Filtering water samples


Filtering water samples
Originally uploaded by botanize
At the bottom of this picture you can see the top of a flask, with a rubber stopper and a brown plastic funnel on top of that. The flask has a nozzle on the side that I use to vacuum water through a filter in the brown nozzle. The filter blocks anything larger than 0.7µm, smaller than a typical bacterium, and about the same size as the wavelength of red light. Small!
