Listening
to customers - new dual fuel option
|
By
listening to customers, Gatan UK heard of the difficulties and/or expense of obtaining
liquid helium in some countries. Our new "dual fuel" option allows liquid
helium cold stages (for SEM ) to be operated with either cold nitrogen gas or
liquid helium. This is available with new systems, or as an add-on.

It's
Trivia - but do you know-how?
|
If
you've got an interesting or unusual trivia question - whether you know the answer
or not - send it in and we will ask KnowHow readers for their solutions. There
will be a prize for the best entry!
To
start with, do you know why light, which has travelled in a straight line from
the sun, spreads out through a large hole in a cloud as if it were a point source
just above the cloud?
And
do you know why bathroom scales give a higher reading on a carpet than they do
on a hard surface (as much as several kilograms difference)?
