Tuning a TEM aberration corrector under the wrong setup, yield a surprisingly funny phase plate. Perfect fit for the painting : )
TEMscopist’s Scream
LEGO FEI Mini Nanoport
Now I have a legion of electron microscopes! The models are designed in LDD and rendered with Bluerender. The LDD files will be made free for download shortly. You can have your own Nanoport!
LEGO FEI TEM Talos F200X Ultimate Edition [Finalized]
The LEGO FEI TEM Talos F200X Ultimate Edition , featuring highly detailed TEM vacuum system, remote control desk, LED lit front panel, GATAN GIF camera, plus enclosure with opening doors and high tension tank. Of course, the prototype model will be numbered in the good old FEI-style: D0001 ! The design is finalized and the enclosure... Continue Reading →
The state-of-the-art LEGO FEI TEM Titan Cube
Firstly, I have to thank Piet for letting me publish his creation "Lego FEI TEM Titan Cube" on my blog. It's a great pleasure to present this masterpiece. Piet is an engineer working in FEI Eindhoven (now as a part of Thermofisher Scientific) and a huge fan of Lego. Way before I started making FEI products... Continue Reading →
A Preview of FEI Talos F200 TEM in LEGO
Inspired by the Lego sets for Materials Science and Engineering created by Chris Olson, I present this Lego set based on FEI Talos F200 TEM. TEM (Transmission Electron Microscope) is a powerful tool for materials researchers to characterize the atomic structure and chemical composition of different materials. Talos TEM from Thermofisher Scientific (formerly FEI Company) is... Continue Reading →
Starry Night
Very clear night, countless of stars, ideal for shooting star trail. But a vortex one this time !
Night shooting with a phone camera
My first time shooting photos with a phone camera in the pitch black! Surprisingly found the semi-auto mode in my huawei mate7 is not bad at all. The first trial was to capture the sunset on Dong'ao island. The weather was marvelous with almost no cloud. Sun has already sank and very dim orange glow... Continue Reading →
Read metadata from FEI TEM .emi file
FEI TIA software store one TEM image in a pair of files with extension .ser and .emi. The .ser file stores the image pixel information. The data structure of .ser is well documented and there are a number of scripts can be used to read the image info. However, .emi file is generally not readable... Continue Reading →
Project LeDuino [Still In Progress]
Digged out some photos of an unfinished project Lego+Arduino camera shutter controller from my old hard drive. Started about 4 years ago, aiming to improve the precision of the old lego highspeed photography project. Unfortunately, the parts are now disassembled and stored at different places in AU or CN. No idea how long to complete. Keep a reminder here... Continue Reading →
XTLab beta Published
读书时用过一个很方便的晶体学小工具Crycom，作者是哈工大的饶老师。没想到在哈工大能有幸见到真人，深受启发。遂改写此小软件，祝各位还在晶体学大坑中挣扎的同行早日出坑。 软件可以从sourceforge.net/projects/xtlab 下载，如有问题或建议，也请不吝赐教。 Made this crystallography tool inspired by Crycom. It's for basic crystallography calculations like plane spacing, angles and visualized in lattice plots. The combination of indexing, calculation and visualization helps beginners to build a better understanding on crystallography. Download from sourceforge.net/projects/xtlab.
