To date, Ms. Browner has refused to identify the sample delivered to her by certified mail, and to disclose those results to the American public. A visual analysis has now been conducted with a professional quality microscope on May 7 2000 that reveals the important discovery above. More information and images from this analysis will be presented in the future. Depicted above is one of two remarkable discoveries of clustered red blood cells which become readily visible after being subjected to immersion oil. The cells appear to be of a freeze-dried or dessicated nature in their original form within the microscopic fibers. Isolated and individual blood cells are interspersed throughout both of the samples which have previously been described. The surface of the cells appear to be modified in some way, but electron microscopy will likely be required to establish further detail. Professional medical analysis of the images and chemical analysis of the fibers, and the subsequent disclosure of those results, now exists as a fundamental need.</B></P> <P ALIGN="CENTER"><B>The individual that provided the images herein and those that will follow shall remain anonymous.

The<BR> antigenic sites or structures on the surface of a cell are the parts of the cell or<BR> micro organism ( infection) our immune system codes to.

I believe your<BR> interpretation of the photomicrograph in question is<BR> inaccurate. Your post s excerpts in  quotes , my<BR> comments in [brackets].<BR> <BR>  Biological components have now been identified in the<BR> two ground samples previously analyzed on<BR> www.carnicom.com. <BR> <BR> [The fact that the subjects evaluated are  ground<BR> samples sends up a red flag.  Ground samples could<BR> be samples that are not from aircraft, or, if they are,<BR> could be contaminated by foreign matter. Note that I<BR> am not saying they AREN T from aircraft or ARE<BR> contaminated, but that they COULD be. In other<BR> words, they were not collected  in situ , that is,<BR> collected in the air from the contrail itself.]<BR> <BR>  An [sic] visual analysis has now been conducted with<BR> a professional quality microscope on May 7 2000.... <BR> <BR> [I am not sure what kind of professional microscope<BR> was used, but it appears to me that, based on the<BR> apparent size of the erythrocytes (red blood cells) that<BR> the photomicrograph was taken at between 900X and<BR> 1200X. This is borne out by your later statement<BR>  readily visible after being subjected to immersion oil .]<BR> <BR> [However, another inconsistency here is that<BR> immersion oil is not used to provide additional detail to<BR> erythrocytes. Instead, it is used to maintain the same<BR> refractive index between the subject matter and the<BR> objective lens. At the extremely close gap between<BR> objective and subject with a high-power oil immersion<BR> lens, an air gap would cause severe diffraction<BR> problems -- thus distorting the view -- even with an<BR> fluorite or apochromatic lens.]<BR> <BR> [To my experience (and I am not a professional<BR> microscopist), there is nothing that will increase the<BR>  visibility of an erythrocyte. Safranin, methylene blue,<BR> Gram s, and Gentian Violet stains work wonders, but<BR> only on leukocytes and leukoblasts (white blood cells)<BR> -- and I did not see any of them in that picture.]<BR> <BR> [But there is a more serious problem. We know that<BR> the microscope used was a optical and not an electron<BR> microscope -- else, there would be no mention of<BR> immersion oil (an electron microscope works by<BR> completely different principles). We also know that an<BR> oil immersion lens has a focal length of less than 0.5<BR> mm, which gives a depth-of-focus (or depth-of-field)<BR> in the range of microns. This means that, at the<BR> magnifications involved, you would have almost no<BR> depth perception, and would not be able to maintain<BR> focus past the depth of a single erythrocyte<BR> thickness.]<BR> <BR> [Yet we can see in the picture that there are several<BR> layers of erythrocytes, and all are in focus! There is no<BR> way I know of (with an optical microscope) to have<BR> that depth of focus. Also, you can see from the<BR> photomicrographed (especially if enhanced by a<BR> program like Corel Photo-Print or Adobe Photoshop)<BR> that there is no fall-off in the clarity and focus of the<BR> objects.]<BR> <BR> [Further, an examination of the photomicrograph, as<BR> well as the shadows in the erythrocyte indentations,<BR> shows that they appear to be top-lighted at an oblique<BR> angle. This is patently impossible with an oil-immersion<BR> lens -- it is designed for a light source from either an<BR> Abbe or dark-field substage condenser ONLY.]