Microscopy and the Metric System Margaret E. Vorndam‚ M.S. Version 42-0090-00-01 Lab Report Assistant This document is not meant to be a substitute for a formal laboratory report. The Lab Report Assistant is simply a summary of the experiment’s questions‚ diagrams if needed‚ and data tables that should be addressed in a formal lab report. The intent is to facilitate students’ writing of lab reports

Lab #1 ‐ Introduction to the Microscopy & Observation of Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic Cells Introduction Many of the cells and organisms that you will be studying are at the lower limits of visibility of light microscopes; therefore‚ it is extremely important that you attain critical lighting and focussing. It is also important to handle the microscope competently to avoid damaging either the microscope or the preparation you are studying

1. Introduction Microscopy is an essential technique not only in cell biology but natural science as a whole. We compared different types of microscopic techniques ‚ according to the specimen used and the scope of the experiment. Two specimens‚ stained and unstained‚ containing CHO cells‚ were prepared‚ examined and analyzed under the microscope using bright field (HF)‚ dark field (DF) and phase contrast (PH) settings. In addition‚ the four phases of cell division cycle were estimated.. Bright

By examining blood smear by microscopy it can detect infections whether they are viral or bacterial. Blood smears are examined by looking at the white and red blood cells appearances. The aim of the experiment is to compare a normal blood smear and its pathological features to those with an infection or abnormality by the use of microscopy looking at the cells involved with blood. A normal blood smear would contain 3 to 4 white blood cells per field in microscopy. If there is an increase in the

Kevina Smith Lab 1: Microscopy and the Metric System Part A: Microscopy Purpose The purpose of this experiment was to learn how to use a microscope correctly and perform wet mount slides accurately‚ thus becoming more familiar with the microscope. Hypothesis It would be hard to use the microscope without any kind of previous training and the parts of the microscope and their functions must be learned in order to use it properly. Materials & Methods Materials: 1. Filter

The Metric System Scientific data is always reported using metric system units of measurement. There are four basic metric measurement units: • Length = meter (m) • Volume = liter (l) • Mass (weight) = gram (g) • Temperature = ° Celsius (° C) All four metric system basic units can be converted into larger or smaller units simply by adding a prefix in front of the basic unit: Unit prefixes: • kilo (k) = Makes the basic unit 1000 times larger (103) • deci (d) = Makes

change to the metric system would be beneficial to the United States because not only it is easier to use‚ but it would make conducting business/trades easier‚ communication better‚ improve the economy‚ and help the country to not fall behind in the global economy. The United States is the only industrialized country in the world that doesn’t use the metric system as its primary system of measurement. Changing to the metric system will make the United States be on the same system of measurement

The Metric system Have you ever looked at the back of a food item or drink to check nutritional values? Everything on the label is measured in the metric system. Do you actually know how much sugar you are getting? Or how much of a certain medication you can safely take? Have you ever thought that there should be ten inches in a foot‚ ten feet in a yard? A system with a standard that makes sense. Well you’re in luck with the metric system. The English Imperial system may be more familiar and

scientific communities use the standard unit of measurement called the metric system‚ early measurements were based on human body parts. In time‚ nations developed their own different units of measure. Due to all the different national measurements‚ it was difficult for scientists to understand each other‚ resulting in chaos. For example‚ if the United States conducted an experiment and France wanted to mimic the experiment‚ the different units of measure would make the conversions more complicated
