Pressure achieved so far

This project, part of a larger project at PrakashLab, aims to make scanning electron microscopy (SEM) accessible to classrooms by creating an affordable solution. A key aspect is the development of a low-cost vacuum pump that achieves 0.02 Torr pressure. Through innovative design and cost-effective materials, this initiative seeks to overcome financial barriers. By providing hands-on SEM experience, the project aims to foster scientific curiosity and enhance STEM education.
