Compound Microscope Parts A high power or compound microscope achieves higher levels of magnification than a stereo or low power microscope. It is used to view smaller specimens such as cell structures which cannot be seen at lower levels of magnification. Essentially‚ a compound microscope consists of structural and optical components. However‚ within these two basic systems‚ there are some essential components that every microscopist should know and understand. These key microscope parts are illustrated

Biomimetics From Wikipedia‚ the free encyclopedia Velcro tape mimics biological examples of multiply hooked structures such as burs. Biomimetics or biomimicry is the imitation of the models‚ systems‚ and elements of nature for the purpose of solving complex human problems.[1] The terms biomimetics and biomimicry come from the Greek words bios‚ meaning life‚ andmimesis‚ meaning to imitate. A closely related field is bionics.[2] Living organisms have evolved well-adapted structures and materials

Lines of Latitude are parallel to the equator. True Lines of longitude are parallel to the polar axis. True What is the approximate diameter of Earth at the equator? About 8‚000 miles “Time” can be used to calculate latitude. False Why is it difficult to produce a 2-dimensional map of the earth that will faithfully reproduce to entire earth surface without distortion? There is no way to produce such a map because of the shape of the earth. According to Oceanography‚ Which of the following was the

Photochemistry From Wikipedia‚ the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation‚ search Illustration of the electromagnetic spectrum. Note the visible spectrum‚ as well as ultraviolet and infrared regions. Photochemistry‚ a sub-discipline of chemistry‚ is the study of the interactions between atoms‚ small molecules‚ and light (or electromagnetic radiation).[1] The pillars of photochemistry are UV/VIS spectroscopy‚ photochemical reactions in organic chemistry and photosynthesis in biochemistry

141 Chapter 3 Stable Isotope Fractionation In 1913‚ Sir J.J. Thomson found that the element neon has two different kinds of atoms with atomic weights of 20 and 22‚ respectively. This was the first experimental proof of a hypothesis by F. Soddy that different atoms might occupy the same place in the Periodic Table. Soddy named these atoms isotopes‚ which in Greek means equal places (Soddy‚ 1913). For his experiments‚ Thomson used a so-called ‘positive ray apparatus’‚ a predecessor of today’s mass

ABSTRACT Several mass extinctions have occurred during the Earth ’s history. The Cretaceous Tertiary Boundary (K-T) Extinction caused the loss of at least three-quarters of all species known at that time including the dinosaurs. The cause of this mass extinction is a controversial subject among scientists but the fossil evidence of it ’s occurrence is abundant. INTRODUCTION The K-T Extinction occurred 65 million years ago. Many species perished in that extinction. Today evidence for this extinction

In this research paper‚ readers will be able to know about algal blooms or commonly known as red tide. This is a situation wherein algae reproduce easily because of the chemicals that flows through different bodies of water. Algal bloom is also connected in climate changes we encounter in this century. It’s either the algae reproduce easily by the climate or the algae are having hard times reproducing for the same reason. It can also be observed in aquariums. An experiment is given for the readers
