Amorphous Crystals ¤Amorphous urates are found in acid urine. These crystals may appear pink on gross analysis and yellow microscopically (Figure 2-12). These crystals appear as granules in the urine sediment. Amorphous phosphates are found in alkaline urine. These granules are colorless microscopically and also appear granular when viewed microscopically. Occasionally amorphous material may appear in clumps or masses. It may be difficult to distinguish amorphous crystals from bacteria since they may be of the same size when viewed microscopically. However, amorphous crystals are soluble in opposing acid or alkaline solution; bacteria will not. Amorphous urates will also dissolve when heated. cited from: http://www.tetonnm.com/pics/MESSamplePages/1-893441-10-5.pdf retrieved 4/11/2009

What does sediment mean in geography?
In geography, sediment refers to particles of sand, silt, clay, and other materials that are transported and deposited by wind, water, or ice. These sediments accumulate over time to form sedimentary rocks and contribute to landforms such as deltas, beaches, and alluvial plains. Sediment play a crucial role in shaping the Earth's surface through erosion and deposition processes.
What does silt and sediment mean?
Silt refers to a sediment of a certain size. Sediment can be of any size particle which has been deposited.
