I've attempted a transcription of the me356 segment (starting from hour 1:16:00 in the video) but unfortunately the audio is bad and left me unable to understand a few words. Hopefully others can fill the gaps. This being said, I'm not getting the impression that me356 is "a thing of the past" here, or at least for the MFMP team. I don't think me356 ever discussed purchasing a SEM (scanning electron microscope) on LENR-Forum.

Me356 is "somewhere" in Eastern Europe. He's a self-funded scientist. He's an incredible guy, a really incredible guy [emphasis]. He claims repeatable significant excess heat. He's preparing for 3rd party scrutiny, and we've been given ..... to go ... and observe it. His major breakthrough really came when he purchased an SEM recently. ... He has a russian approach to science, which is: “try: it works... try: it works, uh! Try: oh, doesn't work!”. He's doing research, research, research, experiment, experiment, experiment, while he's running (?) his companies. He could see which experiments produce a little bit of power, which didn't, and then he had all these samples, he got his SEM - it costs 50000 euros or whatever - he gets his SEM and he goes “oh that explains why that works! This one works, this one works, oh it didn't work...”
You know, so he's ..... looking tools doing something similar with our work, because we need to understand what's going on at the structural level. [Refers to person on the other side] And I think probably you have a wonderful opportunity here if you can get the bright people involved - I didn't try (?) University to be frank [laughs] - but you need to get... we need to help you get out of this mental barrier people have with the science “nothing worth investigating”. If you can show remediation of Cs137 very very quickly, if you can show transmutation of elements very very quickly, then I don't think you have any problem getting access to the facilities that you've got here (?).
- Bob, can you confirm that he's a real person?
I can confirm that he's a real person [nods]!
- Have you met him or spoke him to the phone?
I've slept on his floor and ran experiments with him; he actually ran ... [*video breaks*] 450 (?) Palazzio ... just around the corner from the center where ICCF19 was held. We ran that for a few weeks or stuff like that, and he ran it for a couple whatever ... a week and a half, two weeks.
...So yes, these are really SEMs from his real experiments. So [points to presentation slide] this is nickel and this is probably a combination of aluminium and lithium and so on.
This is some more... he says his kind (?) of reactor produces these interesting structures where you get these nanowires forming out of... he says this is the lithium, but I think it's probably the aluminium, he hasn't the EDX attachment to his SEM, but he's saying that the wires ... (?) as the reaction goes on.
