This is hilarious. Congratulations. What will you be
investigating with your electron microscope? Be sure
to also take some sort of microtome; otherwise you won't
be able to use the microscope. If I had been offered this,
I would probably have passed it (may be on to some
museum.) In my opinion, for a hobbyist, an electron
raster microscope is much more exciting, and smaller
too.
