Rob Kesseler: Distillation  A commission for the new Macallan Whiskey visitor centre. Concept Radiate Experience Ltd. Design Bonomini Associates. A series of changing photographic panels revealing the processes and raw materials used in the process of whiskey production. The images included micro images of soil bacillus, yeast and starch and close up sections through barley and oak from the barrels.

Lanthanum Aluminate (Top: high magnification. Bottom: low magnification) “Aluminum, oxygen, and lanthanum comprise lanthanum aluminate. Lanthanum is a rare earth metal that is silvery white in appearance and very ductile. The metal is so soft that the blade of a knife can cut it in two with relative ease. Lanthanum was discovered in the late 1830s by C. G. Mosander, but was unable to be successfully isolated until the following century in the 1920s. The name of the element was coined from the Greek lanthanein, which means “to be concealed.” The moniker reflects the substantial difficulty involved in isolating the element in a considerably pure form. Lanthanum aluminate is a member of a class of ceramics known as perovskites. Though perovskites can be found in nature, the perovskites utilized for various commercial and research purposes are generally synthesized in the laboratory. The name of this collection of ceramics stems from their similarity of structure to the mineral perovskite, which was discovered in the 1830s by the German mineralogist and crystallographer Gustav Rose in a sample obtained in the Ural Mountains. He coined the moniker of the mineral, which has the formula CaTiO3, as a tribute to Count Lev Aleksevich von Perovski, a mineralogist from Russia.”

Category: MicroscopeEstimated Date: 1750Name: Culpepper MicroscopeManufacturer: Lincoln Description: Brass, original lacquer finish, l4.25 inches high, objective cover, eyepiece protector, 3 extra objective, drawer in base, original case, slide holder for base, original ivory mounted slides, signed Lincoln in base. The invention of the microscope was one of the earliest truly revolutionary discoveries in medicine and the world in general. Microscopes progressed from simple lenses to more complex forms. Typical of the craftsmanship of the pre 20th century era, a great amount of esthetic charm was incorporated into all of the designs. The Culpepper microscope is an elegant device. It has considerable magnification capability and an attractive design. This was replaced during the 19th century with more practical devices and the invention of the binocular microscope.
