U of M as in Maryland? I'm in Laurel. :-)
So far I've found endless fascination in chips and power transistors.
But, the most unbelievably fascinating thing that I've seen in that
scope was something I thought would be boring...a blown tungsten lamp
filament! I just did some quick scans of some of the

http://www.neurotica.com/sem/images if you're interested. The blown
tungsten lamp filament pics are filament-1.jpg and filament-2.jpg.
