[3dem] Fwd: Flooding

[Markus Grabenbauer]

Hello Boulder Lab

I am also very happy to hear that you do not need any assistance 
regarding the experiences I've learned during and after flooding of a 
tomography microscope at MPI Dortmund. Jaap knows, what I am talking 
about. It costet us at least one year and therefore I do not wish this 
to anybody else. Hope, your homes will also be dry soon.

Greetings from Heidelberg

Markus
