makers of compound fulcrum bolt cutters and shears. There are even a set of HK Porter cutters on the Moon, brought and
left by one of the Apollo missions as a backup system to cut cables before the pod blasted off to reunite with the orbiting
capsule. Alan has spent the last 23 years as the owner of Merrimac Tool Inc, which has long standing contracts for precision
machining, engineering, and assembly services all over the world, with emphasis on Items used in the Medical Industry,

fabrication of the M2BIO and the Pentafluor Fluores-cence Illuminator, now sold through Zeiss.
