Update 2023/08/13: Thanks to Tom Nardi's introduction on Hackaday, I kinda feel obligated to provide a bit more details about this project. So more information and some small updates are included now, and more will be updated in the future to make a polished project. I always had the plan to build a small handheld... Continue Reading →
My Ender 3 after assembled in 2018. The Ender 3 v1 was my very first 3d printer purchased right before the 2018 Xmas. For the last four years, it has served me well and taught me quite a few things about 3d modelling and mechanics. Although it's one of the most popular printers on the... Continue Reading →
Ever since Raspberry Pi announced Pi zero 2, I have been planning to build a new Gameboy handheld based on this new board with a performance boost. However, there is still no sign that this popular single board computer will get restocked in Australia. Therefore, I decided to thin down one of my Pi 3a... Continue Reading →
As the main workforce doing most dish washing at home, keeping the sponge holder clean and dry has been a tedious job. Every now and then, I have to pour out accumulated drips and reach into the small and awkward corners inside the sponge holder to clean up the gunk. To make this job easier,... Continue Reading →
Almost six years ago, I brought with me my camera and a total of 120G memory cards to the Mount Everest base camp trip. The scenery was so breath-taking that I decided to shoot all the photos in bracketing exposures, RAW format, and many panorama tiles in case I missed any great view. In the... Continue Reading →
After a few months' practice 3D modelling in SOLIDWORKS and successfully delivered a number of 3D printed birthday gifts, I guess I'm ready to take off and start something more sophisticated. I have always considered myself as a TEMist and been trying to help beginners to understand this fascinating technology. However, TEM (Transmission Electron Microscope)... Continue Reading →
Electron microscopes are very powerful tools for materials science and life science research. Scanning Electron Microscope or SEM is one of the variants that is useful for zooming in to study tiny features on the surface of a specimen. Unlike most of the conventional light microscopes, SEM images are generally monochrome without any colours. However,... Continue Reading →
It is really fascinating to read about the Conway's Game of Life that complex life evolution can be described in such a simple way: Any live cell with fewer than two live neighbours dies, as if by under population.Any live cell with two or three live neighbours lives on to the next generation.Any live cell...

Finally, here is my one tiny contribution to the Electron Microscopy community - a set of ImageJ/FIJI plugins for electron microscope image analysis. These plugins are now available for download directly from FIJI updater by selecting the EMtool update site. I have prepared a detailed walkthrough on how to install and how to use on...

Tuning a TEM aberration corrector under the wrong setup, yield a surprisingly funny phase plate. Perfect fit for the painting : )
