Welcome to another installment of Name That Sample! We have seen such a great response from previous weeks that we are going to give away another Brand New Netbook. Lets see how you all do guessing whats under our Scanning Electron Microscopes.
Update: July 15,2010: WE HAVE A WINNER! This week was quite a tough challenge. The correct answer is fly ash, which is a residue from the combustion of coal. The person who came the closest to the answer was David with the guess of polymer microbeads. Congratulations David! You will be notified about your Brand New Netbook! Keep an eye out for next week’s Name That Sample!
The winner will be contacted via email.
The contest will be open for the next 2 weeks. Best of luck.
This scan was done by using our SEM EDX Analysis.
