ABSTRACT
This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the key concepts discussed in the preceding chapters of this book. The book discusses the technical self-instruction in scanning tunneling microscope (STM) was not engaged in by the author taking a "time out" from lab work in its witness-able social order. Measurement and experiment appeared to form an internal relation, so much so that the distinctive methods of experimentation in STM not only be practiced but also be shown to prove constitutive of projected and eventually achieved measurement. M. Lynch's Scientific Practice and Ordinary Action is a milestone in the field of science studies. The recommended respecification of "epistemology's traditional topics", however, seems to present just that "Schutzian" problem in and from its first step onwards. Since the initial series of lab ethnographies, the field of S&TS seems to have "moved on"-"out of the lab" and "into the real-world", in accordance with centrifugal movement that Latour had recommended more than 30 years ago.
