Unfortunately, I wasn't planning on doing any additional videos unless I get a new camera. The sound is shot and I can't use an external mic with it.
I get so much more done without constantly editing and recording, too...
I did do a writeup with some pictures in prepub though, which I suggest you have a look at.

Making some water free KOH by melting and boiling it out in a silver pot. It is ready when it stops boiling.
Care should be taken while working with it, especially when it's molten

Kristof, your pictures are amazing. What were you trying to make?
I'll try to compete with my more modest photos:
1. Terbium, after a real beating. It's a lot shinier on the inside. Wikipedia says it's soft, but doesn't say it's ridiculously durable.
2. Bismuth stairs.
 
Edit: Kristof, I was referring to your post with the hydrogen apparatus.

For the hydrogenation we tried to make a 1,1 disubstitued hydrazine from a nitroso coumpound (both quite toxic...). Sadly the N-N bond broke and I
got back the disubstitued amine and some ammonia.
For the molten KOH, we needed something to distill from ethylamine, since we opened a few cylinders of it, what were stored for a few years. It was
great to distill 2-5 liters of this gas, everything smelled like fish, even since it was under a fume hood

A very all day compound: K2SO4
  
The individual crystals making up this cluster are about 1 cm long.

definitely would be scared to do this thing... but anyway, very interesting

Tried the oxidation of paracetamol to p-benzoquinone with aqua regia. The appearance looks good but this afternoons melting point will give a better
idea of how the reaction turned out, looks nice though

Not chemistry related, but pretty nonetheless. The panorama feature on my camera is useful for capturing such phenomena.
I wish I could upload the monster 2800x1440 full size photo.
Bonus: Is it a solar halo, or a street lamp at 1.21 gigawatts?

Hydrolysis of ASA to yield SA gave some nice crystals: ( 95% yield too  )
Some ethyl acetate from non-acetone nail polish remover.

@Mailinmypocket: Looks really good. It appears as if you sublimed it? I've noticed that no mater how clean you make it, it eventually gets a green
tinge and it can only get worse from there. Use it as soon as possible! Maybe storing under argon would help...

@DJF90 - Thanks, not sublimed though. These crystals were produced by 2x recrystallization from boiling 90% 2-propanol. I plan on sublimating them
before taking a mp though. After the initial reaction with aqua regia, quenching with water, and filtration I noticed small black bits in the filter
cake.
When dissolved in boiling alcohol the first time it yielded an extremely deep red (almost black) solution. I think there may have been some over
oxidation or likely a bit of chlorination happening during the reaction, despite being kept in ice, which yielded side products. Anyhow, left to cool
slowly with insulation long orangey-yellow needle like crystals formed from the wine red liquor which were again, recrystallized from boiling
2-propanol. That is what produced the crystals seen above. I took your suggestion and flushed the bottle with argon in the meantime until a
sublimation and mp can be done though.

I don't have the best camera. I was inspired by other photo's, so I thought let's try it myself.

Very pretty. What is it?
Best to include a description of your experiment along with the photos, as others have done!

GFP expressing E. coli
Not the best quality picture ever, but showing clear fluorescence though.
This is a 50 ml tube with a pellet of E. coli expressing green fluorescent protein (GFP) above a UV lamp. The picture is taken through a filter,
filtering the UV/blue light, but not the green light.

Would you care to right your procedure up? I'd like to try it.

Sure! I used the procedure posted by our own benzylchloride1 in this thread:
http://www.sciencemadness.org/talk/viewthread.php?tid=8250
I still have the stuff stored under argon waiting for a chance to take a melting point, when time permits... Damned holidays

Here is an old photo I found when I stained a nematode with methylene blue (which stains acid regions like proteins and nucleic acids)
Notice the flagella which help nematodes move.
