It's also bull. I work in cryogenics (liquid helium temps) and we say "degrees Kelvin" all the time. Sounds like just another one of those academic dweebs showing off... I guess you can't call it a photograph since it wasn't created by capturing light energy. More of a sensor map image.
Geeze Fred, posts like this just warm my heart -- to at least 16 degrees Kelvin. Indeed, in the semiconductor field we also say degrees Kelvin because we also do Kelvin probing in our electronic testing. Sometimes we go
totally wild and say Kelvin Scale too. Every now and again we run into some renegade that deals in the Rankine scale. Our He cryo pumps operate at ~ 4.2° Kelvin. Notice that I didn't say degrees, I used the symbol that was formerly known as degree
In our engineering development work we used scanning tunneling microscopy to view the results of ion implantation within the crystalline silicon lattice. It lets us see the ions that have covalently bonded with the silicon and the depth of implantation :evo:
