I just took some photos of the tyndall with a laser pen in the dark of
several liquids.  One thing I noticed that was the tyndall of tap water was
not actually that bright.  It was pretty dim in fact.  The tyndall of a
roughly 10ppm CS that went a little wrong was MUCH stronger.  This CS was
still mostly clear but was just borderline starting to turn yellowish.  I
always assumed tap water would have strong tyndall.  I took all the photos
in mason jars.
