Because maybe someone's supposed to donate a more modern electron microscope to him (and he can donate his old one to me -- I'd use it to identify patients' pneumonia-causing bacteria without needing the slow lab-cultures). :D :/

The depth of knowledge Ben has is always pretty crazy. Animation turned out really nicely. 👌👌

Amazing video Ben. It's nice to see my old SEM still being used, I definitely gave it to the right person!

This could also advance the science of how to make strong carbon nanotube wires and cables. A space elevator just got one step closer.

Love the idea of more SEM animations! SEM microscope images are cool, but adding panning, rotating and zooming to the images really makes them come alive!

"I hope you find that interesting" - a funny way of expressing understatements. Excellent and jaw dropping material. As always.

I have been in the carbon nanotube field for almost 20 years. Anyone who says they understand this technology is lying. The true breakthroughs will come from tinkerers and experimentalists playing around like this. Keep going.

Buy a spinning wheel, knit some body armour.

Carbon nanotube-coated kevlar armor has been on the market for years. The coating greatly improves the kevlar's structural integrity and shelf life, even making it waterproof. Bullets that are stopped by the kevlar weave tend to embed themselves in the material, but the coated armor can protect it enough for bullets to bounce or barely stick to the vest itself.

I admire your great patience doing this Ben... extraordinarily painstaking. Thanks for sharing a fantastic and fascinating result.

Your channel is just so good with the quality of content you post, and extremely interesting. So glad I found your channel years ago, keep up the good work.

Wow, that's honestly the most stunning electron microscope animation I've ever seen 🤯 Your technique of getting a continuous zoom with discrete input worked really well. Just as I was thinking "he ought to put some steppers on those knobs" you mentioned your plan to do just that 😄 Thanks for all your work feeding my curiosity!

Love the video, love the way you use the SEM, reminds me of when we built the SEM in the garage by cutting the screen of the old oscilloscope (you get x-y control for free) and mounting it into the vacuum chamber to inspect flat panel display traces (if you energize them you can see them - sem can pick up 5V difference in float voltage). We got very wide field of view (>10cm) at high enough resolution. Post more!

Really glad to see the SEM back in action! It’s probably my favorite piece of equipment

Did I ever tell you how awesomely scientific education you share and have shared? Completely impressed. I consider this channel as pure ‘information’. I have gained enough resolution to stop. Mad respect.

Man, 2 nights back I was binge rewatching old Applied Science vids... nice timing. Always a treat. Thanks, Ben!

You define this entire category on KZread. Thanks so much for continuing to do what you do.

The fact that you get all that you do, out of such an antiquated machine as that, is astounding! Can't imagine what you could achieve with a modern rendition... Awesome man...

Wow! This is spectacular! Outstanding work! ⭐️🥇🏆 Thanks for sharing, love tuning in to see your projects! 👍

What is this? A carpet for ants? Oh... I guess it is I miss working with electron microscopes. Last time I used a similar device I got to move iron metals around. It was exciting for about 2 minutes and after that I started questioning my life choices.

I've always loved SEM pics but this video and animation is groundbreaking and epic.

This is awesome! I'm an animator and this tool would open up a world for me in terms of my animations. As soon as I saw it I thought stepper motors. I truly look forward to seeing this project. Thank you. You are doing something beautiful

That animation is so cool. Thanks for creating and sharing it with us all.

I am very excited about your plan to automate it. Definitely looking forward to those videos!

Beautiful work, thanks for taking the time to show me this amazing physical transition!

Ok...I watch a lot of scientific youtube videos and this is science PORN! Amazing job. We as a learned community of enthusiast don't get to see things like this often. BRAVO!

Frigging awesome. Glad to see you are back making videos.

Awesome project, as always... Love the idea of a CNC SEM 😂 Can't wait to see your implementation and new animations, brilliant.

I like how he makes far better science working on his shed than any experimental physics department I ever went.

The quality of your videos and projects is exceptional! Thank you for sharing them with us!

As always, the quality of your videos are awe-inspiring. Thanks again for your contribution!

