Femto, 1e-15, 0.000 000 000 000 001, is really really REALLY small,
an electron microscope would certainly help with this one.
The first electron microscope prototype was built in 1931 by the
German engineers Ernst Ruska and Max Knoll. It uses a focused beam
of electrons, instead of photons to illuminate the sample.
Two main types are used;
TEM (Transmission Electron Microscope): The image is made up by
passing the beam through a sample and seeing the
“shadows”
SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope): The image is formed by the
electron beam scanning across the surface of the sample and the
emitted secondary electrons are used to form a picture.
Other types include;
Reflection Electron Microscope (REM)
Scanning Transmission Electron Microscope (STEM)
Environmental Scanning Electron Microscope (ESEM), where live
samples can be viewed. (I believe they should paint these ones
green)
The electron microscope is used in biology, chemistry, physics,
material science, engineering, forensic science and now for the
first time Geocaching!
The Centre for Microscopy and Microanalysis at The University of
Queensland is part of the Australian Microscopy & Microanalysis
Research Facility (AMMRF), which allows member institutions access
to not only electron microscopes, but Confocal and Fluorescence
light microscopes, Atomic Force Microscopes and Scanning Tunneling
Microscopes, etc.
The above coordinates are not of the cache, but a place where
you might find an electron microscope.
So fire up your electron guns and turn on your GPSr.
To find the cache, you must identify this picture:
The name contains 3 words; you need the first 2;
Convert each letter to a number according to this
A=1, B=2 ……. Y=25, Z=26
Sum of the letters in the first word = A
Sum of the letters in the second word = B
S27° 29.A+477
E153° 00.B+66
Stealth is required as GZ can be muggle central at times, choose
your times well.
Please don’t provide any details of the cache container in
your logs!
