Edit: A microscope that kills bugs by taking the coolest images of them. No judgement, even if I wouldn’t do it myself, I’m very glad other people do it for everyone else to see. Speaking of, if you get it I hope you upload some images! Lots of insects have a surprising amount of details up close, like their true number of eyes.
I feel this process could give an already-dead bug dignity. I try to rescue bees sometimes, but some of them are expired already when I try to help them. I really like bees so I wish I had a way to preserve their image, and return them to nature.
i used to look at the outsides of single-celled organisms with 'em, it’s pretty neat
electron microscopes truly are the most “you change the result by looking at it” instrument though. I burned many a hole in precious one-of-a-kind samples by looking at them too hard 😭
What exactly is a TEM?
