Atomic Fireball
Not an actual atomic fireball, but the candy, "atomic fireball." I broke open an atomic fireball, stuck it in the sputter-coater then put it in the SEM. Got some neat pictures, but the sugar didn't like the heat of the electron beam and if I focused on one spot too long the sugar would start to cook, expanding and filling the lab with a tasty cinnamon smell. Probably wasn't too good for the scope... You can see that some of the crystals are "splitting." Those are the ones that overheated a little.
