She stays there her entire life, and uses a couple tricks for protection: secreting a waxy, white coating and synthesizing carminic acid.

她一生都呆在那里，并使用了一些保护技巧：分白色涂层并合成胭脂红酸。

Gerlach and others had some luck using carmine to highlight different kinds of cell structures, but where Gerlach got stuck was in exploring the tissues of the brain.

Gerlach 和其他人用胭脂红来突出不的细胞结构是有些运气成分在的，但 Gerlach 陷入困境的地方是探索大脑组织。

But the waste product that these chemolithoautotrophs make is often in the form of minerals, like rust or pyrite, like fool's gold, or carminites, like limestone.

但是这些化能自养生物产生的废物通常以矿物质的形式存在，如铁锈或黄铁矿， 如愚人金，或胭脂红，如石灰石。

So one day, he tried making a diluted version of the stain — thinning out the carmine with ammonia and gelatin — and wetted a sample of brain tissue with it.

所以有一天，他尝试制作一种稀释版的染色剂——用氨和明胶稀释胭脂红——并用它润湿脑组织样本。

Back in his day, a few scientists had been tinkering with staining tissues, especially with a compound called carmine — a red dye derived from the scales of a crushed-up insects.

在他那个时代，一些科学家一直在修补染色组织，特别是一种叫做胭脂红的化合物——一种从压碎的昆虫鳞片中提取的红色染料。

The carminic acid molecules are stored as clumps in her hemolymph – the insect equivalent of our blood – and ward off some would-be predators, like ants, and harmful microbes.

胭脂红酸分子以团块形式储存在她的血淋巴中——相当于我们血液的昆虫——并抵御一些潜在的捕食者，如蚂蚁和有害微生物。

By its carmined lip, its near-smart hat, its babbling of " him, " and by the knowledge which looks boldly out of its eyes you know it is tragically old.

Each bug is about as big as a grain of rice, so you have to collect, dry, crush, and process tens of thousands of them for each kilogram of cochineal dye.

每只虫子大约有一粒米那么大，所以每公斤胭脂红染料必须收集、干燥、粉碎和加工数万只。
