I was a scientist until I got too sick to work. This is my little portable kitchen lab at home! I use it to make slides of stained bacteria, fungus and blood cells. Hoping to add more supplies and equipment to my collection over time. I even used to have a centrifuge too, but threw it away because it was too poor quality to be useful. Right now I'm working on making a gram stain, I'll post pics of the bacteria under the microscope when it's done!

Interesting... what is your research field out of curiosity? You have my prayers for a recovery. Worked from home and had a lab too. Telecom... boring lol.
@angoranimi Ahh okay. I read you were a scientist and given your setup there I assumed medicine... immunology, perhaps. Very impressive for someone in your age group. :)
@rfatoday yes it does involve medicine like immunology. Hospital lab is blood banking, microbiology, chemistry, immunology, coagulation, urinalysis, things like that. It's where the tests are performed that doctors order, what they do with the blood and pee samples, swabs, and all that. So not research, it's practice. And thanks! It's just a bachelor degree level scientist job though nothing too over the top
@angoranimi Got it. Well, awesome and although I am a retired engineer, I do have medical experience and that was my first love. Hey, a BS is not bad and gets you in the door. :) Good luck with your lab and thanks for the info.
@angoranimi Well, organic chemistry was not my forte and is something you had to make it through so... you have fund your niche. Great field and I respect anyone who can identify those teeny tiny critters.