<BR> <BR> [This leads me to believe that the photomicrograph<BR> was made with a methodology that takes advantage of<BR> a technology with which I am not familiar -- or it is<BR> faked.]<BR> <BR>  The cells appear to be of a freeze-dried or dessicated<BR> nature in their original form within the microscopic<BR> fibers. Isolated and individual blood cells are<BR> interspersed throughout both of the samples that have<BR> previously been described. The surface of the cells<BR> appear to be modified in some way, but electron<BR> microscopy will likely be required to establish further<BR> detail. <BR> <BR> [Based on my limited expertise, I will agree with the<BR> above paragraph to an extent. The erythrocytes<BR> certainly do not exhibit the isotonicity that cells in<BR> fresh blood do, but that s what happens when blood<BR> dries anyway. I don t see any evidence for either<BR> freeze-drying or induced dessication, but, like Mr.<BR> Carnicom says,  electron microscopy will likely be<BR> required to establish further detail. ]<BR> <BR>  Professional medical analysis of the images and<BR> chemical analysis of the fibers, and the subsequent<BR> disclosure of those results, now exists as a<BR> fundamental need. <BR> <BR> [Absolutely! I have told you in previous<BR> communications that the only thing that will take the<BR> entire chemtrail/contrail business out of the realm of<BR> conspiracy-mongering is for:<BR> <BR> (1) Contrail residue to be collected while airborne and<BR> tied to the contrails;<BR> <BR> (2) A reputable laboratory to perform the analysis<BR> under strict laboratory methodologies;<BR> <BR> (3) The entire analysis, results, and corresponding<BR> data to be published for both lay and peer review. <BR> <BR>  The ramifications of this recent discovery establish<BR> sufficient cause for widespread involvement of the<BR> American people in this issue, and for subsequent<BR> Congressional hearings. <BR> <BR> [I disagree. Until we have some serious evidence,<BR> uncontaminated test material, a recognized laboratory<BR> working from valid data, and full disclosure of any<BR> reports (whether they agree with a chemtrail agenda<BR> or not), there is NO sufficient cause for widespread<BR> ANYTHING, and CERTAINLY not for us to spend more<BR> money to send those Bozos in the Congress out on a<BR> tail-chasing exercise.]<BR> <BR> [If chemtrails are to be taken seriously, its proponents<BR> must take them seriously themselves, and replace<BR> hysteria, innuendo, gossip, and conspiracy with<BR> evidence, data, and facts.]<BR> <BR>  The individual that provided the images herein and<BR> those that will follow shall remain anonymous. <BR> <BR> [That costs him his credibility.]<BR> <BR> [Mr. Carnicom, I am one hundred percent convinced<BR> that you are an honest person, but your trust of<BR> people like this will only hurt your own credibility and<BR> give the anti-conspiracy folk more ammunition that<BR> chemtrail believers are all nuts (which I am sure is not<BR> the case). I implore you, for the sake of these people<BR> in this forum if no one else, to provide us with real<BR> evidence if such is available.]<BR> <BR> Regards,<BR> <BR> Duncan Kunz / duncan.kunz@prodigy.net</B></FONT></P> <P><FONT SIZE="5"><B>A STATEMENT FROM THE SOURCE:</B></FONT></P> <P><FONT COLOR="#990066"><B>Blood Sample Photomicrograph Questioned<BR> <BR> The microscope was a darkfield. The immersion oil was<BR> used directly on the sample to reconstitute the dried<BR> cells. No immersion oil was in a traditional sense except<BR> under the slide to couple the slide to the condensor.<BR> At first water was added to the sample for<BR> observation, but all that showed was the fibers in situ.<BR> The cells in the sample only reconstitute in certain<BR> types of oil. A light machine oil similar to 3 in One oil<BR> was tried with limited success. Also tried was WD 40,<BR> (which was worthless ) and kerosene. The kerosene<BR> did seem to reconstitute the cells, but quickly<BR> bleached them of color. There is a rather sticky<BR> adherent matrix that the fibers are encased in. This<BR> includes the odd blue fiber.<BR> <BR> Nearly all the videomicroscopy was done with no more<BR> than a 40X dry objective. A 4X optical coupler is<BR> connected to the video camera. There exists some<BR> portions of the tape that shows individual blood cells<BR> quite clearly. What cannot be seen clearly in the<BR> capture is that this collection of cells is actually<BR> arranged in nice rows. Further, these cells are not fully<BR> reconstituted and are much smaller than their true<BR> size. <BR> <BR> There are not as many WBC's in the sample , but they<BR> certainly do exist. They do not reconstitute well , but<BR> their appearance is unmistakable. Also present are a<BR> least three other types of as yet unidentified cells.