October+5-6

October 5th: -Au(III) sample with 8thiol exposed to beta source for 1 hour -only one image -it was 'one of those days' where the scope would not approach no matter what we tried -would not even approach long enough for 1 image to be taken -when an image was finally taken, it was of relatively poor quality, with exceptional drift and little definition -a poor day overall with regards to scanning

October 6th:

-a much better day of scanning over all -same sample from yesterday (8thiol on Au(III) exposed to beta source for one hour; scanning exposed side) -I cut a new tip before starting the first scan -All of these scans are in the same general area- because of the lack of scans yesterday and given the quality of the scans today, i didn't want to mess with the scope very much
