Indeed I can. The smaller version on the thread is approximately 1.5x magnification, and the larger version is approximately 5x magnification. As for the composition, I was afraid you would ask that - it's a regular witches brew ;)

Here's a brief (paraphrased) description of its qualities and major constituent compounds:

Consistency: soft to brittle
Specific gravity: 0.95
Melting point: ~140° F (60° C)
Main constituent compounds:

CH3(CH2)24COOH
CH3(CH2)14COO(CH2)12CH3
CH3(CH2)29OH
CH3(CH2)29CH3

...plus a host of minor compounds. Insoluble in water, soluble in CCl4, CHCl3, and (warm) diethyl ether.

As always, feel free to request assistance from anyone you like - especially if the chemistry of the composition seems a bit forbidding ;)

I seem to have mistyped the link for picture #10. It links to #390 instead of #399. Fortunately it's just a short hop to the actual pic.

If we get to another page of 50, I'll fix it.
