As the moniker says, I'm an old retired lab rat. I spent the first thirty years of my working life in numerous engineering fields and the last two dozen years as the senior research technician for a university research institute. In that time I have worked with and repaired microscopes ranging from old mirror illuminated student microscopes through Amray SEMs. However, one thing that I am not is an expert on that subject or any other. By choice, I am a "generalist" with skills in electronics, physics, material science and mechanics, in numerous forms. Of recent, I find that I fix more toasters and washing machines than lasers and complex research equipment. I stumbled across this forum while exploring cheap ways to micro-focus an ultraviolet light source, (probably a laser diode). So, I'm pleased to be here, but, probably can provide more questions than answers to questions.

Howdy,
Welcome to the Forum from another Texan.
Sounds like you have an interesting project.

Howdy; Wstenberg! I have wanted, for a long time, to build a 'one-off' electronic circuitboard printer. I describe it over on the "Off Topic" forum. My biggest issue is doing it on the cheap!
