So I run this big metal UHV-STM (electron microscope). One of the major problems it has is it is so sensitive I can see vibrations from anything. People walking down the hallway, doors closing and trains a block away. So when the microscope is running, it floats on these dampeners. But that is not enough, because all of the cables connected to it transmit the vibrations. So Borislav, a colleague who has a similar machine offered to help me minimise vibrations the way he does it. Borislav and I carried out the careful cable management scheme. The whole time I was thinking: 'Mr. Naydenov, rig the chamber for shilent running.'
