Who had to master this iteration of the "autogrid"? I miss how quickly I could move grids in and out of the column but that's about it. I also got lucky and never dropped one inside the scope.

In 1968, my dad's high school physics teacher helped their class build a crude electron microscope. In this photo you can see the increased resolution between the optical and electron image. I found this while sifting through his things and wanted to share.

Thanks for doing this important work! We just got our Hydra and HPF last week so it's especially relevant to us. We'll do a deep dive soon.

Me at Berkeley in 2014, milling on one of the first cryo-FIBs built, which was purchased from the Wadsworth Center in NY. The transfer system and stage were built by Humming Bird. We didn't use any platinum. I drove the lamellae back to Caltech and a few survived. It was wild times!

Our Hydra Bio is up and running at Penn State College of Medicine! We want to thank @thermofishersci.bsky.social for all their help. Installation went smoothly and we're grateful to be working with your applications team, learning how best to use it. It's a beautiful instrument.
