[22:44] wifi router [22:44] err [22:44] no - AVR32 based dev platform [22:46] oh man, so this laser microscope thing [22:46] http://teravolt.org/Laser_Microscope.htm [22:46] I was like "hey, I have a laser" [22:47] so dropped some mineral water into its lid, picked up a drop on the back of a plastic pen, held it in front of the laser [22:47] and shat brix, there are little bacteria swimming around [22:47] it's great [22:47] instant microscope [22:47] oh [22:47] I thought it went book [22:47] boom [22:47] xD [22:48] kinda wish I knew the scale I was looking at [22:48] yeah [22:48] (btw, sorry for the kidding ;)) [22:49] awesome [22:49] shipit (~sumeet@c-67-180-23-104.hsd1.ca.comcast.net) joined #highaltitude.

[22:50] I mean the laser device [22:50] it's a drop of water, and a laser [22:50] yea [22:50] $3ish from dealextreme.com [22:51] I got a green 50mW module for $20 IIRC [22:51] works well [22:51] does any laser do? [22:51] Randomskk, so that works? I never got around to trying it [22:51] fsphil: yea! I was really surprised [22:51] fantastic [22:51] but literally I just took my laser in my hand, a drop of water suspended on the first piece of plastic I found (a pen) and shone it through [22:51] instantly on the wall an awesome display [22:52] Action: fsphil gets a pen ... :) [22:52] really awesome though. it's fascinating. wonder where my camera is [22:53] wonder what else to try it on, too [22:53] I think you must be seeing a reflection, in order to get a focussed image [22:54] want a photo? [22:54] hmm.. I can't form a drop [22:54] I don't know a huge amount about optics or microscopes [22:54] fsphil: what I did was [22:54] something with tails that swim, diluted? [22:54]
