Question: What will you do with a phone that you no longer use?
For parents? Sold on a used website?
Or piled up in an invisible corner from time to time to take nostalgia?
In short, as a close friend who has accompanied you
It's always good to have a good home
Think back to ten years ago...
2010/2011/2012
Several iPhones turned out
Leave a deep memory on the editor who was still young at that time
White body, full touch screen, only one button
It has become synonymous with high-end, rich and good taste
Especially a generation of "machine gods" iPhone 4/4S
It is a classic of the moment
However, with the change of times, the mobile phone leaders at that time
It has also been replaced by latecomers
Not to mention the sudden rise of domestic brands
Ten years later, all kinds of excellent smart machines have emerged
But there are still people who miss the original classics
So someone disassembled the mobile phone into parts
Made a specimen ~
That's right, it was made into a specimen
Just like butterfly specimens, plant specimens, put them in photo frames and treasure them forever
Prices range from $800 to $1,000
Actually disassembling your own obsolete iPhone or Android phone and framed the parts into a "specimen" has a long history. The mobile phone specimen is not only a souvenir of this mobile phone, but also very beautiful, unique and ritualistic, and it is also another display of scientific and technological aesthetics. In fact, it is impossible to buy an iPhone 4/4s to use now, if you have a new original unopened iPhone 44s, the price of selling is definitely more than 1,000 yuan.

Of course, for making such mobile phone specimens
Real fruit fans will feel full of emotions
The average user will feel redundant
But don't underestimate people's attachment to specimens: this way of "time" being retained
They are rare, some are beautiful, and there are things you can't imagine
Let's take you to see some magical specimens~
(The picture of the article comes from the Internet)
First, let's look at a group that is beautiful enough to be beautiful
This transparent specimen comes from Japan and is made in a different way than a regular specimen:
1. Soak the specimen in formaldehyde and reshape its shape;
2. Put it into distilled water, wash and peel off the scales and epidermis;
3. Soak in the dyeing solution to dye the bones;
4. Soak in the potion to make it transparent;
5. Inject the red dye into the bone, and then put it into the glycerol container for preservation.
Let's take another look at a cute group, from the UK
British herbarium artist Walter Potter created a "Victorian World" out of small animal specimens, and he dressed up the stuffed taxidermy as a Victorian image, such as kittens playing croquets, rabbits taking classes in groups, etc.
Finally look at a set of rarity
Ammonite specimen 200 million years ago
47 million years ago, it contained the Slate of Archaeopteryx, the earliest bird on Earth, featuring both birds and dinosaurs
137 million years ago Iguanodon tooth specimen
Fossilized teeth of pygmy elephants that lived between 10,000 and 800,000 years ago
An emperor penguin egg found during a 1910 Antarctic scientific expedition
The skull of the Barbary lion in North Africa
About 50,000 years ago, a female caveman skull skeleton
Dodo biological specimen, the skeleton is more than 1,000 years old
The Wasteland Lodge Ancient Meteorite Specimen, one of the first meteorite specimens to fall in the UK, was formed 4.6 billion years ago at the beginning of the solar system
3.7 billion-year-old ilmenite samples from the Moon
Relative to mobile phone specimens
The above stuff seems to be more expensive
More collectible
But for those who want to keep certain memories
The way is perhaps not the most important
If you don't want to take the time to do a collection specimen
It's also good to find a box to put away quietly
Made into specimens
It's a great way to keep a thing for a long time
But if you want to save an item for a short time
Even valuable experimental items
It is not a picture frame that can be satisfied
You need a safer environment as well as experimental equipment
Itex glove box
High vacuum environment + inert gas protection
Anhydrous and anaerobic, always protect your experiment safe~
100 years is too long, and I am responsible for everything at this moment
