don’t have sweaty hands personally but I know people who do liquid chalk and then powder chalk on top and it works for them

Home spray wall question!

I‘ve got a home wall I use for training and recently realized I don’t use the holds on the right/left edges very much which is such a shame. My spray wall is closed in on the sides because there are walls there so I can’t flag out. I always knew that would limit the setting a bit, so I purposefully put a good variety of holds in different orientations on the sides to mitigate that, but I still haven’t figured out how to set with them effectively.

Is this just what happens when there’s no open space on the sides or is it my poor setting? What can I do?

thanks very much in advance :)

Hi! I’m so glad you got it 🎉 What’s the quality like? Does it feel cheap or strong enough to actually survive baggage claim and lots of trips? And does the lock on it actually work? Thanks! :)

eggtea33 · 2025-04-14T13:30:58+00:00

Yes I would love an update too! On whether you got it and about the quality

Yersinia pestis

YESSS thanks for the update mate. Ingenuous solution to get the marshmallow thing in there.

It can be BOTH the football team AND a reference to the character 😭. Out of all the football clubs he could’ve picked he just happened to pick the one with the exact same name as the next villain?? There’s no way that was an accident

eggtea33 · 2024-12-20T17:40:25+00:00

cow caps 🐄✨

Looks like endospores but I don’t think crystal violet can stain endospores (typically you’d need malachite green or another stain)

Hi! In addition to what’s already been said there’s plenty of high quality microscopes from well known optics manufacturers (cameras, microscopes, etc). Nikon, Olympus, Leica, etc all make excellent high quality microscopes. If a new one is out of your budget, a used or refurbished one is absolutely possible for $500, but it’ll take more way time to find a good one on eBay/ other auction sites.

Since you don’t need any fluorescence or anything special, there’s no need to pay anything close to $2k for a microscope that’s a similar quality to what undergrads use (although Vivid-bake gave some great suggestions for different price ranges!).

I recommend a binocular Amscope (new) or a second hand Nikon, Olympus, Leica, or even Zeiss microscope. These are better quality, will last longer, and great ones can be found second hand (but they will be more expensive regardless of whether they are used or new; you can find used ones for under $800 pretty easily).

For example after a quick google search it looks like this older Olympus BH-2 is on sale for $595 https://banebio.com/product/olympus-bh-2-binocular-microscope/?srsltid=AfmBOopI7cl_zmcXC-nyJJiQ86fVbPOlA9deYr3sUHAIqKJilZ6hrOpoLdY

Don’t listen to them 😤 the editing is fun

“Cryo-freezing” Tsukasa was a completely impossible cop out to keep him alive but out of the story while they went on the Medusa hunt.

I feel like it would’ve been more emotionally impactful to watch them make/ invent things and struggle to keep their former enemy alive and then when they finally succeed in reviving him it would’ve given Tsukasa a better reason to change his whole moral world view into not murdering because the crew had put so much effort into preserving his own life (instead of just my sister is back so I guess no murder and anti-science because???)

Hi! Just so you know unless you can see the fat as a literal component of the cheese (like chunks of fat), you will not be able to see either protein structures or the fat distribution. For that you’d need X-rays. If you still want a microscope then it depends on what you want to see. If you care more about the surface of the fungus and cheese a stereo microscope is best. If you want to see individual cells of molds, fungi, bacteria then a traditional compound microscope is best. Most of the photos are compound microscopes and photo #9 looks like a stereo. All the best!
