I actually like the liquids, although maybe a few more of the tubes 
should have higher liquid levels.
The thing I don't like is the tiles. They look too sharp, too perfect. 
Probably because the pattern appears to match from tile to tile, as 
though they were all carved out of one piece of stone and set back in 
their original positions.
Maybe you should use a light colored wood or formica workbench with 
assorted stains and a couple small burned spots.

Yes, a light colored plywood workbench with spatters and streaks of 
green, yellow, and brownish red(about the color of dried blood), several 
fairly large scorched areas, a couple pieces of broken glass and metal 
shards lying around, and dings and dents covering a large portion of the 
surface would be nice. Maybe even a couple roughly drilled holes. :-)


The glass is really nice, but I notice things seem to look brighter when 
seen through it. This is most noticeable when you look through several 
test tubes at a time. What is the color you are using for this? I would 
suggest you use transmit of 0 and keep filter below 1 for most realistic 
results. Also, there seem to be some dark areas in the tube stand, what 
trace level did you use?
