Dear Ms. Shaffer, While reviewing some educational material, I was led to a NIST web page at http://www.nist.gov/public_affairs/gallery/electron.htm and read a nicely written description of NIST's "electron counter". Unfortunately there is a typographic error in the page. The page lists the temperature at which the device operates as being "0.1 Kelvin". You will surely want to retype that as "0.1 kelvin", with a lower case "k", especially since NIST is the promulgator of the SI in the United States and provides us with the rules of usage on the SI. I know how easily typographic errors can creep in, having made many myself. If you have any questions, either I or the NIST Metric Program Office can help you. regards, James R.
