Macro Monday: Periodic table - zinc.
Galvanising is the process of dipping iron and steel into molten zinc to give the base metal corrosion resistance. The crystalites seen here are known as "Spangle" and their size is determined by the rate of cooling of the molten zinc.
first printing of Helium for the Periodic Table project. I'm not happy with all the white space, so I think I'll do a very pale solid blue background layer, then put pale grey clouds and a bright red balloon. Might also try to paint a bit of yellow or orange onto the sun to make it more firey. Lots to try anyway.

This is part of a beautiful copper fountain that my husband bought me for our 9th wedding anniversary. This is part of the lily flower ( i had Lily's in my bouquet). I love all the different colours and the lines you can see where the maker has worked the copper into shape.
HMM to one and all and always appreciate your comments, favourites and views.
Cobalt is a chemical element with the symbol Co and atomic number 27.
Cobalt-based blue pigment (Cobalt blue) has been used for centuries to color ceramics, glass, and jewellery.

Si (14 Silicon) : "Because silicon is an important element in high-technology semiconductor devices, many places in the world bear its name. For example, Santa Clara Valley in California acquired the nickname Silicon Valley since the element is the base material used in the semiconductor industry located there." (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicon)
Ag (47 Silver) : "Its compounds are used in photographic film and X-rays. Dilute silver nitrate solutions and other silver compounds are used as disinfectants and microbiocides (oligodynamic effect), added to bandages and wound-dressings, catheters and other medical instruments." (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silver)
Br (35 Bromine) : "Bromine compounds are still used in well drilling fluids, in photographic film, and as an intermediate in the manufacture of organic chemicals." (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bromine)
The photographic technique involves the following steps:
1) Preparation of sensitive plate or film
It is an emulsion of AgBr in gelatin uniformly coated on a glass plate or a celluloid sheet (film) in a dark room.The process is done in dark because AgBr is highly light sensitive.
2) Exposure
The sensitive plate or film is mounted on a camera and exposed for a few seconds to the image of a properly focused object. An invisible change occurs in that part of the emulsion on which light falls.The chemical reaction is that light reduces AgBr to Ag.
Br- + photon -------> electron + Br
Ag+ + electron -------> Ag
An image of the object is formed on the film which is not visible and therefore called latent image.

Glow sticks are a beautiful display of Chemiluminescence. There is a dye and diphenyl oxalate (C14H10O4) in the plastic tube and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) encased in an inner glass tube. When you break the glass the two mix and cause a chemical reaction that produces energy mostly as light with very little heat. Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen. (Macro Monday's Theme: Periodic Table)
What a happy coincidence! I bought these glow-in-the-dark pebbles for a mosaic I have planned for our front courtyard and out of curiosity had a look at the Tech Data sheet to see why they glowed. Doped Europium was the reason. (Doped I think meaning that impurities have been added).
According to the brilliant periodic table website we were directed to, green and aqua are europium doped strontium aluminate, the brightest of all the modern phosphorescent powders, blue is an alkali earth silicate, while red and orange are older, noticeably less bright zinc sulfides.
I feel like I took the easy route with aluminum, but the photo I ended up with made me too happy to worry. It also inspired a little short story - micro really: bellhops.wordpress.com2016/07/03/a-new-sculpture-for-the-...
Macro Mondays: The Periodic Table
Titanium is a chemical element with symbol Ti and atomic number 22. It is a lustrous transition metal with a silver colour, low density and high strength. It is highly resistant to corrosion in sea water, aqua regia, and chlorine.
Titanium was discovered in Cornwall, Great Britain, by William Gregor in 1791 and named by Martin Heinrich Klaproth for the Titans of Greek mythology.
The element occurs within a number of mineral deposits, principally rutile and ilmenite, which are widely distributed in the Earth's crust and lithosphere, and it is found in almost all living things, rocks, water bodies, and soils.
The metal is extracted from its principal mineral ores by the Kroll and Hunter processes.
The most common compound, titanium dioxide, is a popular photocatalyst and is used in the manufacture of white pigments. Other compounds include titanium tetrachloride (TiCl4), a component of smoke screens and catalysts; and titanium trichloride (TiCl3), which is used as a catalyst in the production of polypropylene.
This example is my titanium Breitling watch.
This watch has had nearly 15 years of continuous wear - even titanium is showing the signs when seen at macro.
This is an old Cu (Copper) tub that we use outside as a planter. We bought it from an antique shop about 40 years ago - it's pretty indestructible- it stays out all year.

