Good observation! Yes in this state it would be an issue, we just finished the alignment, we will run a few test and check the imaging before finalizing the setup which include making protection around the system 🙏

I think one is from Saruman and the other from Sauron?
Not sure what is the use of Saruman's one though 😅

1) two vertical support rods, simple Thorlabs posts that reminded us the Two Towers from Lord of the Rings.
2) A fully caged system giving a high rigidity to the setup and reinforcing the stability of the parts that are hanging in the air.

But going upright comes with challenges, not only because it was our first time building such microscope:
📏 The objective lens has to be placed significantly higher to leave room for a sample stage below and potential illumination sources.
💥 That makes stability a real issue.

Most research microscopes are inverted
𝐒𝐨 𝐰𝐡𝐲 𝐮𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭?
Because we’re working with photonic chips in which we have to couple an optical fiber in, quite accurately which is not possible with the sample upside down.
... and that means flipping the whole optical setup upside-down (literally).

Their prototype uses a retractable plasma blade fuelled by compressed liquid propane and oxygen, reaching temperatures around 4,000°F, hot enough to cut through steel. 🤯 While it's not yet practical for duelling Sith Lords, it's a remarkable engineering feat.

Unveiling the Local Fate of Charge Carriers in Halide Perovskite Thin Films via Correlation Clustering Imaging
As the field of metal halide perovskites matures, a range of compositionally different perovskite films has found a place in efficient optoelectronic devices. These films feature variable local struct...
