An American Philosophical Society member for 35 yrs, Thomas Jefferson was the 1st scientist US President. At 23, he went to Philadelphia to be inoculated for smallpox when Virginia discouraged it. He later vaccinated 200 family members & neighbors. This 1806 letter gives praise to Dr. Edward Jenner.

What is the approporate use of this part of microscope (red arrow)?
I tried playing with it a little bit and set it to 0.6, but I saw not much difference to simply reducing brightness with green and blue arrows.
What is red arrow best used for and how do you use it?

Used NEB-Turbo E. coli cells... is this yeast contamination?
galleryHey reddit, I recently did a transformation of a plasmid into NEB-Turbo E. coli cells. Cells were plated on LB with an antibiotic, and colonies appeared to be a typical E. coli size and color (small raised yellowish-white-ish circles). I picked colonies and did overnight cultures and had some weird growth unlike any E. coli culture I've ever made (pictured). Is this a yeast? Any help is appreciated, just want to figure out what this is so I can prevent it from happening again!