Incredible amount of effort put in for the animation. Great work Ben. I love your work. It's always fascinating.

Awesome, Ben! I really look forward to this as you work on it! :D

Each time I think that you cannot top your last video in terms of quality, engagement, inspirational effect, educational value and general technical/scientific impact, you do. You continuously seed your audience with skills, ideas, and insights that they’ll carry with them into their scientific and processional careers, or journeys of curious discovery. Thank you.

I wish I could fund you to make hours of this kind of stuff. Nobody else is doing it and it's incredible.

I love videos like this. I believe you could make an entire channel out of nanoscale animations.

this channel is one of the most technical channel on earth

Quite simply, wow!...can't wait to see this project mature.

That animation is really neat. Thanks for making such good content!

Incredible! I really love the stuff you do. Thank you for sharing!

This is incredibly cool and incredibly impressive. I am constantly awed by your skill and knowledge, but now also by your patience in collecting those frames!

just a casual nanotube production. This is cool.

An extremely underrated channel, the work you put into this is amazing, please keep it up! getting closer to that 1mil mark now!

Ben continues to deliver top quality content to the internet and long may it go on! You know, I've always thought he missed a career in teaching, then I think, "Naah, we would have this channel?", and alas, selfishness wins every time :-) So little really top notch content out there, this stands out as a pearl.

Those are beautiful animations.

Man, I want to be you in 10 years! You've built an electron microscope, a laser, x-ray machine, made crazy glass that changes color in UV light and tons of other bleeding edge science things. I can't think of anyone who is so versatile and has so much knowledge about technologies of the future. I tip my hat to you Sir.

Incredible video, fantastic capture

This is amazing. Appreciate all the hard work.

simply amazing. your channel has never ceased to amaze me. thanks for sharing your brain.

Incredible! Fantastic work sir!

Only this channel entertains me on a date consisting of only 2's and 0's

Trust Ben to be the one who teaches and old SEM dog new tricks! Great stuff!

This has got to be the most amazing thing I've seen by far

Very cool! I'm pretty excited to see you upgrade it and get some really great animations from it :)

this is amazing, i super look forward to the results of your hard work

I was waiting for this video. Nice work man. Really cool animation.

after many many hours of watching your videos, I can only conclude that you, sir, are a genius.

600 stitched single frames, huh. "Painstakingly" must be an understatement. You document your (already) fascinating projects so well, and it's so interesting to see how you use mostly common tools to achieve remarkable things. Thanks for continuing with these posting.

Thank you for this. Appreciate very much all yr time and effort!

Even at the highest magnification, the carbon nanotubes aligning like that still looks like magic though :D

That is very cool! Thank you for going thru all that for us!

Get this man a new electron microscope!!!!! Incredible animation fantastic.

The most underated channel ever. You are Edison and his resources reincarnated into modern times.

I have to say, any one of your videos would have me thinking the person behind it was very well versed in the subjects being discussed. But to see how many subjects you cover, and at the depth/degree you dive into them, it is really very humbling I must say. Most science video channels I don't feel intimidated at all, but this channel is a different story. You have to be one of the very brightest people on youtube. Again, namely because i don't think i have seen another channel that goes into the same depth on such a breadth of subjects. I don't know of another channel that comes close. Glad to see your subscriptions are growing, well deserved... thanks again for producing these, super interesting stuff...

Amazing and super interesting as always!! Thanks for sharing!

Incredible. Keep up the amazing work! 👌🏻

I like you SEM-Videos the most. So interesting! thx

You really are an awesome human for sharing your knowledge. Thank you. If you plan on taking your delorean to half moon for another show you should totally let us know. Id love to thank you in person.

very cool that this old a hardware can still be used today. really rare nowadays

Thanks so much for these videos , it's amazing how important these videos are. There is a complete lack of good information on the graphene manufacturing process and carbon fiber. Almost everything is glossed over, hard to find or inscrutable. Like just looking into carbon fiber means having to sift through the mountains of "DIY carbon-fiber" thats about bloody vinyl stickers. But here you *literally* show discrete parts of it, thanks.
