Is it possible to replace the display with an LCD ?

Great job, congratulations! Thanks for saving this beautiful machine :)

Fun fact, if you do a 32:52 Echo Video Effect it will show the whole high res image on the video <3 It's an amazing marvel this electron microscope! Good that you managed to repair it, never thought I would find this to be so interesting but there it is lol, gj man :)

No way that was 35 mins

Nice work

silly giant heatsinks

Having an electron scanning microscope in your man cave is not just beating the final boss but becoming it. Having done my apprenticeship as an optronics engineer this is the thing of dreams.

sir your skills are very impressive!

Very interesting, well done.

Bookmarking this for when someone gives me a free 80's Scanning Electron Microscope! Great work!

Came over cause of @howtocookthat

I might need one of those now…

wow, great work. please keep on posting your next steps.

I almost feel a fraction of your happiness coming from here 28:33 to here 32:02. Fantastic job!

I work with a Thermofisher Verios XHR and its blowing my mind how low tech these used to be.

This is actaully amazing. It is so incredibly cool that we managed to make a way to see such small things. And then the fact you were able to repair this with only two other people and a lot of documents. A lovely video.

Does it run doom?

Wow, congrats, great project and video!

I have a couple of those in the shed. They're not used much.

Wow! I am actually jealous! Congrats on your SEM!

Every once in a while I find really great videos like these and they really blow my mind. Thanks for uploading such a greatly document video really appreciate it.

Wow.

Would be neat to see some of those cobwebs of analog circuits replaced with a custom PCB. Also maybe building a new PC to replace that poor ol' XP Dell. Maybe replace the CRT with something more modern too. Those might make for interesting collabs with other creators that specialize in those fields. Excited to see what you end up imaging!

My major was literature and I am soooo mind-blown by this video. Exhilarating!

14:38 just tap the 3v3 signal and run it thru your own adc lulz

Why 100v? It doesnt look like it's from japan? I didn't think that was a common lab voltage? Are you sure it's not actually ~110v lazily labelled?

Cool.

How exciting it was to watch this beautiful machine, which I happily named, The Lazarus, come to life once more. I never thought that watching this video would have been so interesting and awesome, but it indeed was exceptional. I learned many new things that I never knew existed and will carry it with me throughout my life. We parish for the lack of knowledge, so it is always good to learn about new things. You never know, I just may need this knowledge someday.

Awesome job

Run monitor from the pc towers

You can rebuild that pump

need a part 2 of fine tuning it 100%

This is exactly what I was hoping it was. Ever since I heard about these at the age of 12 I have always though it would be supper cool to have one. Even when playing Lego I would have one in my secret spy base, and the electronic repairs where exactly the sort of thing I love to do, though I suck at electronics. What a cool project.

That machine can make a good album cover

Congratulations! We have a Sciaky Electron Beam (EB) Welder that is also quite old. The biggest difference between our machine and yours is ours is much larger with a vacuum chamber large enough for aviation components. Also we weld joints with our image while you reflect your beam to view images. When this machine is malfunctioning it doesn’t give up its secrets easily. Many nights I’ve left work in a brain fog after spending a whole day getting nowhere figuring out the issue. Your video had me on the edge of my seat finishing your sentences yet wondering what you were going to encounter next and how I might deal with it? Very intelligent very creative approach got this machine back up and running! Congratulations once again-I’m so excited for you!

This was SO satisfying

who else saw the spider in 22:27

You just gained a new subscriber!

Cardinals?

As university postdoc responsible for a 20 year old SEM i have to say fcking good job!

this is awesome

this is awesome

Really cool work. Congratulations

wow!

Cards is probably Cardinals, a MLB team.

I got trained on a Hitachi SEM at work once; it was super fun to use.

Love this. Thanks for sharing.

So cooooollllllll

Hi my name is Chris Adams, I used to work at The University of Birmingham in the UK. I’m 75yrs old and retired 25hrs. I worked on Philips 500 SEMs and 300 and 400 STEMS with EDAX, JEOL 200 and 400 TEMs and HVEM 1Mv. I found your video very interesting and your enthusiasm is amazing! Is this your day job? Kind regards, Chris.

Bro I'm not even into electronics, but this video was amazing! Keep up the good work!
