I' m preparing a 400millionyearold fossil. On the other side I have a specimen that I prepared earlier. Probably taken about 40 hours to prepare. Now that sounds horrendous, but when you' re working under the microscope, two hours can disappear literally in the blink of an eye. The most frustrating thing is that you can spend two hours working under the microscope to find when you come out, you' ve only actually cleared an area about five millimetres square. Under the microscope it looks enormous. Another mission for the unit is to keep the museum' s specimens in tiptop condition. Lorraine Cornish is the museum' s longestserving conservator. We like to all think of the conservation unit as a bit of a hospital, really, where people will bring their sick specimens to be treated. With millions of specimens to care for, the work ranges from treating everyday wear and tear to more serious problems. |
