The main feature of a scyphozoan jellyfish is the umbrella-shaped bell. This is a hollow structure consisting of a mass of transparent jelly-like matter known as mesoglea, which forms the hydrostatic skeleton of the animal. 95% or more of the mesogloea consists of water, but it also contains collagen and other fibrous proteins, as well as wandering amoebocytes which can engulf debris and bacteria. The mesogloea is contained by the epidermis on the outside and the gastrodermis on the inside. The edge of the bell is often divided into rounded lobes known as lappets, which allow the bell to flex. In the niches between the lappets are sensory organs known as rhopalia, and the margin of the bell often bears tentacles.
Fabricating and spinning, the craftmanship of Pewtersmithing. Royal Selangor is Malaysia's, if not the world's, leading name in pewter products. Pewter is an alloy made up of tin, copper and antimony. Tin is well known for its resistance to corrosion. Copper is a malleable metal which makes it easy to work while antimony is added to provide strength.
Malaysia was once a leading producer of tin but nowadays the company's raw materials are imported. The exhibits include a scale model and photo of one of the huge tin dredges which used to be commonplace in Malaysia.
Modern pewter is entirely food-safe, unlike the earlier version which used to contain lead.