<BR> Some with very clearly defined nuclei. <BR> <BR> We tried to get a clear picture of the cells in that large<BR> accumulation Clifford posted using the 100X objective,<BR> but were unsuccessful. It was the lack of light passing<BR> through the specimen that limited our ability and not<BR> the actual depth of field. Above 40X, darkfield<BR> objectives must either have a funnel stop or internal<BR> iris. This cuts down on the light dramatically. There are<BR> a few 100X examinations of the material on the video<BR> tape that show individual cells with dramatic clarity.<BR> <BR> In spite of the fact that this was collected from the<BR> ground, and in one case off a car that had driven 1000<BR> miles, the sample was sterile! No bacteria , mold or<BR> fungus was found. There was of course some dirt, and<BR> other contaminants in the sample along with some<BR> spores. I do consider the spores to be contaminants<BR> and not part of the original mix.<BR> <BR> Two separate samples from different parts of the<BR> United States, dropped on different days, were<BR> examined. Both were identical. One of the samples had<BR> considerably more blood cells, and cells of all types, in<BR> it than the other.<BR> <BR> FWIW - there is a method I've discovered to enhance<BR> resolution and contrast in any microscope by at least<BR> 20 %. It has to do with preparation of the slide itself.<BR> This method was used to prepare all the slides that<BR> were examined.<BR> <BR> I hope Clifford posts more captures off the tapes that<BR> he has. Just let me say your jaw will drop when you<BR> see some of what is in that material. My posting this<BR> has more to do with revealing how the cells were<BR> found, than answering your post. It is important that<BR> confirmation can be made by others independent of<BR> me.</B></FONT></P> <P><FONT COLOR="#000000"><B>[</B></FONT><FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#000000"><I><B>Editors Note: Additional Photographs Posted May 15 2000;<BR> more to follow</B></I></FONT><FONT COLOR="#000000"><B>]<BR> </B></FONT><FONT COLOR="#990066"><B><BR> I won't get into all the physiologic possiblities that<BR> inhaling blood, or other cells might produce. I'll just say<BR> for starters that let's hope this is type &quot;O&quot; blood. <BR> <BR> 338glo</B></FONT></P> <P><FONT COLOR="#000000"><B>The following email and subsequent post on the message board was received on June 10 2000:</B></FONT></P> <P><FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#000000"><B>Hello.<BR> <BR> I wish to make a comment on some of the areas discussed, especially<BR> by a certain 338glo. Firstly, fixatives such as Bouins are not used to keep, <BR> &quot;antigenic structures intact.&quot; Fixation causes cross linking of<BR> macromolecules which arrests biological activity, at the same time<BR> rendering the cells amenable to staining. It's purpose is to<BR> preserve cell ultrastructure to be stained and viewed by light<BR> microscopy, usually by a pathologist, to help diagnos disease.<BR> In other words, 338glo's implications that your samples might provoke an<BR> immune response is a grossly misleading exaggeration, not to mention<BR> impossible. You will not initiate an immune response to anything that<BR> has been fixed.<BR> By the way:<BR> <BR> 1)picric acid- is a yellow crystalline substance that is explosive only<BR> when dry and subject to a shock of some kind, such as a blow from a <BR> hammer(not an electric shock). It's used to precipitate<BR> (separate from solution) proteins, and as a dye.<BR> 2)Glacial acetic acid-is just a highly(almost pure) form of acetic acid,<BR> and highly reactive organic acid. %5 is good on your french fries, <BR> 99% will burn out all of your mucous membranes. This substance <BR> is used in many laboratory tests.<BR> 3)Formaldehyde-another fixative that hardens tissue, and preserves it<BR> for histological examination(staining).<BR> <BR> Kunz's comment about immersion oil is correct. If you want to<BR> reconstitute the cells, try using isotonic saline(approx %0.95 salt in<BR> water). No oil of any kind is going to help you there. You will not<BR> see anything but large structural changes by light microscopy anyway.