He stopped by my booth at Open Sauce yesterday, I let him know his work is awesome, inspiring, and also causes a little imposter syndrome. I'm just glad he shares his results with us!

Femto second laser lightsabering through insect heads + electron microscope to provide an MRI style animation through the insect. All in what appears to be some guys garage done as hacker as hacker can be. It’s crazy cool.

Oh wow, he's basically built a LASIK machine and operating it _inside_ the vacuum chamber of the SEM.
