Back to March '09 Back to Jun's Logbook

Today was a semi-productive lab day. I discussed a few details with Annette regarding the NIRSEF project as well as starting to work iwht the new student, Sean Nees, who will be continuing my project for at least the next summer and school year.

No new sample was ready to be used, but one used earlier in the day by undergraduate, Andres, was available. I used that sample to try getting some images using that sample. I got a few decent images which I saved on the computer, but are still not to the picturesque state that I would submit them to a paper or project. Annette also mentioned that there may be a few noise problems that are reoccurring. Hopefully the noise is due to a project going on the building that will end soon, rather than a problem with the scope that would require rebuilding. I think I'm bad luck. :(

The next meeting is scheduled to be next Wednesday. Annette will have an octanethiol sample prepared to use on that day. I will also be looking out for Sean Nees at school to set up a time we can both get into lab.