<BR> You will not be able to judge anything about surface antigens, which, by<BR> the way, were destroyed by the fixation process. That cluster of red<BR> cells looks to be viewed at about x1000. There only appears to be one<BR> fairly visible layer of red cells, if that's what they are, and not all<BR> of them are in focus. It is impossible to comment on the light source,<BR> but you can view objects under a microscope with light comming from<BR> another source other than the bulb/condenser. As long as it reflects<BR> off the object viewed, travels up the objective to the eye piece, and is<BR> bright enough to see, you will see it. It is also impossible to tell if<BR> the cells(?) were freeze-dessicated or whatever. Cellular specimens can<BR> be frozen, if done correctly, and have their structures preserved; this <BR> statement is nonsense. Also, adding just water(a hypotonic solution) <BR> to those cells won't help you much either, and will only alter their <BR> structure more if they are at all able to be reconstituted(unlikely).</B></FONT></P> <P><FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#000000"><B>It is mentioned later that the sample is sterile, BUT it contains<BR> some spores. Do you know what spores are? They're<BR> a reproductive cell produced by plants and some protozoons. Certain<BR> bacteria(ie: antrax bacilli) also form spores, but<BR> for environmental protection, not reproduction. Another tidbit for<BR> you-type &quot;O&quot; blood accounts for almost half the population,<BR> and is compatible with the other major blood groups, A, B, and AB.<BR> That's why group &quot;O&quot; is called the universal donor, with<BR> AB being the universal recipient. Inhaling dry blood might make you<BR> cough, but otherwise will do nothing, let alone<BR> initiate an immune response.</B></FONT></P> <P><FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#000000"><B>This type of fear mongering does nothing but stimulate unfound<BR> paranoia. Please have people that know what they're talking<BR> about review samples of any significance, or you'll never be received as<BR> credible. There's something going on here, and this type of nonsense<BR> isn't helping anyone find out what it is. I also doubt this sample came<BR> from where you think it did.

The deciding factor<BR> in initiating an immune response is that something<BR> foreign has come into contact with the interior of the<BR> body, or the external mucous membranes of the body.<BR> This could be a piece of wood, dirt, metal, mold,<BR> bacteria, viruses, pollen, chemicals, or cellular tissue<BR> for example. <BR> <BR> Many people have seasonal allergic responses to<BR> pollens, grasses, molds, and so on. Some people have<BR> inhallation type allergies that will initiate asthmatic<BR> bronchospasms that can be life threatening. Some of<BR> the recent postings regarding eye, throat, and lung<BR> irritation following spraying are typical of an immune<BR> system response. Foreign blood cells of the wrong type<BR> will cause an immune system response. If the outer<BR> membrane of the cell has been changed in some<BR> manner this will cause an immune system response. <BR> <BR> Foreign cellular tissue will cause a dramatic immune<BR> system response. Transfuse the wrong blood type,<BR> implant a new organ, and your immune system will<BR> immediately go to work, clot the blood,and reject the<BR> organ. <BR> <BR> I mentioned Bouin's fix as merely an example of a<BR> known fixative agent that will preserve antigenic sites<BR> on blood cells. The ingredients in the mixture are all<BR> toxic, some are known carcinogens and one when dried<BR> is explosive. This is a place to start analysis of the<BR> material. Samples of this stringy , sticky material have<BR> been collected by people across the US. There are<BR> reports of physical contact causing people to become<BR> ill and thier skin to be burned. Some of ingredients in<BR> Bouin's fix could easily cause such symptoms.<BR> Here is the EPA haz mat paper on Bouin's fix.<BR> <BR> <BR> www.mastertechs.com/msds/...FXBOU2.TXT<BR> C. FIRST AID (EMERGENCY PROCEDURES)<BR> <BR> 1. EYE CONTACT: Remove contact lenses if necessary,<BR> and immediately flush<BR> eyes with copious amounts of water.

SKIN CONTACT: Immediately wash contaminated<BR> area thoroughly with<BR> mild soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing if<BR> necessary.<BR> <BR> 3. INHALATION: Remove to fresh air. If symptoms<BR> persist, seek medical<BR> attention.<BR> <BR> At the moment of course there is no proof that the<BR> cells in the sample have been treated with any fixative<BR> agent. Nor is there any proof that any of the<BR> ingredients in Bouins fix are in the sample. This needs<BR> to be determined.
