    are you aware of mercury toxicity & evaporation rate? mercury can easily evaporate because its melting point is -38.8 degree Celcius... So better be careful!..

    Is the interference on the film due to mercury being radioactive? Cool metal but a dangerous one. 5*

    • Radioactive?

      The "interference" is sunlight glinting off the rippling surface of the mercury; whilst mercury is a dangerous heavy metal, it isn't radioactive.
