Bring stuff to xray. The system I'm building now should have 5um resolution. Alan, if you ever make it to London come drop by the lab. Bring stuff to xray.

My current source it way too dim for imaging within practical exposure times and is not a very good point source. Awesome!

Thanks.

I can only imagine that the person who left a message bad-mouthing Roy's must have a vested interest in the other Pie and Mash shops. What a cheap trick.

The part of the Wantz stream that ran along through the vegetable allotments had large drainage pipes from neighbouring housing in Fritzands Lane and Cresent Road branching into it. These pipes, about 1 metre in diameter, were just large enough for us to climb into, and with the aid of an old "Ever Ready" torch, go for many hundreds of metres underground and explore the "Centre of the Earth", .........or so we thought. On returning to "good old Dagenham" a few months ago, I found that much more extensive developement has occured over the years, and the open part of the Wantz Stream that I have many happy memories of, has now been piped underground and gone forever....................... Only now, and with use of the internet, am I more knowledgeable with regard to this little stream and how much history surrounds it........... if only we could put on our wellies again and step back in time........wouldn't it be great....................."Long live Dagenham".
