Help: What chip is this? I only know that it’s a Motorola / ON Semiconductor logic device, in an SOIC-16 package.
I realized a scanning probe microscope that can work inside my glove box might be quite helpful. It’s finally arrived: the NT-MDT Scanning Probe Microscope.
Found another scavenger’s treasure! A vintage Debye-Scherrer camera made in 1979. It is far more compact than a standard XRD system, so I can easily place it inside my glovebox interconnection system for inorganic specimen measurements.
High voltage failure occurs, possibly due to electron gun arcing or dielectric breakdown from the high voltage cable.
Completely refurbished but still not very satisfying.
Knowing I could down the rabbit hole but still I’ll design a secondary electron detector & scanning module for this scope, possibly hard decision.
Making poor man’s 3-axis hall probe! It’s a replacement for lakeshore MMZ series but this one can handle up to 50kG field.
Update: Fixed the micrometer that used for sample stage displacement.
Vacuum system seems still in tight, when it arrives the camera chamber is still under vacuum.
Electronic components still require dust removal
