ok... as some of you know, i have been conducting some research with people at the USGS (Menlo Park, CA) as part of my sabbat. This work involves (among other things), smushing up snails and isolating various internal bits (cells, protiens, etc... etc...). We basically make a MILK SHAKE out of the snails and then process the snail-smoothie! Here's a few pics of the lab and the process...
--------------
- Dan Cain (my PIF; partner in fractionation!)
- lab work space
- centrifuge (closed)
- close up of cent. tubes
- samples in small vials
- another pic of lab
- the fish tank that holds the snails
- the flow chart for the lab prep
- more vials (some on ice, some just waiting for the next step)
- another shot of cent. (with lid off)
- cent. with lid closed
(i prop opened and closed this instrument ~100 times or more over the past few weeks!)
