This microscope will be delivered to the Berkeley National Laboratory in 2008 and will be fully operational in 2010. To achieve this resolution, this microscope mixes two technologies, SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope) and TEM (Transmission Electron Microscope).
Such a microscope will allow to ‘study how atoms combine to form materials, how materials grow and how they respond to a variety of external factors.’

Will have to tell my hubby about this microscope, as he is interested in such things, and will want to read about it.
On your last blog…I do love the sound of music…I become a bit awed at talented musicians…that know how to play well..in whatever gendre. Especially since I am not at all musical. I appreciate showmanship too…but think that with some people…it is a cover up for lack of talent. My ears recognize good music…even if I can’t explain why.
Thanks for the Happy Anniversary wishes! I will have to come up with something for the next year…lol.

I’m on my way from here to there
And visiting your Space – oh, where?
Come visit mine, I’d like to share.
Perhaps you’re someone who will care.
You’ll be surprised, I do declare.
You’re more than welcome at my lair.
WoW that is something.. now if we could only turn a microscope onto ourselves and figure US out.. that would be a trick.
Sending hugs..thru the pixelated universe to friend Gandalf. Pamala
