of a certain wavelength. Modern flow cytometry machines can have up to 10 lasers and even more detectors. An advantage of this method is that it is also possible to measure the size and the granularity of a cell. However, as in immunofluorescence microscopy, fluorescence compensation has to be taken into account when using FACS as well. The procedure for sample preparation is very similar to that in immunofluorescence experiments, which is an advantage when comparing the two
The purpose of this lab was to implement the use of a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) to examine and analyze metal samples that were subject to different failure tests. These failure tests included tensile tests, impact tests, and fatigue tests. SEM’s are useful because they provide a 3D view of the surface of the material, which improves the ability to examine the failure type at a microscopic level. In addition to this, the resolving power of a SEM is much stronger than that of a standard microscope

A transfer pipette was used to place a single Daphnia magna into the well of a concave slide and any excess water was removed by using a Kimwipe tissue. The use of a coverslip was unnecessary so that the specimen isn’t crushed and killed. The D. magna had enough water to allow its gills to function but not so much that it could’ve actively swim. The specimen’s heart was located using a light microscope using the lowest magnification. We determined the baseline heart rate by allowing the organism
the jaws is gained only in the anterior of the midline, the use of this technique for the calculation of horizontal dimension of alveolar process is applicable to this area only. [49,52] 2.4.5 Panoramic Radiography: The resolution of and the shape of the panoramic radiographs is less than that of an intraoral film but it provides a broader visualization of the two jaws and the anatomical structures nearby. The panoramic imaging technique is distinct because of the magnification in vertical plane
of a mitochondrion’s function. Scientists used the tools available to them (high magnification) to observe the electrons being emitted from NADH. To take a look at these NADH molecules, the scientists used intravital microscopy. Intravital microscopy is a high-resolution microscopy technique that was used back in the 19th century. In order to obtain a clear image without blurring, a level of optic quality is required. With a superb optic tool, scientists can observe the cells in their natural habitat
1. INTRODUCTION TO MICROSCOPY A microscope is an instrument used to see objects that are very small for the naked eye. The science of examining small objects using such a tool is called microscopy. Microscopic means invisible to the eye except aided by a microscope. 2. HISTORY FIRST Zacharias Jansen (1580–1638) invented a compound light microscope and after that Antony van Leeuwenhoek in 1632–1723 invented a simple (one-lens) microscope that earned a lot of importance worldwide. Robert Hooke in

Light microscopy is one of the least invasive techniques used to access information from various biological scales in living cells. The combination of molecular biology
were commercially available and purchased from Fluka, Merck, and Aldrich chemical companies. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analyse was performed using a TEM microscope Philips CM 120 KV Netherland. X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns were obtained on Inel French, EQUINOX 3000 model X-ray diffractometer using Cu-K radiation. Scanning electron/electron backscatter diffraction microscopy (SEM)/(EBSD) has been performed using an SU3500 microscope with scanning range from 0 to 20 keV. Electron dispersive
AIM The aim of the experiment was to learn how to properly use light microscope and investigate the unicellular organism. INTRODUCTION In biological sciences there are many methods to investigate certain elements and structures but on the top of the list if microscope. Vast majority of organisms on the planet and on the body are too small to be seen from a naked eye, the cells and the organelles can only be seen under the eye of light microscope. In this experiment the method to use light microscope
imaging is challenging as the cells needs to be kept at a good condition while making sure of the high quality imaging. There are different types of microscopes that serve the live cell imaging purpose such as Phase contrast microscopy, Fluorescent microscopy and widefield microscopy.

The purpose of this lab report is to employ a myriad of skills, tools and, methods learned throughout this semester to perform the appropriate tests for the identification of the assigned unknown bacteria. Add more background information here!!! The most important tools and techniques used during this identification include aseptic technique, microscopic examination and, the use of selective and differential media. Aseptic technique is an important tool for microbiologists. It is imperative that
The primary role of mitochondria, in eukaryotic cells, is production of metabolic energy. They play a role in oxidative phosphorylation (final step in aerobic respiration) during which ATP is produced. Energy is produced via oxidation of pyruvate and NADH. Firstly the link reaction takes place in the mitochondrial matrix, during which acetyl CoA is formed. This step is followed by the Krebs Cycle in the same location, resulting in 2 CO2, 1 ATP, 3 NADH+H+ and 1 FADH2 molecules. Final step of aerobic
Methodology 3.1. Study design A comparative cross-sectional study will be conducted within a period of six months at Health Services Partner Cameroon Polyclinic and the Kumba town health area. Participants who present to the hospital with a clinical suspicion of malaria will be matched for age and sex on a one on one basis with healthy participants from the community. The study will be designed in accordance with the STARD guidelines for the presentation of diagnostic studies (27) 3.2. Study area
2013) In this study, the Raman microscopy technique was employed for identifying a multi-pigmented surface from the wall decorations of the Theban tomb (TT277), Luxor, Egypt. The Raman spectra were collected in the near infrared excitation line (785 nm Linefocus) of a diode laser source which enables mapping scan of specic areas in only few minutes. The microstructure and microanalysis of samples were performed by the aid of an environmental scanning electron microscopy coupled with an
followed through entire living cells and tissues in three dimensions. (Wright and Wright, 2002) Development of the Confocal Microscope How have confocal microscopes furthered our understanding of cell biology? Introduced in 1955, confocal microscopy has since become more commonly used, particularly after the invention of lasers in the
animal glue, etc.) to achieve the adhesion between the particles and consequently to be applied as paint film on the dry ground. The pigment must be dispersed or grinded as evenly as possible in the binding medium to take full advantage of the properties of both the pigment and the binder.[8] The typical stratigraphic structure of the Egyptian wall paintings is usually made of multiple layers. The plastering procedure was to initially smooth an irregular rock surface with one or more of plaster layers
Light is the most important tool to retrieve the information about our universe. The development of light-based tools and advancements in the measurement of light has led to many scientific discoveries. The development of improved light sensors has revolutionised the field of scientific research in which the detection of gravitational waves is the recent example. Telescopes provided us with the better insight of our universe; microscopes played an essential role in the field of biology and medicine
Even though this technique may be somewhat more susceptible than microscopy, it is of restricted effectiveness for the diagnosis of acutely ill patients in the standard healthcare setting. PCR results are often not obtainable rapidly enough to be of value in establishing the diagnosis of malaria infection. PCR is mostly beneficial for verifying the species of malarial parasite after the diagnosis has been recognized by either microscopy or RDT. 5. Serology Serology antibodies identifies against malaria
