Mask samples were coated in metal to prepare for the scanning electron microscope. The machine directs a beam of electrons at the subject and producing a high resolution scanned image for review. Here, August Mendoza gently places a square of metal-coated mask on a peg for the machine.

Engineering faculty member Matt Caputo assisted the class with operating the scanning electron microscope and saving images within the software to evaluate for the Penn State Shenango Undergraduate Research Fair in April. As Alyssa Kelly loaded her sample, Caputo assisted with clarifying the image.
