[NewCandle] Nick's SEM photos of his aluminum corrosion experiments

[Nick Reiter]

Hi Horace,

Thanks for the input.  I am going to definitely be
re-examining the anode glow again, followed by SEM and
EDS.  These photos though are from the rolled Al foil
in salt water hydrolysis experiments - no power
applied.

other than the mysterious powers of the atom! he says
in an excitable 1950s docu-voice;)

The Holy Grail 'neath ancient Roslin waits.
The blade and chalice guarding o'er Her gates. 
Adorned in the masters' loving art, She lies;
She rests at last beneath the starry skies.
