Lab Notes for the Scanning Tunneling Microscope

Poured a concrete weight for the vibration isolation system:

• Lessons learned:
  • You probably need more water then called for on the package to make the concrete pourable.
  • Something to vibrate/shake the form is extremely useful.
  • Don't try to make reinforced concrete if you don't have to :D

Started building the frame for the STM vibration isolation.
