This word âinjectââŚ
With whatâs basically a really fine turkey baster, Tibbetts slowly
dripped 50 microliters of Ce6, an extremely low dose, into Licinaâs
speculum-stretched eyes, aiming for the conjunctival sac, which carried
the chemical to the retina.
OK, yes, itâs âinjectingâ the fluid in the sense that itâs introducing it to the eye. But come on. You say âinjectâ in a context like this, and we all start picturing a needle puncturing someoneâe eyeball. All the hairs on my arms are standing on end just thinking about it.
Chlorin E6 generates cytotoxic products when exposed certain wavelengths. Cytotoxic meaning cell-killing. Itâs not going anywhere near my eyes. I like my day vision too much. Itâs like going on chemo, but not having cancer.
He can see into your soul, really.
Bullshit. In the picture, that man is âinjectingâ the liquid into the eyeball using a Gilson P50 micropipette. You canât inject liquid with a micropipette. Also, you canât even âdripâ the liquid in oneâs eyes, because: microfluidics. You would have to pipet it onto the eyeball with a very steady hand, at one or two millimeters distance. The test subject had better have his head strapped in to prevent corneal damage.
I came here to say the above. I can only agree.
May I have a unicorn chaser?
Paper referenced says they put in black sclera contacts (thatâs why that guy in the picture looks like he does) and wore sunglasses to minimize exposure to bright light until the tests at night.
But I am with you, do you want to be temporarily or permanently blinded by a flashbulb?
A unicorn chaser for something that wasnât what was shown?
Of course, the first thing that came to my mind was Farscapeâs âDNA Mad Scientistâ episode⌠and boy am I ever glad this article didnât actually have anything like that.
Inject this substance in your eyes for night vision to alienate everyone around you.
Iâve got the script. Whoâs gonna call Vin?
Personally, they lost me at âinject this substance into your eyesâ.
Ainât that the shit.
Putting some sort of oddball chemicals right into the eye? Sure, why not! What could possibly go wrong?
Unicorn chaser for the unicorn chaser, please.
You dig up a doctor, and you pay him 20 menthol Kools to do a surgical shine job on your eyeballs.
Coming right up!
