Week+of+Nov+3


 * Monday, Nov 3**

wow. period. it's already November. I seriously cannot believe this. Time just flies by. Anyway, the leaves are so pretty with autumn colors and I love it :) Plus, I feel much better today.

Today, I had some sWEEET images yah-hee!!! This is so exciting. I feel so good. Since I don't have USB right now, I'll update the things and organize the images that I captured on Thursday thogh.

For the first 30-45 minutes I didn't get anything. I tried and tried but it did not work at all. So I made a new tip. it didn't work. So I used a new surface. it didn't work. So I cleaned up and rearranged the surface little bit with tapes and my little special equipment to flatten out the surface. Oh my. It worked!

The thing was it worked like if it were in simulation mode. The wave was seriously gorgeous! I captured bunch of images. I'm so excited.

Anyway, what I'm going to do with it is I'm going to compare the carbon bond length of this image with the one that I estimated for the image that I got from simulation mode. If the both approximation are roughly the same, that would be so neat.

now I only have a big, generalized image so I think I'll zoom down into 1.5 nm ish. No. might be 1.59nm to exactly compare with the simulation mode.


 * Thursday, November 6th**

Today was a half day. Plus, we have no school tomorrow. Horray! Yes. I need this time to catch up. Anyway, I'm going to upload the sweet images that I got on Monday. (The sad thing is I can't get a good image as I did on monday..hmmm) See how uniform the pattern is as shown below.

Images below are the ones that I got today and as you can see, it is very rough. I tried to clean the tip by using the high voltage and I cleaned the surface to attempt to get a good image but it did not turn out well. So I just compared it with the simulation microscope which shows what the image should be. Anyway,I'll probably working on the measurement things afterwards.
