Isithombe: I-Bubbling Fermentation Lock ku-Amber-Lit Laboratory

Kulesi sigcawu saselabhorethri esivusa amadlingozi, isibukeli sidonswa endaweni yokusebenza ekhanyiswe kalufifi lapho kuhlangana khona isayensi nobuciko. Okugxilwe kuyo okumaphakathi kuwukhiye wokuvutshelwa ogwedlayo ohlezi phezu kwe-carboy enkulu yengilazi, ukunyakaza kwayo okunesigqi okuphakamisa inqubo yamakhemikhali ezinto eziphilayo eyembuleka buthule. Ilokhi, eyenziwe ngepulasitiki ebonisa ngale futhi yakhiwe ngejika le-S yakudala, igcwele ingxenye yoketshezi olucacile. Amabhamuza akhuphuka kancane kancane emakamelweni ayo, ekhanyiswa ukukhazimula kwe-amber okufudumele okwanelisa igumbi lonke. Lokhu kubhuquza okucashile kuba yisingathekiso esibonakalayo senqubekelaphambili, isineke, namandla angabonakali asebenza ngaphansi.

I-carboy ngokwayo yakhiwe ngengilazi ewugqinsi, e-amber-tinted, egcwele ingxenye yoketshezi olubuso bayo bubonakala nje engilazini enenkungu. Isivalo senjoloba esimhlophe sivala umkhumbi, sibambe isikhiye sokuvutshelwa endaweni ngokuphephile. I-carboy ayisekho maphakathi nendawo ekwakhiweni, okuvumela imfuhlumfuhlu ezungezile yamathuluzi esayensi ukuthi ifake uhlaka lwesigcawu ngokwendalo.

Kusabalele ibhentshi lokusebenzela izingcezu ezihlukahlukene zezingilazi zaselabhorethri—amabhika, amashubhu okuhlola, amasilinda athweswe iziqu—ezinye zimile, ezinye zitshekile noma azinalutho, okubonisa ukusetshenziswa kwakamuva. Isitsha sensimbi engagqwali sihlala kwesokunxele, indawo yaso ebhulashi ibamba ukukhanya okuzungezile. Ngakwesokudla, ibhodlela elincane le-amber elinentamo encane lengeza ukuthinta kwe-symmetry nokuvumelana kombala. Lezi zici, nakuba zisesibili, zifaka isandla ekulandiseni kokuhlolwa nokuxazulula izinkinga.

Emuva elilufifi, amashalofu afakwe amathuluzi engeziwe—izibonakhulu, amaflask, namabhodlela ezinto ezisetshenziswayo—asikisela indawo okuhlala kuyo ngokujulile ngokubuza nokuhlola. Ukukhanyisa, okufudumele nokuphansi, kuveza izithunzi ezithambile futhi kugqamisa amakhonsana wesikhiya sokuvutshelwa, kusenze sibonakale sicishe sibe sculptural. Ukusebenzisana kokukhanya nesithunzi kuveza isimo sokuzindla, njengokungathi umbukeli ungene enkathini yokubuka ngokuthula phakathi nobusuku obude bocwaningo.

Ukwakheka sekukonke kugxiliswe ngokuqinile, kunokujula kwenkambu engajulile ehlukanisa isikhiya sokuvutshelwa kuyilapho kuvumela isiphithiphithi esizungezile ukuba sincibilike sibe ukufiphala okuthambile. Le nqubo yokubuka iqinisa indima yokukhiya njengengqikithi yophenyo—uphawu lwakho kokubili imfihlakalo nendlela. Isithombe asithwebuli nje inqubo yesayensi, kodwa ukuthungwa kwemizwelo yokuxazulula izinkinga: ukushuba kwesimo esithulile, ithemba lemiphumela, nobuhle benqubekelaphambili ekhulayo.
