Hi Ann,
Too...Pasteur had employed a certain shape of Retort, for
experiment, or, to prove a point.
A kind of Retort as had to
it an especially long tapering snout, open at the end, and
which pointed out and
'down'. In the flask were things of an organic nature as
usuallly would spoil if exposed to Air. They remain I
believe, not having ever spoiled to this day...
I think he was wishing to demonstrate the importance of air
currents for the introduction of microbes or yeasts or
whatever...and the
contents of the Flasks, having been sterilized
( or 'Pasteurized' one must suppose,) were and remain all
these years, open to the Air via
the snout's little end, but it's down pointing aspect
prevented Airborne mischief-makers from getting in to the
Flasks.
