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
