 +==== Evaporation Coated 3D-Print (2026-04-25) ====
 +{{:gallery:2026-04-coated-petg.jpg?600|}}
 +
 +We used out [[equipment:edwards-306:start|Edwards AUTO 306 Coating System]] to thermally evaporate aluminum onto a 3D-printed PETG part. It doesn't stick well, but it was a fun exercise to see what happens when a 3D-print is placed into a vacuum chamber.

 +We managed to acquire these very nice Edwards coating systems for sputtering, thermal evaporation, and e-beam coating.
 +==== Interferometer Experiment for measuring STM piezo displacement (2026-01-18) ====
 +{{:gallery:2026-01-18-stm-interferometer.jpg?600|}}
 +
 +Laser interferometer setup ([[projects:optics:start|Optics project]]) for measuring the displacement of the piezos on our [[projects:stm|Scanning Tunneling Microscope]] (STM).
 +
 +Laser diode in the back, the piezo under test is in the front, and a camera to the left to record the interference fringes.

 +
 +We managed to get our hands on some high-quality lab furniture.  This is a work-in-progress picture of the (not yet functional) wet lab at FAFO.

 +{{:projects:stm:pxl_20250920_212713202.jpg?600|}}
 +
 +Business end of our DIY [[projects:stm|Scanning Tunneling Microscope]] (STM). You can see the tungsten wire tip barely above a shard of DVD that we were trying to image.
