(almost) fully independent at clicky and zoomy stuff

this morning i received training to use an electron microscope independently! i'm now allowed to open and close a vacuum chamber on my own and play the video game of aligning everything to make the focus better! it's honestly mostly just clicking buttons in a software and carefully sliding a door open and close lol

in the afternoon after installing all the equipment i'll need in the vacuum chamber i was allowed to operate the microscope on my own and managed to measure two samples. the other seven i'll hopefully manage in the next two days :)

#studying #physics #university #studyblr #i'm soooo tired #because i had to get up earlier then usual and annoyingly fell asleep quite late (later than usual anyways)#and then trying to pay attention to all the info during the training session #and then spending all afternoon switching between taking the images and operating the equipment...#i feel like i've entered some kind of parallel universe #i probably also didn't drink enough #here's hoping that training tonight will tire me out so much i fall asleep early!#but it was also kind of fun #(aside from the nerves of being left alone with veeerrrryyyy expensive equipment hahaha)
