Tracy Postert

I am a biomedical research scientist who became a victim of the 9/11 attacks in lower Manhattan when the fumes overwhelmed my home.Living so close to Ground Zero after 9/11, I quickly came to the conclusion that something other than an office fire destroyed the World Trade Center complex. When the World Trade Center exploded into powder, part of it fell onto and into my apartment building. I collected a very large amount of this peculiar material and have been conducting a forensic study of it ever since. What I need is a decent digital microscope, so I can take better images of the WTC dust and better illustrate my findings. I do not plan to make any money out of my WTC dust research, and will provide my results to the community at no charge. I have already written a paper that describes my initial findings, but the WTC dust images were taken with an ad hoc microscope/camera set up, and I was not fully able to realize the images, although my examination of the images did yield results. I want to use the digital microscope to more systematically document my findings related to the WTC dust.
