#FunWithPhysics

Fun in the lab: Accidentally (?) painting funny little images with our atoms. I claimed it was a sheep on a rock, and the PhD student agreed and saved this slightly altered drawing to the lab book!
(This is an averaged image over a 2D array of single atoms that we detect with a high-resolution microscope)
#FunWithPhysics

A scientific plot where every square in a 2D grid has a color according to a color scale from blue (0.0) over white (1.0) to red (2.0).
The resulting image is an oval white blob with a small red "face" where 2 small black eyes were drawing. Two thin white legs connect it to another white surface, representing the "rock".

@dlakelan
I'd like to see him do the same thing with mercury so it becomes conveniently compact enough for anyone to reproduce and verify on their kitchen worktop.
