When I was a just graduated EE, my first gig was with the Geology & Geography dept of the University of Tennessee. I jockied the homemade electron microprobe made for the express purpose of analysing the newly acquired NASA moon rock samples. I prepared the samples (got to handle moon rocks, well, pieces about the size of a pea) by cutting wafers from them and mounting them to the probe slides.
It's a small world. Brother, Gary, a machinist at Lawrence Radiation Laboratory in Berkeley, was one who made the containers in which those samples were collected and carried back from the moon. I remember being in awe of the tight tolerances he told me were allowed in the machining.
