“Live cell imaging” Introduction Live cell imaging is based on time laps images and it has various applications in biomedical and biology sciences (figure1). It gives spatial and temporal information as well as information about cell functions through monitoring and measuring the cellular dynamic process in biological structures. Successful live cell 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.

Laser and green fluorescence excite the specimen and it goes under the mirrors scanning in the device. The emitted light by the laser passes a dichroic mirror and it focused to the pinhole (figure 4). Then it is detected by the microscope's camera or photodetector. It should be noted that the sample is being scanned point by point and to get a complete image the computer must build up the image of one pixel at a time. The mirrors in a confocal microscope are controlled by a computer that can store and analyze the produced data. Figure 4. Confocal microscope Advantages and disadvantages of confocal microscopy One of the benefits of the confocal microscopy is producing a series of thin sections of a sample and creating a high resolution as well as 3D images that are taken from horizontal and vertical angels with the possibility to control the depth of field. Blocking out of the focus fluorescence light using the pinhole makes this imaging method more accurate. Confocal imaging method can be time-consuming as it scans the sample point by point. Moreover, it tends to be expensive. Phototoxicity and Photobleaching are other drawbacks of this
Question Set 7 A) What types of methods and tools are used to measure, document and analyze ancient fault activity along the San Andreas Fault and its associated faults? For example, how do geologists determine how long a fault has been active, how often it ruptures, its relative offset motion, and how much offset? Note that the term "ancient" means fault activity that occurred thousands to millions of years ago - long before seismologists were around. Modified Mercalli Intensity Scale: Measures the intensity of an earthquake Richter Scale: Used to measure the magnitude of an earthquake (Tarbuck, 2013)
For example those with HIV and AIDS may get ill from this. It is also possible for Chloramines to cause skin dilemmas like rashes, itching, welting, cracking, bleeding, blistering, and pigmentation. Chloramines and chlorine both have potential carcinogenic effects. A good thing that chloramines do that chlorines don’t do is kill odors. They both kill water borne infectious but chlorine does a better job.
These products are all effective, but they have drawbacks. It is virtually impossible to use them without getting dust and particle in the eyes, mouth and nose. This is at a minimum uncomfortable and unpleasant, and many people fear that ingesting these particles may be a health hazard. DIAMOND MICRODERMABRASION The concerns about the use of the various particles and crystals for microdermabrasion led to an improvement in the material used and the delivery method.
When I see somebody with cancer, I get really mad, I say to myself, ”Why must this disease be real. Why did God create something so horrible that it can affect anybody.” If it was I who had ten million dollars, I would donate it to St.Jude's Cancer Research Facilities because it is a deadly disease, it is a real-nonprofit research organization, and it covers all expenses for families. Cancer is among the top ten leading causes of death in the world. This disease takes nearly eight million lives every year.
The effect of pH on the speed of enzyme interaction with substrate chemicals Hypothesis: About pH: If the pH level is less than 5, then the speed of the enzyme reaction will be slower. About temperature: If the temperature stays the same, then the speed of the enzyme reaction will not be completely affected. Background information: The function of enzymes is to speed up the biochemical reaction by lowering the activation energy, they do this by colliding with the substrate.
Obtain a small sample of the red epidermal cells from the stalk of the rhubarb by carefully peeling away the layer with forceps. Prepare a wet mount slide of the rhubarb tissue in distilled water only. View your slide under low power on your microscope, and then switch to high power. Draw a diagram of the field of view, and label.
Then, by holding the nose of the bullet pointing away from you, the direction the impressions run away from you (either to your left or right) determines the direction of twist. If the rifling impression pattern on the bullet matches the rifling pattern in the barrel of the questioned firearm, the next step is to measure the rifling impressions on the bullet. The lands and grooves on a bullet are measured in thousandths of an inch or in millimeters. One way to measure individual rifling impressions is to use a micrometer, or with advanced technology the majority of crime labs use a comparison microscope; which is two microscopes connected to an optical bridge which allows the viewer to observe two objects simultaneously with the same degree of

There are very few things in existence that can impact and help shape many parts society as television is able to do. With just the press of a button, a person can gain a front row seat to different aspects of the world such as politics, news updates, entertainment, or travel, without having to leave the comfort of their living room. Information wasn’t always this easy to attain though. Television, an everyday amenity, took decades of time and research for inventors to create. America during the 1920’s had very little in means of communication when compared to today’s media.
This root tip was choosen because of its rapid growth and it can be easily avaliable and grown in large numbers. The rapid root growth proved advantageous as it allowed the observation of multiple cells in each mitotic stage within a small sample. It was expected that the majority of the cells found would be in interphase as a large proportion of the cell division cycle is spent with the cell performing its normal cellular functions. Materials: The Materials required for this experiment include; a

the consequence of a reckless overexposure could be beginning from genuine smolders to perpetual imprints on the skin. A few people have a tendency to go to rest amid the tanning process. this is completely unadvisable. In a perfect world, you should evade constant presentation over two hours.
Abstract The purpose of carrying out this experiment was to investigate the phenomenon of Newtons’s Rings, to gain a better understanding of the theory Newton developed as well as to calculate the radius of curvature of a plano-convex lens and the thickness of a section of optical fibre. The effect is named after Isaac Newton who first studied it in 1717. The pattern observed appears as a series of concentric bright and dark fringes, which has its centre at the point of contact between two surfaces.
Fix or replace damaged tissue; biology has always been the main concern for scientists. Today, the most important instrument for tissue engineering scientists to produce replacement tissues and implants to repair or replace damaged tissue. Tissue engineering is generating a new field of study in which the principles of engineering and biology to correct the damaged tissue, uses and can renewal, operation and maintenance of tissue healing. In order to use an ideal scaffold Tissue engineering should have features such as non-toxic Cell and tissue properties to be fit.
