Re: [DIYbio] Nanomicrobiology?

I've been training to operate a Focused Ion Beam milling machine. It can mill and deposit metal with a minimum spot size of about 10nanometers. I've been making probes with a pipette puller then milling the ends with a certain angle at a certain width along the probe tip.

I think FIBs can make AFM probes... I didn't see a picture/diagram of the tips they were using in those papers.

These articles are very interesting:

Has anyone here experimented with this technology themselves, or do you know anyone who has? What are your thoughts on the applications of the technology where it stands, or on how accessible it is? How viable would it be for modifying DNA/RNA sequences or proteins manually?
