The exfoliation of 2D materials is a labour-intensive business! Thousands of flakes are ripped from the bulk crystal and placed onto a silicon wafer, and then meticulously inspected at up to 100x magnification to find the largest and most defect-free flakes. This 2x magnified image shows the sheer scale of this effort that rivals in its complexity - at least, on the surface - the observation of faraway galaxies.
