Sorry chap, an SEM is a Scanning Electron Microscope - it uses an electron beam rather than a beam of light to image a sample, so you can get much higher magnification (the effective wavelength of an electron is much shorter); it also has advantages that heavier elements appear brighter under SEM so when looking at thin sections or polished blocks of rocks, different minerals are easier to separate, and you can spot things like tiny flecks of gold much easier. Finally, there are X-Rays emitted from the sample where the electron beam hits too, so you can derive chemical information (what elements are in the thing you're looking at) by analysing the wavelengths of X-Ray given off.

4887 Ooooooooh! Daaaaaaaaaang! That's mah JAM!!!!! Have you ever come across anything even slightly radioactive? :p

Its so out of sync though. There's a little thing in the corner that says this is post
4887. I want that ontrack.

4891. Basically @Nuclear_Creeper0, if you post starting with the little post number in the bottom corner of the previous post, you'll always be on track :)

I've dealt with plenty of radioactive mineral samples, but we don't analyse them on our machines - even with an SEM, a small amount of stuff is ablated from the surface by the electron beam; if your instrument has a risk of being contaminated by radioactive material, many companies won't service it, so we have to be careful.

Obviously instruments at places like Sellafield don't count for this, you can't avoid it there!

4895. My automation for AE2 inscribers in Regrowth is monstrous... and I love it :D

All done from one interface, using Mekanism logistical transporter pipes and a logistical sorter.

4897. Heh :D amazingly it works too - I use 7 inscribers, 1 for silicon, 3 for printed circuits and 3 for full processors. It's made more awkward by the fact you need different chipsets for each of the processors instead of just redstone for all of them.
