From my Tiny Worlds Collection. This is not an AI created image. The pattern is totally random and interpreted by me, the photographer, and are naturally occurring crystals derived from the dried urine of a Sand Cat (an African wild cat). The crystals are colorless and do not develop until the urine starts to dry. When placed under a microscope and subjected to a special polarized light (Nomarski Illumination) the colors appear. Variations in the thickness of the crystals varies the color.
The crystals are microscopic and are composed of salts containing urates in the form of uric acid.
There is a lot to see in the unseen microscopic world. If one doesn't look, one won't find it.
A photomicrograph of naturally occurring crystals derived from the urine of a Dwarf Mongoose. This is not an AI generated image. Microscopic colorless crystals become colorized through the use of a special polarizing technique called Nomarski Illumination. This image is about 250 microns wide. The crystals are composed of various salts excreted through the kidneys: uric acid, calcium, sodium, potassium, and chloride plus other organic waste. In my Tiny Worlds collection"
A couple of days ago I posted a photo of Sundew, with its characteristic insect-catching 'glues'. Here's another way Carnivorous Plants catch their prey; more movement to this one! The end the leaves of Venus Fly Trap are two-lobed Bandersnatchy, fanged traps. Insects are lured by nectar-like secretions on the inside surface of those traps, smooth but for some very small trigger-hairs. When an insect touches two of these hairs within a few seconds, the trap snaps shut, thus capturing it. The more an insect struggles, the more digestive dissolvers are released by our plant. In its struggles, an insect is likely to secrete uric acid (a bit like humans pissing their pants out of fear or shock), and that only quickens the plant's process of digestion (something discovered by that fabulously versatile naturalist Charles Darwin in the mid-1870s). After a week or so, the trap will open to let the wind blow away the insect's now dry-sucked remains... Meanwhile, the plant will have gleaned essential nutrients such as phosphorous and nitrogen, absent from the soil of its habitat but necessary for Fly Trap's life.
The right inset shows a Venus Fly Trap Flower, the left some traps with an insect - at least partly digested - in one of them. The stalks in the middle are the flower stems which tower high above the lowly fangs.
The English name is a direct translation of the Latin scientific moniker.
The Turkey Vulture is recognized as one of North America’s largest birds of prey and one of the most common vultures in America.
There are two families of vultures, old world vultures; part of the Accepitridae family that includes Eagles, Kites Buzzards and Hawks, and new world vultures, part of the family Catharitdae that includes the Turkey Vulture, the
Black vulture, the California Condor, the Andean Condor, the King vulture and Storks.
There are substantial differences between old world vultures and new world vultures.
The Turkey Vulture is a gentle and non aggressive bird that is often seen standing with its wings spread in a “horaltic pose” usually drying its wings, warming its body or baking off bacteria.
Like Storks, the Turkey Vulture defecates on its own legs using evaporation of the water in the feces and urine to cool itself down. They excrete a high concentration of uric acid that acts as a sanitizer that kills any bacterial it picks up while getting its food.
The Turkey Vulture gets its name because of its red bald head that resembles the male wild Turkey. The female is slightly larger than the male.
This one was at Three Lakes Wildlife Management Area in Osceola County, Florida, patiently waiting for me to go about my business so it could consume the long dead fish that lay just a few feet from where it was perched.
Compensated polarized light microscopy. This case has the most crystals I have ever seen in a joint fluid specimen.
Uric acid crystals examined microscopicallly with polarized light. The polarizer is oriented perpendicular in the left side of the frame and horizontal in the right side.
400X, compensated polarized microscopy. Note that the vertically oriented crystal is yellow, while the horizontal ones are blue. This phenomenon is called "negative birefringence." Depending on the orientation of your polarizers and compensator, the colors may be reversed. This is why it's a good idea to keep a known urate control at hand. For that I use a tissue section of a gouty tophus, processed anhydrously, which is packed with the needle-like urate crystals.
67 year old male; knee joint fluid with 81,600 neutrophils per microliter.
400X, compensated polarized microscopy
Squash prep of pasty white material that exuded from foot wound. Compensated polarized light microscopy.
In this case, the podiatrist first sent a biopsy of the wound in formalin, with no history. Of course, the urates dissolved in processing, and the biopsy was nondiagnostic. So, I suggested she just pick up some of the goo, and we could smear it on the slide. Voila! Gout!
Note that the color of the needle-like crystals depends on how they are oriented in respect to the axis of polarization.
A Great Blue Heron left its calling card on our dock recently. This tell-tale dropping was the first evidence that they had returned to our lake. To give you some idea of size, these boards are 5.5 inches (14.0 cm) wide.
Deposition of large amounts of monosodium urate in periarticular tissues may result in the formation of nodular, mass lesions called tophi.

Deposition of monosodium urate crystals in and around joints, and sometimes skin and soft tissues, underlies the clinical condition known as gout. The presence of these crystals in tissue results in a severe inflammatory reaction dominated by foreign body giant cells and histiocytes forming a type of foreign body granuloma surrounding the aggregates of crystals.
The uric acid crystals require water-free processing because the crystals are water soluble and disappear with formalin fixation. In properly fixed tissue the crystals are needle-shaped. In formalin fixed tissue the needle shaped crystals are often washed away.

Nah... Tabitha wanted to sit on my lap.
You can see here that a (New World) vulture's foot is much like a chickens. Because of this, they cannot perch/grab like other birds of prey, rather, they can only stand atop branches, fence posts, (or knees, lol), etc. that are wide enough to accommodate their feet. They also do not puncture/tear/kill things with their feet. The foot is primarily used to hold stationary non-living food still, while the beak is the bird's tearing/ripping tool.
A few useful items if you have gout. Would also add lots of fresh water, apples and pineapples and various traditional vegetables, herbs and spices.
Colchicine is a drug used to treat gout (inflamed joints caused by a buildup of uric acid). It comes from the crocus plant Colchicum autumnale. Colchicine blocks cell division and the movement of certain immune cells to areas that are inflamed. It is a type of alkaloid and a type of mitotic inhibitor. Its chemical formula C22H25NO6.

Mama Vega*s Pineapple Papaya Marinade unique blend of fruit and spices tenderizes beef and pork. The spices added assist with the digestion of the meats and may reduce the effects of uric acids gout forming properties
Here's a tractor! I thought this diorama was the best looking of the bunch as far as the photo is concerned. It's hard to find the wall, the DoF is nice, and all in all, looks kinda nice!
I *<3* dioramas!

This is one of the many forms that uric acid crystals can take in urinary cytology, this is the dihydrate form. In the upper right photo we can see its size in comparison with urinary cells and on the left its birefringence with polarization. The lower photos are an enlargement for more details.
