experiment, 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
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
technical field of using microscopes which is a device that views object or specimen that are too small to be seen with the naked eye. In history, optical microscope is the first microscope to be developed containing one or more lenses producing an enlarged image of a sample placed in the focal plane by unidentified person. With the advancement of technology, compound microscopes that we are using today were claimed to be invented by Zacharias Jansen. Compound microscope is a microscope forming a magnified
historical events, which led to the birth and the evolution of both the Light and Electron Microscope? History of Light Microscopes It is not clear who invented the microscope but it is said that in Circa 1000AD, an implement called a reading stone was discovered by an unknown inventor, this sphere shaped glass object magnified reading material when placed over it, this then began the birth of the microscope. In 1284 an Italian inventor named Salvino D’Armate was credited for inventing the first
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
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

Relevance: Microscopes are very important instruments that are used mainly in the fields of Science. The invention of the microscope allowed for the discovery of microorganisms, cells, elements of animals, fungi and plants that could not be seen by the naked eye. Microscopes have been used in forensics to solve crimes, to detect minerals, to determine how freezing/heating affects foods and to specify metals. Microscopes are also used in hospitals to diagnose infections and illnesses, and also to
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
Comparing the Light and Electron Microscope In this essay I am going to be comparing the light and electron microscope, I will look at the advantages and disadvantages of each microscope and then analyse my findings to see if one is better than the other. The light, or optical microscope as it is also known was invented in the 17th century, it has been refined in many ways over the years but it is essentially still the same. The light microscope works by; light rays from
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
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
in harmony or loneliness. In psychological terms, illusions are consider to be a very natural process and necessary rather than being conginated as abnormal, which are sometimes known as passive illusions. This means that our mind plays with our optical visibility by projecting strange figures with a continuous persistence which are usually based on our habits, attitudes and unconscious motivations. These usual visionary spectrums are described in The Gale Encyclopedia of Psychology in an article
the needed lens power and pupil distance (PD). Lenses in the needed power are either ordered or taken from stock. These lenses come from the factory as uncut round blanks approximately four inches across. Edging is the process of cutting these optical lens blanks to fit frames, producing a pair of glasses. Equipment There are four pieces of equipment used in the lens edging process. A lensometer is used to check the power in the lens. The tracer is used to determine the dimensions and shape
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY THE COMPANY Concept: Make and market red-tinted contact lenses for egg-laying chickens, altering their behavior so they will fight less, eat less, and produce more eggs -- increasing egg-ranch profitability Projections: Eventual pretax net margins of 25%; 1989 sales of $329,000; 1992 sales of $24 million Hurdles: Persuading historically conservative egg farmers, operating on thin margins, to risk money up front for an unproven product; sustaining the company in the face of slower-than-expected
enhance my competencies in this field. I intend to complete my master's degree in order to pursue my doctorate. The research that I am most interested in pursuing at Northeastern University surrounds the optical properties of MEMS devices, and the development of substrate-based fast electro-optical interfaces. My interest in this area stems from my undergraduate study in MEMs development for tri-axial accelerometers. Engineering has been a key interest of mine since childhood. While still in
completing this lab was to observe how microscopes function. The invention & evolution of the microscope has been an ongoing process since the Middle Ages, when the first convex magnifying lenses were introduced. In 1590, the Jansen Brothers invented the first compound microscope (two or more lenses).However, Antony van Leevenwenhoek created the first “true” microscope, in 1665, with 300x magnification & unbelievable resolution. During the late 1700’s, the microscope was reinvented with 1500x magnification
Light Microscopes Introduction Nobody in the entire world is capable of seeing microscopic things with a naked eye. For years, this has been a huge problem against humanity; people have died of diseases that scientists could not deal with or know about because they lacked of having the correct technology. Back then in the 1400s, they were not aware of bacteria, as microscopes were not invented during those days. They could only see the effect that the bacteria created, but still could not find
different forms of piracy and can all affect the movie industry in various ways. The most common type is known as “Optical Disc Piracy,” which is a major threat to the movie industry. “Pirate optical discs, which include Laser Discs (LD), Video Compact Discs (VCD) and Digital Versatile Discs (DVD), are inexpensive to manufacture and easy to distribute. In 2000, over 20 million pirate optical discs were seized, and by comparison, 4.5 million videos were seized worldwide in the same period” (Anti-Piracy)
