defanjos - yes it is.

but it is not:
a Confocal Microscope
not a TEM
not a SEM

but it does have it's own acronym :)

My wife went to one of those parties where risque wares are hawked. She came home with something that looked exactly like that. I wish I knew what it was and how to use it. ;)

Not MEMS. Not a Stereo Flourescence Microscope.

Wow Lawman, that sounds like some kind of party, but um, I don't think you'd want to use this gizmo in that sort of way ;)

Okay werty, you're verrry hot.

It's predecessors were STM's...

And it can be enabled to do AFM.

So what is it and where did I find it?

Congrats to lgn - you got it!

this [triple-o.de] is how it works.

So I guess that wraps up this gizmo quiz - did I do okay for a first-time gizmo host?

Just came in from cutting the grass, and found
the quiz almost over. Went seaching for 3D microscopy, and found it after browsing a few manufacturers. Not bad for 3 minutes work.

For a change, next weeks quiz will be low tech,
and will probably be in the morning on the East Coast, since I have a wedding in the afternoon.

Exact times TBA.
