Erik Wicks Mrs. Slattery Biology Lab Report #1: Using a Compound Microscope Section: 5 Objective: What is the proper way to use a compound microscope and prepare a wet-mount slide? Hypothesis: A compound microscope is being used properly when the light source, nosepiece lens, and eyepiece lens work together to bring a magnified image to one’s eye. A wet-mount is properly prepared when a drop of liquid containing the sample is placed between the slide and a thin glass coverslip. Materials: Compound

In 2010, Dr. Manu Prakash conducted a presentation for TedMed titled “Print-and-Fold”. Dr. Prakash’s research from Stanford University is based on bringing new technology to global health. In 2012, Dr. Prakash was awarded a grant from the Gates Foundation for his paper-folded microscope project. In addition, Dr. Prakash currently serves as a Bioengineering professor at Stanford University. In this presentation, Dr. Prakash discusses the lack of access that some countries have for microscopes. Thus

The digital microscope Keyence VHX-5000 is a method, which is easy to handle and supports research with high-resolution images and the calculation of 3D-surface-models. Several functions make it easy and quick to work with: The 3D-function also allows clear 2D images of a rough surface, because all levels are focused automatically and a sharp image of all levels will be created. This function makes it easy to analyse deep cuts, which can be only partially focused in light microscopy or electron microscopy

engine failure, all was set. The Apollo 13 crew were able to do a television broadcast, this was on the night of the 13th of April 1970, they were showing how the mission was going and how was everything going in the spaceship, the Commander, Jim Lovell closed the broadcast by this message “This is the crew of Apollo 13. Wish everybody there a nice evening and a, we're just about to close out our inspection of Aquarius and get back to a pleasant evening in Odyssey. Goodnight." ……… Shortly after

Ron Howard. The movie was filmed in 1995 and the lead roles were played by Tom Hanks as Jim Lovell, Bill Paxton as Fred Haise, Kevin Bacon as Jack Swigert, Gary Sinise as Kevin Mattingly, and Ed Harris as Gene Kranz. It was written by William Broyles, Jr. and Al Reinert. The movie was all in color, it does not have a sequel to it, and it is 140 minutes. I watched it December 11, 2014 at my house. Jim Lovell, Fred Haise, and Jack Swigert are assigned to the mission Apollo 13. Their target was the

The refractor telescope has many advantages and disadvantages. One of the disadvantages is that the lenses are made of glasses therefore it has to be perfect with no air bubbles or scratches in the glass as this will impair the users viewing. Another disadvantage is that lense are weakest around the edges because they are thinnest there and that is the only place they are being supported by the telescope so this can lead to easy breakage. The lense can have colour distortion which means when white

Telescopes help us discover more about space and other things. There are many places to put a telescope space or on land. They all have there own advantages or disadvantages. A warm climate on Earth is a great place to put a telescope. Ground based telescopes are good for many reasons people can’t tamper with it, easier for maintenance, and they cost less than a space telescope. There are many other telescopes in space and on land like the Hubble Space Telescope and the Square Kilometer Array.

ultraviolet radiation. The reflecting telescope was helpful in solving some of these problems because they use mirrors with top coated surfaces which light does not enter. Mirrors don’t sag because they can easily be supported unlike heavy lenses. Since light doesn’t enter the mirror, the problems of different wavelengths, chromatic aberration and opaque do not occur. However, spherical aberration can still occur because when light enters a telescope with a spherical mirror at different distances

Shannon Hall wrote Hawaii’s Telescope Controversy Is the Latest in a Long History of Land-Ownership Battles to highlight the ethics issue surrounding the use of a sacred location to further science. The bases of this ethics issue begins in the 1950-1970, when the pursuit of the Moon, technology and science trumped nearly all other concerns. During this time period allocations of property were leased to astronomers in areas where locals had very little say. This occurred on the peak of the largest

(thirty-meter telescope) on the mountain. According to Hawaiian legend, Mauna Kea is the meeting place of Papa (Earth Mother) and Wakea (Sky Father) who are first ancestors in Hawaiian history. We as Hawaiians view Mauna Kea as a temple or house of worship. In our cultural understanding, it is believed that Mauna Kea was not created by man, but by Ke Akua (God). Mauna Kea is both the burial ground and the embodiment of the most sacred ancestors. This is why I am advocating that a thirty-meter telescope, or