Cadmium is number 48 on the periodic table and its symbol is Cd. It is a soft, bluish-white transition metal and is relatively rare. It is a common impurity in zinc and is most often isolated during the product of that element. Cadmium is used to produce pigments for paint and plastics.
This is a two color linocut print . The blocks were printed with oil based inks on a Vandercook proof press. The Vandercook has an automatic inking system where ink is distributed over the blocks/plates for you, but because of the limited run I inked the blocks by hand with a brayer before each pass of the press.

Some thoughts...
We have billions of planets in the Milky Way galaxy (our galaxy), likely over 100 billions. In our solar system, there are eight planets and five dwarf planets. Each of them is very different. Saturn looks very beautiful with its rings so that we can expect some planets are very beautiful in our universe.
Some of them might harbour aliens. When we look at the elements of the periodic table, there are a limited number of elements. When we look at the number of planets in our universe, it will show almost an unlimited number. It is logical to conclude that the limited number of the elements can easily come together on some of the planets to create chemical reactions. Not all the elements of the periodic table take part to create a life form, participating just a few elements.
There is a very high probability that the needed elements (just a limited number) could come together to build a life form on some of the planets (almost an unlimited number). If the number of the needed elements were very high and the number of planets very low, we would say that it would be not possible these elements come together again to form a life form as they did before to create us.
The first 94 elements of the periodic table are found in the nature. There are 119 elements on the table. The building blocks of life are carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, and sulphur. These elements are common in the universe.
Well, there is a very high probability that the aliens exist. Why don’t we see them? One answer would be that we are not enough developed, we can't control our feelings and emotions and kill each other. If they can come to us, it might mean that they are very advanced in compare to us, and they should be smart enough not to land on earth.

It's possible to make something of one's self in simply allowing yourself to be usable. Like a lump of coal, you can be satisfied to be recognized for what you are on the surface, and used for the benefit of others, likely to be destroyed in the process. Or, should you choose to undergo the intense pressure of bettering yourself, you may find your talents are multifaceted, and that the beauty of what you have to offer the world changes depending on how you're viewed.
ODC-Motown
I decided to incorporate the Periodic Table with today's challenge. Where the pink circles are represents "Rare Earth" minerals. Here is a little something about the Motown "Rare Earth":
In search of rock cred at the end of the Sixties, Motown started a subsidiary label, Rare Earth, named after one of its first signings, a Detroit band. Not much became of the imprint, which closed up shop by the mid-Seventies. But as heard on its most enduring single, the all-white Rare Earth turned out to be a decent fit for Berry Gordy’s posse. An ode to staying positive during difficult times — a very vogue-ish song subject matter during the Vietnam era — “I Just Want to Celebrate” fused a beefy funk groove, a wild rock-style wah-wah guitar solo, and a midsong breakdown. In the best Motown tradition, “I Just Want to Celebrate” transcended genres. —D.B.

My entry for the Macro Monday Printed Word theme.
This is a small part of my eccentric Victorian Inventor and Explorer tableaux set in a printers tray.
This book was a £1 charity shop find that took my fancy. Only later did I have a proper look through it. The book is really good; every household should have a copy. There's an introduction to the basics of the periodic table and a double-page spread of the full table. Then each of the first 100 elements gets a two-page spread including an attractive photo. I couldn't get very interested in chemistry at school, so I'm not particularly knowledgeable, but I think that this is a really elegant and useful addition to the library.
