    number of methods were used to show this discovery. Embryos were analysed during a whole mount in situ hybridisation, and also by histological techniques (Nonaka & Tanaka, 1998). To view the nodal cilia, fluorescent microscopy using a confocal laser microscope, and immunoelectron microscopy using electron microscopy was used without electron staining (Nonaka & Tanaka, 1998). Electron microscopy was also used with electron staining to view the embryo (Nonaka & Tanaka, 1998). Fluorescent latex beads were

    muscovite, smectite, kaolinite and nacrite (a typical hydrothermal mineral). Cross-polarized light shows that opal-CT has very low interference colours, in contrast to the brighter colours typical of chalcedony (Mustoe, 2008). However, polarizing microscope images alone cannot resolve the degree of crystallinity of phases. For this, XRD and Raman microscopy are required to clearly identify chalcedony, moganite, orthorhombic-silica, opal-CT, opal-C and quartz (Hatipoğlu and Türk, 2009). It is not easy

    using microscopes. The microscopes were introduced in the first lab and were important to look at the cells more closely. While using either premade samples or the student’s cheek cells, the students learned how to use the microscopes well through adjusting the slide to find cells or focus the microscope so one could see the slides clearly. Through the microscope, the nucleus is visible because it is dyed darker than the other parts of the cell. This was true for all of the light microscope slides

    to observe the organelles of several classifications of cells including: check cells, onion cells and elodea cells. In Figure 1 an unstained check cells is shown clearly under a light microscope of a magnification of 100. According to Figure 1, the unstained check cell is not entirely visible under the microscope because no stains are used. Figure 1, shows some clusters of bubble-like structures, however can not be concluded that they’re check cells. Furthermore, the stained check cells in Figure

    solutions of 0.9% of sodium chlorine, 10% of sodium chlorine and distilled water to individual slides containing a drop of blood, then placed under the microscope, the following observation listed below took place, and were compared to the original slide number one. Slide#1 with one drop of sheep’s blood. The first slide was placed under the microscope under the magnification of 40x, and a thick red layer appeared with a white streak on the side. There was little air bubble spread on the layer, which

The knowledge posed from science led to the creation of technology like telescope while the telescope technology led to a microscope that allows researchers to discover nature in a new era. According to an article by Rice University, a telescope is one of the dominant instruments of what has been referred to as the Scientific Revolution. However, according to the article, they

    this case, we use negative staining. In negative staining, we will place a single drop of nigrosin on a clean microscope slide. By applying aseptic technique, we will transfer a little bit of our phage from the plaque and mix it into the drop of nigrosin on the slide. Another microscope slide will be used to spread out the drop into a film. Air dry the film and observe the slide under microscope according to correct techniques. High purity of bacteriophage preparation can be obtained by using ion-exchange

    In the year 1882 a man by the name of Walter Flemmings found out the process of mitosis in greater depth. A German zoologist Otto Bütschli might have discovered a process known as "mitosis", nevertheless he wasn't able to explain the topic in understandable vocabulary. Originally mitosis was discovered in frog, rabbit, and cat cornea cells and described briefly by the Polish histologist Wacław Mayzel in 1875. Flemmings got the fame because of his explanation. Now most of you might not know what
