12/08/06 - Hanging out in a physics lab with Chris and Mitch

 Ooo beakers |
 Chris carefully measures out some chemicals |
 They've all been carefully measured and are ready to go |
 More blue liquids |
 A syringe for extracting small amounts of liquid |
 This shot was staged. The green liquid had no purpose |
 The small beakers in the big beaker |
 Chris measured out some more stuff |
 Careful.. |
 Jars |
 Jars, bottles.. whatever |
 I love this sign |
 Some.. crap |
 Look at all the.. rocks? |
 Gas handle |
 Some gloves and safety glasses |
 Gloves, safety glasses, and a little data |
 A model of a crystal lattice |
 If you look at it the right way you'll get a hexagon |
 Hexagon tubes! |
 A terrible shot of a material Chris made as soon through the microscope. Best I could do! |
 The same compound |
 It looks better with just a straight macro image |
 Magnetic crystals! |
 It took a long time to make this little pile |
 If you look at the lattice another way you get a square! |
 Square tubes |
 Sounds like a party to me |
 Chris carefully brings some beakers across the lab |
 Don't bump them! |
 Chris sets down the beakers so he can get the door |
 In this closet they won't get vibrated as much |
 Setting up light |
 Gently adding water |
 Gentle.... |
 He shoots the side rather than right into the water to reduce vibrations |
 Some older beakers |
 The fluids are starting to rise |
 Gentle! |
 Chris looks over some data |
 Showing the magnetic properties of some crystals |
 This was a good sample! |
 I loooove liquid nitrogen |
 Some.. magnetic sensor thing |
 This guy guards the equipment |
 A lever.. |
 Why even have it? |
 Some digital display |
 A webcam |
 Dials |
 A climate controlled box |
 Inside the box |
 Some wires in the box |
 An empty beaker in the box |
 More stuff in the box |
 Some other... equipment |
 This if for sale if you want it.. |
 Sensing magnetic fields? |
 More equipment |
 Controls. |
 Another large magnet machine |
 Beakers in beakers |
 Another syringe |
 Crystals ready for harvesting |
 So many crystals |
 Very delicate |
 This ad cracked me up |
 Chris adds some info to the log book |
 Log book closeup |
 More log book |
 Starting to harvest crystals |
 Once the liquid drains, you've got crystals! |
 It takes time |
 Big cyrstals on the rim |
 These crystals are pretty big for this kind of work |
 Ripple! |
 Ripple! |
 A good drop! |
 A drop in action |
 Nice ripples |
 Drop! |
 Bigger ripples |
 An even nicer ripple set |
 Drop! |
 Ripple! |
 Drop! |
 The best drop I got |
