A photograph showcasing two distinct samples of activated alumina and activated carbon side by side on a sterile white laboratory bench. The activated alumina appears as small, white spherical beads neatly arranged in a shallow petri dish, contrasting with the black, irregularly shaped granules of activated carbon in a matching dish next to it. A small, clear label positioned between the samples reads “"Activated Alumina”” and “"Activated Carbon"” respectively. Soft, diffused lighting illuminates the scene, emphasizing the texture and color differences of the two materials.
