I’m a biology major at the University of California at Santa Barbara. I got to use a $450,000 microscope. Think of it as an Aventador but one you use to take pictures of really tiny things and powered by science lasers.
Full disclosure: I took a microscopy class and got to use this. I pay money to go school so there’s a bit of a bias. I didn’t take this review seriously and neither should you
Exterior 7/10
It is very clearly an expensive scientific instrument and looks the part. Walking near it is intimidating. The lines flow cleanly but this 2007 instrument is starting to show it’ age.
Interior 0/10
Looking inside of this is a bad idea. It has more than enough power to make you blind. The infrared laser can cook your retina without you noticing that it’s on
Acceleration 10/0
Photons are emitted at the speed of light from the laser, so the acceleration is both insanely high because speed of light and 0 because it technically never accelerated and was always going that fast. I’ve decided to split the difference on the score and just divide 10 by zero.
Braking 3/10
If thrown from a truck at 60MPH, it would break apart and kinda skid over the road. Probably stops faster than my old MGB, but not very good
Ride 5/10
You sit on a comfy swiveling roller chair that you can use to scoot around the room quickly. It’s nice to sit in but the bolstering is awful. Taking any corners in this thing could prove very dangerous to anyone involved. At highway speeds, I would recommend motorcycle leathers because you’re probably going to fall off and die horribly and it will make identifying te body easier.
Handling
Handling is accomplished through interface with a computer. This program that controls this scares me and I’m pretty sure has access to nuclear launch codes.
Gearbox
Toys 100/10
This thing allows you to visualize cells at very high resolutions very clearly thereby advancing science and humanity itself with each image.
Audio 2/10
It clicks and hums a bit, nothing too interesting
Overall Value: It’s less fun than an Aventador but takes much better images. I guess pretty good
Total: /e
Engine: correct
Power: It does run on electricity
Transmission: Ummmmmmm Let’s just call it an automated manual
0-60 Time: Physics says I’m not allowed to ask nor answer this question
Top Speed: 671 million MPH
Drivetrain: There are many motors in several locations
Curb Weight: Heavy
Seating:
1 in front
MPH: yes
MSRP ($USD): $450,000 as equipped
Bonus Image, each one of these tubes is $10,000+
