Odd "Cells" Found Within Snow Samples http://pub8.ezboard.com/fchemtrailschemtrails.showMessage?topicID=4356.topic Due to the recent disclosure of red blood cells (RBC's) being electrostatically precipitated from the atmosphere, I decided to take a look, microscopically, at some recently collected snow samples from my area. I was extremely surprised by what was seen.I want to stress that I am not trained in microbiology but sense that the "cells" that were observed are not of natural origin, as you will see, due to a multitude of random sizes, shapes and number of "nuclei" - but all composed of the same basic identical components. The following is based on 3 separate snow samples, from 2 recent storms, gathered in clean 100 ml specimen containers and promptly refrigerated. Detailed information is provided, hoping that others will try this, possibly duplicating my observations or improving on them, especially through the use of higher magnification. The stereo microscope used has crisp, high quality optics but is only equipped with lenses for a maximum magnification of 70X. This is a huge limitation yet the structures seen were crystal clear, although small and without fine detail. Before describing my findings, I will include a medical doctor's suggestions for viewing RBC's within human blood, since I am recommending that RBC's be eventually placed on the same slide used to view the water sample. (I used this method last year while examining fluorescing fibers, the RBC's alongside the fibers as a size-comparator...RBC's range in size from 5 to 7.5 microns) Doctor's Suggestions: If you dilute with saline (normal saline) the cells usually will not be visible red unless you view then with very good optics. An RBC will be the most common type of cell. An RBC will be pale in the middle and darker around the edges. you can use a pair of plain slides to make one into a smear that will air-dry to reveal evenly-spaced, single cell, layers for easy microscopic examination. place a droplet of blood at one end of the slide. take a second, clean slide and intersect the droplet at 45 degrees....the blood will wick along the intersection of the two slides. then, in an even stroke with light pressure, draw the vertical slide across the flat slide...this will smear the blood across the flat slide very evenly and thinly. let this air dry and then view it under the microscope. At 70 power you should be able to see individual RBC's but they will look very tiny. Note: Saline solution was not used in my procedure. Using a cotton swab, snow-water was smeared in the center of a slide and allowed to dry. A second slide was prepared in the same manner, except on slide 2, a droplet of human blood was mixed with the sample. Slide 2 was used to compare RBC's with "cell" nuclei, side by side. This dual process was repeated multiple times using all samples. The results were similar each time. Observations: There were typically about one dozen cell-like structures of differing relative sizes and shapes. The exterior portion of each "cell" was composed of a transparent material which revealed internal structures resembling multiple "nuclei". Some pieces of the transparent material were shaped as semicircular globs with a cluster of nuclei somewhere inside. Others were filament shaped pieces of varying length, their nuclei resembling a string of beads. One of the filaments was much longer than the others and was coiled and piled upon itself, resembling a pile of transparent string, its nuclei also like a string of beads coiling around, layer by layer. Each "nucleus" appeared to be identical but their quantities were random, ranging from ~2 to 10 within each glob, possibly dozens inside the long coiled filament. The nuclei were in three distinct colors: transparent, ruby-red and deep violet (almost black). The transparent nuclei looked identical to the RBC's in shape, color and size however, at this magnification, RBC's, as well as all nuclei, appeared to be spherical (no fine detail was discernible). The other two colors appeared to be about the same size and shape (but possibly smaller). Keep in mind that the magnified size of each RBC (or nucleus) was only about ½ millimeter (.020 in.), so almost no detail was seen. The nuclei within any given cell appeared to always be of like color. Colors were apparently never mixed within the same cell. In the glob shaped cells, the relative sizes of the two materials (nuclei-cluster and sheath) were in similar proportions seen in a single celled microorganism.
