Type 1 water system

You can't see single-molecules if your water is dirty!

Plasma cleaner

Look at the glow! You also can't see single molecules if your coverslips are dirty. The plasma can be used to change surface chemistry too. Hooked up to O2 tank.

Spin coater

Yes it's a CD player. But it spins and works!

"Raman" microscope

Not currently setup, but could be a fun project. Andor Xyla cameras for spectroscopic detection.
