His SEM does not show much internal detail of the particles. It does show the distribution. Anyway, you will see it in a couple of weeks. He is writing it still, and I am translating it. I had to translate and submit an abstract and I have to make poster now, quickly. It won't be difficult for me to babysit the poster because I will just hand out the paper and say "read this!" Whether it is in the final format or not, I will hand it out. I warned Mizuno I will. Professors are SO SLOW. They drive me crazy. - Jed
