Photorealistic image of an antique brass balance scale on a mahogany laboratory table, soft natural window light. On one side, a single precisely machined brass weight with engraved mathematical notation. On the other side, a towering stack of hundreds of small metal tokens threatening to overflow, yet the scale remains perfectly balanced. Scattered around the base: aged paper with handwritten equations, a worn leather-bound journal, brass calipers. Background shows floor-to-ceiling library shelves filled with leather-bound volumes, slightly out of focus. Rich wood grain textures, oxidized brass patina, dust particles visible in light beams. Scientific documentary style, medium format film aesthetic, shallow depth of field.
