got some more photos! these are really just spamming photos.


cool machines first.

centrifuge machine.


microscopes.


the vortex that all the secondary school people are addicted to. you get a nice tornado when you vortex distilled water!


imba microscope. the lens are at the bottom.


incubator, the pipette tubes sit in the small squares.


another incubator. the floaters were shaped like chromosomes. :D


oh this is very cool. it's a touch-activated bunsen burner! so you just wave your hand over the sensor and piak! the fire comes on.


inside of the centrifuge. someone didn't position his pipette tube cap properly and it broke in one of these. loud noises from the centrifuge = bad.


the giant rotors of the centrifuges in the centrifuge room.


THIS is plastered over the lift interiors.


ah, another cool contraption. this door (yes, it's a door!) leads to the dark rooms where work with light-sensitive films goes on. you get in, turn the door and the gap opens to the dark rooms! (it's to keep the light out.) the dark rooms are pitch dark and very cool.


asphyxiation - when there's not enough oxygen/ too much nitrogen. and then you'll be like that stickman, there.


the corridor leading to the labs.


outside of the lab. the door there is cool!


it opens on touch! so you wave at it, again, and it opens! we had quite a bit of fun with this.


SCAN TO OPEN. it's very sensitive and opens sometimes when you walk past it. not good when it's other people's lab. but i think they're used to it anyway.


general interior of our lab. the messiness is very comfortable.


FLIES!!! oh yes i forgot to put in the warning sign. these are drosophilia melanogaster fruit flies. :DDDD they're kept in the tiny bottles with a layer of food agar at the bottom. if you flick the bottles, they swarm around.


like this.
they dump the dead flies into this bottle with alcohol, looks like fly wine. O.o


glucose solutions from the stores. researchers actually have to buy them with their own money, poor thing.


ahh this is the biochem textbook that our lecturers kopped all the diagrams from. now you know.


view from the sky bridge.


the sky bridge itself. (took group photo here.)


BONUS:

MORE WORMS!

can you see them? these were the ones that reproduced so they're smaller.


yes this is a very good photo of them!


that's all.

the really interesting things about imcb are learning about the experiments and talking crap during waiting times, though.

well, it was fun while it lasted!
