Russian 5U3C full wave rectifier tube (similar to western 5U4G). Detail showing oxide coated filament (cathode - light grey loops; emits electrons when hot), tensioning springs to counter expansion when filament is hot, top mica insulator and one of the plates (anode; dark grey flattened metal cylinder that straight parts of filament go into; collects electrons emitted by filament):

Non-macro image of the same type of tube in operation; for scale it is about 5"/125mm tall:

A few more views of parts of the tube above.

That's so screwed up.

And despite that, you can STILL never find the correct size when you need it!!

The hardware one reminds me of these that I took a few months ago. It's a big box of old carbon-composition resistors, and while the photos were taken with my iPhone, I'd call them macro as I pretty much stuck the thing into the box among the parts. (As frustrating as the phone is to use compared to the DSLR, what with it not necessarily focusing where I want it to, not taking the picture till it wants to as opposed to when I hit the button and just lacking the shutter speed/aperture/focus controls the DSLR has, there are some things it excels at - like fitting places the camera physically can't.)

Old resistors:

I can still remember the very un-politically correct saying I learned in high school radio shop that aided in knowing the sequence the color code values stood for as resisters. I had radio shop 1962 last. :-)
