This was my second week in the lab, and I got to know a few more pieces of equipment! The first was the Scanning Electron Microscope, which was INSANELY AWESOME! We were able to put our samples on some SEM slides and view them up to 1 nanometer in length, which made them look completely different than they look to the naked eye. Unfortunately, I did not get an actual picture of our samples, but I did get a picture of Amit loading our samples into their trays!

Next, I spent the day with Tany’s NASA students and got to see the design kitchen where there are all the campus’ 3D printers and spare materials for projects.

Lastly, we all had a drink at Valhalla which is conveniently located under our building!
