Derp de derp, just working on my science project, nothing to see here...



Hold on, what's that over there...



Just a bit closer...



OH GOD THEY'RE EVERYWHERE!

:V


Disclaimer: Image is, of course, from Walfas' create.swf. It looks somewhat distorted since the sample is tilted with respect to the etching direction of the ion beam, hence Suika is a bit flattened (heh). The blobs on the image...I have no clue about, but probably random crap that deposited on it, or something.

Huge compared to the bees that live in your golden grating.

I should point out that the individual distinguishable features on Suika are about 200 nm across - she's plenty small enough to swat my nanobees.

  • It alllll makes sense now
I laughed, that was impressive.

Fightest is now Sciencest. Sciencer than the rest.

Good choice of Touhou character too~ Suika matches that pretty well!

That. We can probably safely say that you have made the world's smallest Touhou.

sweet.
I want to know the process of getting the results tho, how you do this?

You know what's next. Suika in kilometers.
Let's get to work!

QFT.

Also, awesome at my choice being the chosen one. I have influenced science. Finally my existance has meaning!

Also wondering how you did this, did the software already exist to make the laser behave in this way or did it take take quite a bit of fidgeting to make it do this? Either way, it makes it no less of a feat.

Jana we'll let you work on that one since you brought it up  :D

We'll need someone with a field of crops, a combine harvester, and a whole load of patience.

I want to know the process of getting the results tho, how you do this?

Very straightforward. The scanning electron microscope I used for this was equipped with a focused ion beam emitter - basically a gun that shoots high-energy particles at what the microscope is looking at. These particles knock off matter from what they're hitting, essentially burning through stuff. The control software that comes with the SEM and its gun allows for all sorts of shapes to be drawn on the sample image, which the ion gun then follows - very useful for cutting into samples or just investigating deep into them. Early on in my training for this setup I found out that the control software accepts images.

All I needed to do from that point on was to open a Suika in MS Paint, make sure she's black and white, import the .jpg into the control program, and make sure that the ion current was low enough to ensure the image is of good quality. Meant it took a bit more time, but the lines are left crisp and clear.

Spechul Member is more appropriate and lasting. It's a contribution to WTC science.

Hahahaha, that's amazing. Well done.

And now, hordes of mini Suikas are going to overrun Fightest's lab. :ohdear:

Nah, you won't get further than writing "CHA" before, well, y'know.

Good luck explaining it to anyone else, of course. :V

It's a wonder that it got into my country, and the dubbing was one of the best I ever heard.

Hordes you say? Sounds like a project! I will draw tiny Suikas everywhere! Nobody can stop me! Ah ha ha ha ha!

So Fightest, you have applied for the Mad Scientist course, too? Too bad, we don't have a course like that over here.

Wait a minute, people save images in .tiff format? I barely even knew it existed.

But yeah, that's pretty neat.
