I did a DNA extraction lab for genetics. I used my cheek cells mixed with salt water and meat tenderizer to break apart cells and histone proteins to release DNA. Then precipitated DNA out with alcohol. What would this look like under an electron scanning microscope? Still recognizable?2yr ⋅ ToastyOwl30 ⋅ r/chemistry
This isn't a rock exactly... its a rather large crystal formed from hematoxylin we use in the histology lab. But it seemed worth sharing since they don't generally get this large!3yr ⋅ ToastyOwl30 ⋅ r/rockhounds
This is a Keokuk geode. Does anyone know what the shiny black bit is? I've found it in a couple geodes now, all from one mine in Hamilton, IL. Thanks!5yr ⋅ ToastyOwl30 ⋅ r/whatsthisrock
I'm an idiot and this is 100 % fake, isn't it. I though they tried to add dye to less colorful parts but I have no idea what I'm looking at now. Help an amateur out?4yr ⋅ ToastyOwl30 ⋅ r/whatsthisrock
What is this? Dyed quartz? Glass? I bought this online. It was titled as Green Phantom natural quartz and I'm 98% sure it's not at all natural so my questions are... how could this potentially be made? How are the itty bitty teeny tiny crystals created? Thanks!4yr ⋅ ToastyOwl30 ⋅ r/whatsthisrock
From a trip to Highlands East, Ontario, abandoned uranium mines. I'm still trying to identify everything. If you recognize anything shout it out!4yr ⋅ ToastyOwl30 ⋅ r/whatsthisrock
I have no idea where this came from, its been in my house forever. Its extremely heavy. I thought brass weight but its not engraved at all... help? Sharpie for size reference!4yr ⋅ ToastyOwl30 ⋅ r/whatisthisthing
