If you want to know a little bit more about me as a Photographer:
Functional many years ago, this is the laboratory of Thomas Edison which he maintained on his winter estate in Fort Myers, Florida. The tour of the Ford/Edison Estate was an outstanding visit.
Thanks to model Richard de Grataine Suoh aka richardgratainesuoh, for his invaluable collaboration and great styling.
We were missing the mad scientist with the typical laboratory full of instruments. Thanks to people with this great creativity, much progress was made in the use of steam in the steampunk world.

Former largest steelworks of ex GDR, now "Industriemuseum Brandenburg an der Havel", showing the last existing Siemens-Martin melting furnace.
Power Plant Cyklon - Abandoned power plant of a former paper factory - Germany
Unfortunately the small former laboratory is totally vandalised now. All instruments and tools are gone.

A section of our back yard dubbed "the laboratory" by our children when they were 6 and 2. Faircrest Neighborhood, Madison, Wisconsin, USA, July 17, 2024
This is the Smith Interpretive Center / Greenhouse. It originally was administrative offices and laboratory/greenhouse.
Now it serves its special function as an interpretive center and a greenhouse.
"Crude masonry and rustication characterize the initial architecture at the Boyce Thompson Arboretum. The Smith Building, the arboretum’s original visitor center and administration building, designed by Thompson and built by local contractor and mason Jack Davey in 1925–1926, is sited on the canyon floor. The rustic edifice, composed of locally quarried rhyolite, originally featured lichen-covered interior walls and flagstone floors. The 6,500-square-foot space contained offices, laboratories, a library, a herbarium, a seed room, a photography studio, supply rooms, and a fireproof vault; a soft-water cistern filled the basement. Flanking the structure are two attached greenhouses that display indigenous and exotic cacti and succulents. Measuring 50 feet long and 20 feet wide, the prefabricated iron-frame and glazed structures were supplied by the Lord and Burnham Company of New York."

I haven't been here since I was a child. I consider it more of a walk rather than a hike. But it is incredibly interesting. Especially for photography. My Grandfather - Joseph Harris - was the Superintendent of Col. Thompson's Miami Inspiration Mines.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boyce_Thompson_Arboretum
Boyce Thompson Arboretum is the oldest and largest botanical garden in the state of Arizona. It is one of the oldest botanical institutions west of the Mississippi River. Founded in 1924 as a desert plant research facility and “living museum”, the arboretum is located in the Sonoran Desert on 392 acres (159 ha) along Queen Creek and beneath the towering volcanic remnant, Picketpost Mountain. Boyce Thompson Arboretum is on U.S. Highway 60, an hour's drive east from Phoenix and 3 miles (4.8 km) west of Superior, Arizona.
The arboretum was founded by William Boyce Thompson (1869-1930), a mining engineer who made his fortune in the copper mining industry. He was the founder and first president of Inspiration Consolidated Copper Company at Globe-Miami, Arizona and Magma Copper Company in Superior, Arizona. In the early 1920s, Thompson, enamored with the landscape around Superior, built a winter home overlooking Queen Creek. Also in the 1920s, as his fortunes grew, he created and financed the Boyce Thompson Institute for Plant Research in Yonkers, New York (now at Cornell University), and the Boyce Thompson Arboretum on the property of the Picket Post House, west of Superior.
Boyce Thompson wrote: “I have in mind far more than mere botanical propagation. I hope to benefit the State and the Southwest by the addition of new products. A plant collection will be assembled which will be of interest not only to the nature lover and the plant student, but which will stress the practical side, as well to see if we cannot make these mesas, hillsides, and canyons far more productive and of more benefit to mankind. We will bring together and study the plants of the desert countries, find out their uses, and make them available to the people. It is a big job, but we will build here the most beautiful, and at the same time the most useful garden of its kind in the world.”[3]

Planet Earth Vintage Architecture, PEVA,
And to think that I was always bottom of the class in Chemistry... (Math and Physics too for that matter - hhh).
The new alchemical fascilities at Syncretia. These are actually situated within a neko and furry gym that I am still working on, directly below the power plant. I have decided that I am spending way too much money on facial products. So, from this day forward I will be manufacturing my own and I will also be giving it away to my sisters (interested brothers are also highly welcome of course) in the metaverse for free. A walking, talking (not to mention writing) monument to altruism, me... hhh

Example of black asbestos-cement laboratory countertop. Often mistaken as "slate" or granite; this material demonstrates its fibrous nature at a small, localized area of damage shown in the detailed inset image. This fibrous cement material is also sometimes referred to as "Transite" (a former proprietary brand tradename by Johns-Manville).
Also found in several other colors, but black being the most common in many laboratories and workrooms inside schools, colleges, and commercial & governmental testing organizations. Not uncommon to find graffiti carved into the counter surfaces in high school settings or to find localized areas of excessive wear from long-term repetitive contact which can degrade the surface and expose the asbestos fibers.
Example of high-percentage chrysotile asbestos yarn textile material, found in a laboratory setting. Interestingly, the yarn is wound on original, asbestos millboard material.
While there are probably many uses for fireproof yarn, this asbestos textile material was apparently needed for certain laboratory experiment setups.
