A lab colleague and I discussed this very scene when that movie came out. Our comments weren't as nice as yours, though. But I adore table-top SEMs and, after working with the big high-vacuum SEMs for years, want to get one of my own.
Well, I love the idea of a tabletop SEM, but looking to buy one is a bit of a minefield. There are a few good ones out there, but most I would stay away from.
@@pfadiva Well you hit the jackpot on that one. The Hitachi tabletops are about the only ones worth having, in my estimation. They're flexible and will always work. *Disclaimer, I used to work for Hitachi.
Funny thing is the microscope images are actually from a bud of cannabis, it was a little joke from the sfx crew. You were spot on.
Thanks man! I'm somehow not very surprised.

@@instructinate I've used the Hitachi TM4000 extensively and am quite a fan of it. I like Hitachi scopes in general.
