Ben Krasnow is just awesome, highly recommend his channel if anyone is into this kind of thing.

He stopped by my booth at Open Sauce yesterday, I let him know his work is awesome, inspiring, and also causes a little imposter syndrome. I'm just glad he shares his results with us!

Oh wow, he's basically built a LASIK machine and operating it _inside_ the vacuum chamber of the SEM.

Femto second laser lightsabering through insect heads + electron microscope to provide an MRI style animation through the insect. All in what appears to be some guys garage done as hacker as hacker can be. It’s crazy cool.

I hope this takes off and lowers the costs for folks wanting to do this to all kinds of dissections!
