    Sorry for the delay, I lost all connectivity about ten seconds after making my correct guess.

    I've finally found some suitable odds and ends . . .

    NOT the pencil. I'm pretty sure we all know what one of them is.

    Is the pale green object a bearing?

    are they the piston seals from an HPLC pump?

    That was disappointingly quick. Yes, they're piston seals. And since I don't know (a) what they're from or (b) what the seals from an HPLC pump look like, I'll have to give you the benefit of the doubt.

    bugger :lol:

    HPLC is 'high performance liquid chromatography' (although some people substitute 'pressure' for 'performance'). They work at high pressures, and the pumps I've seen consist of a piston which is a little smaller in diameter than the pencil in your pic (obviously really :roll: ) and sometimes made of a ruby. I've had to replace the seals in the past.


    I'll have a look around today for something to photograph, but it might have to wait until I get home.

    Hopefully this isn't as easy as it appeared to me when I picked it up to photograph.

    Yeah, stupid me twice over. Should have got it first time and shouldn't have won.

    Oh well... time to find an object.
