Fluorescence Microscopy and Study of Fluorescence Labelled Developing Heart of Chick Embryo Introduction: Fluorescence: The fluorescence microscopy is a kind of optical microscopy in which the phenomena of fluorescence instead of, or in addition to, reflection and absorption are used to generate the image of the specimen under study. When organic or inorganic specimens absorb photon from a radiation of shorter wavelength (UV or visible spectrum), get excited and subsequently emit light of longer
they cannot be seen with naked eyes and therefore need to be magnified. Light microscopy was first used to magnify the image of the cells using stains. However, some tissue and subcellular structures are too small to be seen even under the light microscope. Therefore another technique was found to visualise the cell in more details. To study the smaller features of the cell, electron microscopy are used. Electron microscopy use electron beam to visualise the specimen. Electron microscopy can only
The causes of many of the illnesses that have plagued the human race have been found at the microscopic level. The microscope, one of the greatest human inventions, has helped find causes, and thereby treatments, for many of these illnesses. Moreover, the microscope can assist in solving crimes, as well as see the cells that make humans who they are. The origins of the microscope can be traced back to the Roman invention of glass in the first century A.D. When the Romans experimented with different
Death by Highlighter I woke up Tuesday morning with a strange sense that I was not alone in bed. Something was jabbing me in the left hip. I opened one eye tentatively. It was 8:47 a.m., and I did not want to be awake. I investigated the source of the jabbing feeling to discover, to my horror, a florescent yellow, uncapped highlighter that I had let slip after falling asleep while reading a report on science and engineering at Duke. I shuddered, moved the higlighter to a more innocuous location
Theory and Concept of Test Brightness of paper is important to determine and understand because the brightness of paper will directly affect the print quality and color of a job. Brightness is different from “whiteness” of paper in that a “bright” paper can be blue, red, green, or any other color since the test measures the amount of diffused light reflected from the surface, as opposed to the amount of the visible spectrum reflected. Brightness of paper, as defined in Tappi T452, is determined

Biological Effects on Potato Potatoes, like all other vegetables contain the enzyme catalase, which breaks down the toxic waste product of hydrogen peroxide. Potatoes have an unusual response to long exposures of light, where the chemical properties are altered within the cells. This can be seen as the surface changes green in colour. Storage conditions of potatoes are therefore important, to ensure potatoes remain in the original state after cultivation. Within this assessment, the effects

diffusion-controlled collision process. Fluorescence measurement provides very important information about the photochemistry of a particular molecule. The first part of this experiment was dealing with the fluorescence behavior of a Leucophor PAF. Information from both spectrophotometry and fluorimetry was used to measure the quantum yield as well as to explain why Leucophor PAF was use as commercial optical brightener. The second part of this experiment dealing with fluorescence quenching of quinine bisulphate
entire exercise was all about caring for and using the microscope. We performed various activities that enabled us to familiarize ourselves with the parts and uses of the microscope. Using the microscope, we observed different objects such as cotton, silk, hair, and even a letter "e." We viewed it using both the low power objective and the high power objective. We did these activities in order to better understand how the compound light microscope works and also to learn about the different procedures
present as are other standard surgical tools, but the suture threads are almost invisible, the needle thinner than a human hair. And all the surgical activity revolves around the most important instument, the microscope. The surgeon will spend the next few hours looking through the microscope at broken blood vessels and nerves and sewing them back together again. The needles are so thin that they have to be held with needlenosed jeweller's forceps and will sew together nerves that are as wide
Many things defined 16th and 17th century Europe. Most recall it to be the era of the Renaissance; of Queen Elizabeth I’s reign; of a time where industry took its first steps and people no longer thought the world to be flat. It was an era that led to the way we live today. But perhaps one of the most essential contributions to modern day society to come from this period of time is the technology. People have been creating things since the dawn of time itself. Ever since we humans took our first
had a huge effect on Asian and African nations in many ways. They took over many countries, enslaved people, and imperialized. Gunpowder, the vaccine, blood transfusion, the telescope, surgery, the submarine, the barometer, the submarine, and the microscope are all great inventions that helped change the way people live today. They are some of many scientific inventions that changed the way of life for people. Gunpowder was first used by the Chinese to light fireworks. Gunpowder changed the way people
girl who he has been avoiding throughout the book he believes that she was a spy of the thought police and when they finally run into she gives him a note and it says I love you..... they have many meetings and fall in love and hide from all the microscopes. The place they meet the most is above a shop in a little room with is without a telescreen they trust him very much. They meet there boss Obrien who they think is a rebel and part of a group called Brotherhood. O'Brien gets them to swear many different
Compound Light Microscope is a tool used to make images larger of small objects that are hard to study with your eyes. The compound light microscope, which is going to be used in this lab activity, is an instrument with two lenses and various knobs to focus the image. In this lab, we will learn about the microscope and how to properly use it (Kim, 2001). Anton van Leeuwenhoek (2001) was the first person to observe and describe single celled organisms by using handcrafted microscopes. He originally
are too small to be seen with the human eye, and without the microscope we would have not understood the mechanism behind the major diseases we know today. Microscopy has helped scientists produce antibiotics and antiviral drugs to treat the diseases that once were in a world beyond our vision. There are three types of microscopy mainly used: optical (light), electron, and scanning probe microscopy. Optical microscopy includes Fluorescence, Bright field, and phase contrast. Optical or light microscopy
MTT assay was used to analyze cell viability of MCF 10A, MCF 7 and MDB-MB 231 cell lines in control and 10mM inorganic phosphate treated groups. MTT assay is a colorimetric assay for evaluating cell metabolic activity. MTT (3-[4, 5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2, 5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) is a yellow aqueous tetrazolium dye. In living cells with active mitochondria, the mitochondrial enzymes such as succinate dehydrogenase (NADPH dependent oxidoreductase enzyme) reduce this dye to formazan, a purple-colored
we had been able to learn the proper technique of using the optical microscope and preparation of different types of slides. Optical microscope, often referred to as light microscope, is a type of microscope which uses visible light and a system of lenses (4X, 10X, 40X and 100X) to magnify images of small samples. Image from an optical microscope can be captured by normal light-sensitive cameras to generate a micrograph. Microscope is one of the best technology provide information such as the staining
Arabidopsis Culture Cell and Transformation Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Columbia ecotype suspension- cultured T87 cells were maintained at 22°C in JPL3 medium with continuous illumination and shaking at 100g. Two-week-old cells were sieved through 500 μm stainless mesh and the remaining filtrate was transferred to a flask containing 20 ml of fresh JPL3 medium for subculture. Transformation of T87 cells was done by culturing the cells in B5 medium supplemented with 1 μM 1-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA)
trio of Dutch eyeglass makers invented the microscope in the late 1500’s. It consisted of a tube with lenses ground from rock crystal, and it magnified objects up to 9 times their actual size. 3. In 1665 the British scientist Robert Hooke published a set of drawings illustrating what he had observed with a microscope. 4. In the early 1670’s Anton van Leeuwenhook, a Dutch fabric-store owner, began to grind lenses as a hobby. He used handheld microscopes to examine materials such as pond water and
