36-455: A line of red lines. Once communications were established through the radio, the rescuers became aware of the new color, and the journalists coined the name " Red Curtain" . The continual and aggressive light of the Nordic summer made the delicate aniline vanish in just a few days, bringing the tent to its original livery. The Red Curtain was retrieved, along with Einar Lundborg 's airplane and all

54-400: Is a mixture of rosaniline, pararosaniline , new fuchsine and Magenta II . Formulations usable for making of Schiff reagent must have high content of pararosanilin. The actual composition of basic fuchsine tends to somewhat vary by vendor and batch, making the batches differently suitable for different purposes. In solution with phenol (also called carbolic acid) as an accentuator it

72-474: Is an amine salt and has three amine groups, two primary amines and a secondary amine . If one of these is protonated to form ABCNH , the positive charge is delocalized across the whole symmetrical molecule due to pi cloud electron movement. The positive charge can be thought of as residing on the central carbon atom and all three "wings" becoming identical aromatic rings terminated by a primary amine group. Other resonance structures can be conceived, where

90-525: Is called carbol fuchsin and is used for the Ziehl–Neelsen and other similar acid-fast staining of the mycobacteria which cause tuberculosis , leprosy etc. Basic fuchsine is widely used in biology to stain the nucleus , and is also a component of Lactofuchsin, used for Lactofuchsin mounting . The crystals pictured at the right are of basic fuchsine, also known as basic violet 14, basic red 9, pararosanaline or CI 42500 . Their structure differs from

The Red Curtain was designed by

126-411: The terminal -e , which indicates an amine . American and English dictionaries (Webster's, Oxford, Chambers, etc.) give the correct spelling, which is also used in the literature of industrial dyeing. It is well established that production of fuchsine results in development of bladder cancers by production workers. Production of magenta is listed as a circumstance known to result in cancer . Fuchsine

144-676: The color of the flowers of the plant genus Fuchsia , named in honor of botanist Leonhart Fuchs , or as the German translation Fuchs of the French name Renard, which means fox. An 1861 article in Répertoire de Pharmacie said that the name was chosen for both reasons. Acid fuchsine is a mixture of homologues of basic fuchsine, modified by addition of sulfonic groups. While this yields twelve possible isomers, all of them are satisfactory despite slight differences in their properties. Basic fuchsine

162-636: The engineer Felice Trojani, among the emergency equipments for the crew members who were about to get off the aerial view on the North Pole ; of the equipment was also part of the Ondina 33 radio, through which the Marconist Giuseppe Biagi was able to launch the SOS first and then to lead the rescue to the survivors. The tent design was preceded by an accurate study of those used in previous polar expeditions , and

180-717: The field materials, from the Krasin crew. Upon returning to Italy, Umberto Nobile donated the Red Curtain to the City of Milan , the sponsor of the polar expedition, who dedicated it to the Museum of the Castello Sforzesco , today the National Museum of Science and Technology Leonardo da Vinci , where Felice Trojani mounted it for the last time. The Red Curtain was exposed to the public until

198-432: The inner walls were blue silk; The color was chosen as palliative against the snow ophthalmic. The tent, designed to accommodate up to four people, hosted nine (including two leg wounds, Umberto Nobile and Natale Cecioni), Titina's mascot, a part of the radio and the batteries that fed it. Once the curtain was recovered between the materials scattered on the pack, it was lifted by Trojani, while Mariano and Viglieri planted

216-437: The mid -nineties, and is now waiting for a long and delicate restoration that once again allows its public exposure. Fuchsine It becomes magenta when dissolved in water ; as a solid , it forms dark green crystals . As well as dying textiles , fuchsine is used to stain bacteria and sometimes as a disinfectant . In the literature of biological stains the name of this dye is frequently misspelled, with omission of

234-431: The picks in the ice and tensed the winds, loading the edges with recovered food and other weights. At the bottom were placed the cartons containing the sailing cards and the only surviving sleeping bag that, cut and opened, would host the two wounded Cecioni and Nobile, next to the catalytic stove on. To properly assess the height of the airship relative to the ground, were not sufficiently reliable altimeters available at

They are soft, with a hardness of less than 1, about the same as or less than talc. They possess a strong metallic lustre and a green yellow color. They leave dark greenish streaks on paper and when these are moistened with a solvent, the strong magenta colour appears. Fuchsine

288-454: The time, and was therefore used a more efficient system: from the cabin of the airship were dropped the vials of glass, stuffed with fuchsin , by measuring the time of a fall with a special stopwatch, made in Rome by Hausmann, starting from the release until the vial collapsed, packing red. In order to make the tent visible from above, the survivors decided to use the fallen firecracker vials to draw

306-458: Was carried out by Moretti Company in Milan . The Red Curtain was of a central type, with a parallelepipedal base of 2.75 × 2.75 m for 1 m high, overlaid with a pyramidal part whose vertex was nearly 1 m from the ground. The access was secured through a circular entrance of one meter in diameter and closed by a windshield sleeve. The exterior walls and the bottom were in crude silk , not colored, while

324-437: Was first created by Jakub Natanson in 1856 from aniline and 1,2-Dichloroethane . In 1858 August Wilhelm von Hofmann obtained it from aniline and carbon tetrachloride . François-Emmanuel Verguin  [ fr ] discovered the substance independently of Hofmann the same year and patented it. Fuchsine was named by its original manufacturer Renard frères et Franc, is usually cited with one of two etymologies: from
