I LOVE SEM pics. My friend actually has a couple that he fixed up from auctions. They are older - but he got them at fraction of their original costs.

In fairness, if you put a human’s face under a fairly hard vacuum and then bombarded it with an electron beam it might also scream in horror and/or start peeling flesh away from bone around the eye sockets and mouth.
Probably best not to verify empirically, however, so I can’t say for sure.

All jest aside: thanks, Ken. Appreciated.
