Through the Microscope: San Pedro & MHRB

[adorno]

I have been meaning to share these photographs with the Nexus. They are photographs of San Pedro and MHRB powder taken through a microscope. I'm not sure either how beautiful or informative they are, however, I was surprised to see just how much this organic material (having been treated with only some slightly basic water) explodes with crystalline alkaloids. The photos also shed some light on the relative difficulty of San Pedro over MHRB extractions, that is, through emphasizing something anyone who has done a San Pedro extraction already knows anyways, the thick gloop is there along with the alkaloids en force! I have a 2500X microscope (with darkfield and phase contrast capabilities) available to you all, and so, if there is ever anything in particular you think could be interesting or beautiful for us to have a look at, please let me know on this thread and I'll get the photos up as soon as I can. Phalaris grass is interesting, and so perhaps I'll get some photos of that up here sometime soon, maybe even some time lapse videos. Enjoy... (I also have the images at full-res 24mp should anyone prefer those instead).

Thanks Iracema, and please remember too, if there is anything you'd like to see through the microscope, please be sure and let me know.
