The film begins where
the figure ends.
A moving air–liquid interface injured cultured lung cells. An embedding preparation failed before I could make an interpretable tissue section. Years earlier, I brought a microscope home from Cairo. The films return to these experiments, the people around them and the questions they left behind.
تبدأ الحكاية أحيانًا حيث تنتهي الصورة العلمية المنشورة. في أحد التجارب أصابت واجهة متحركة بين الهواء والسائل خلايا رئوية مزروعة. وفي أخرى تعثّر تحضير مقطع نسيجي قابل للفحص. وبين هذه المشاهد مجهر أحضرته من القاهرة وأسئلة لم تنتهِ بانتهاء التجربة.
01 / released documentaries
What survives the experiment.
The opening film begins in a school anatomy room and follows the experiments that drew me from chemistry into living systems and inhaled medicines.
Released · two-minute documentary
What Survives the Experiment
From school anatomy and a microscope carried from Cairo to unsuccessful polymers, developing vessels, injured lung cells and the challenge of inhaled medicines.

Two Materials. No Section.
I tried to embed zebrafish specimens for histological sectioning, but the agarose and paraffin separated during processing. The attempt yielded no interpretable tissue section. Three photographs from the preparation anchor the film.

The Microscope I Brought from Cairo
I bought a microscope in Cairo and brought it home to Qatar. On my desk, it gave me the freedom to return to an observation without booking laboratory time.

What Happens When an Airway Reopens?
One bubble, cultured lung cells and the actual published measurements: 54.7% cell death without pretreatment, versus 15.1% after dexamethasone or 16.1% after transdehydroandrosterone. An in-vitro finding, not a patient-treatment claim.

The Ring That Never Closed
The intended imidazopyridine route did not yield its target. Three characterized imines led to a cyanide-sensing investigation: a yellow-to-orange response, UV–visible changes near 380 and 450 nm, and difficult questions left by exploratory cell-line work.

The laboratory in motion.
Some laboratory memories are recordings rather than photographs. The original clips are collected here, with routes to the relevant research.

Two Materials. No Section.
Six whole zebrafish larvae appear in one archival photograph. In the embedding attempt that followed, agarose and paraffin separated. I could not obtain an interpretable histological section.
