Vermillion, heterotopia and a binocular microscope

vermillion is an opaque orangish red pigment. The naturally occurring pigment is known as cinnabar. Today it is most commonly artificially produced by reacting mercury with molten sulfur. Most naturally produced vermilion comes from cinnabar mined in China.

heterotopia- a space of otherness, which is neither here nor there, that is simultaneously physical and mental, such as the space of a phone call or the moment when you see yourself in the mirror. Foucault uses the term heterotopia to describe spaces that have more layers of meaning or relationships to other places than immediately meet the eye. In general, a heterotopia is a physical representation or approximation of a utopia or a parallel space that contains undesirable bodies to make a real utopian space possible.

Binocular microscope from 1892 a light microscope adapted to the use of both eyes allowing for 3D perception of very small objects. These types of may either have a goal of making an image three-dimensional or may focus on increasing clarity through resolution.
