...Importance? Microscopes are very important because they help discover the existence of microorganisms, learn the structure of cells, and observe the smallest components of plants, animals, and fungi. A microscope is also used as a tool for diagnosis infection in hospitals. How they work? A microscope works using a process called refraction. As a light is shined through a specimen on a plate or slide, the image is sent through a series of of magnifying lenses.Microscopes magnify items which would otherwise be too small to see with the naked eye. The increased magnification allows for the study of tiny items such as cells and bacteria. A microscope contains a platform with a hole beneath it. The object for examination rests upon the platform over the hole, and light passes through the item from either a mirror or lamp under the hole. The image passes through the lens of the microscope which magnify it several times, depending upon the lens used. Different with the microscope and the naked eye with the letter e? * Ink under the microscope appears different from the normal view. It completely looks different. You can see the details clearly. The ink looks less solid. The view is 2D but when you look it in the microscope, the picture will looks like a 3d image. The ink will be messed up and it won’t look exact the same. When look the ink normally you will see no gapes and no lines but when you zoom it to x100 on the microscope it will have white lines and gapes which aren’t...

...For each substance, one or two tests clearly identified it as being unique from the other substances. What were those tests for each of the white powders? Each of the white powders had tests that were the identifying factors. In the case of salt, the identifying test was the crystal shape test as salt was the only substance with fine but smooth crystals. The salt could also be identified as the substance that did not react with any of the liquids given. Baking soda on the other hand could be recognized with the acid test as it forms bubbles on the sides. The next substance, cornstarch can be identified with the help of two tests. These two tests are the appearance and behavior in iodine tests. The appearance of cornstarch is always a white, clumpy powder. When iodine is poured onto it, the substance turns completely black. The sodium nitrate and sodium thiosulphate can be identified by the behavior in iodine test. Iodine solution turns both of the substances a reddish-yellow colour. After sitting undisturbed for some time, the iodine in the sodium nitrate turns clear again, making the substance visible. The sodium thiosulphate though remains reddish yellow throughout. Were some tests more useful than others? Explain your answer. There were some tests that were more useful to differentiate the substances. In this particular lab, the appearance test was least helpful as the substances were all visible to the naked eye as white powders. The other four tests were important to correctly...

...Although rimless and full rim Nike prescription glasses perform the same function, they are quite different in their construction and stylistic impact. Among the qualities they share are that the right pair of either will make a positive style statement about the wearer. Both also convey the impression of success, intelligence, and trustworthiness about the person wearing them. However, the way they go about doing this is very different. Rimless glasses do this in an understated way that has the least visual impact, while full rim glasses make no attempt at being invisible. In fact, they are very much a part of the wearer's facial appearance. People opting for rimless may like the minimal impact these glasses have on their appearance. Other users of rimless glasses simply like the understated way that it enhances their attractiveness. Those who prefer full rim glasses may simply like their sturdiness, or like that they can add a stylistic look or vibe not possible without them, much like a hat does. Strength and Durability of Construction Three piece rimless glasses consist of two lenses joined together by a nose bridge that attach to the lens material via drilled holes. The temples likewise attach directly to the lens. Because the lens sees a lot of localized stress at the attachment points, tough lens materials such as polycarbonate or Trivex are used. Even so, rimless glasses are more fragile than full rim glasses, which completely enclose the lenses within their frames...

...technology and the procedure Live scan has replaced. Hopefully after reading you will have a better understanding of the topics. Fingerprints are supposed to be the most important proof against any crime as they are unique to each person and cannot be matched with other people. The Crime Information Bureau is an agency of the Division of Law Enforcement Services falling within the jurisdiction of Wisconsin Department of Justice. This department is given the responsibility of up keeping complete and precise identification information about the criminals. The major evidences which are considered important under law are fingerprints, descriptions, photographs and also other personal information which identify the person. When seen under magnifying glass our finger tips reveal ridges and circular patterns on the skin. These patterns or prints are marked before you take birth and are with you for the rest of your life. One of the most important characteristics of these fingerprints is that no two people can have identical fingerprints and hence they are used for identifying a person as evidence. Although the finger prints of every individual are different, they follow certain patterns. These fingerprint patterns are of three main types: Arches, loops, whorls. Around 5% of fingerprint patterns found are Arches. In this type the ridges are seen running from one end to other with no backward turn. Usually in an Arch pattern, delta is not found. But if a delta is present, the re-curving...

...in its ad for sale at a particular price. The ad was designed to get customers to come to the dealership in hopes of getting this deal and then sell the customer a different model at a higher price. This is a typical bait and switch advertisement, an attempt to lure customers in with a lucrative deal only to switch and offer a more expensive product in its place. This is a practice that is some dealership will use. The advertisement is not a binding offer to purchase the product in the ad. They are usually an offer to get customer to come in and see other products as well. In the case of the truck that was advertise the dealer listed the vehicle identification number for the truck that was offer at that price. This to me seems very missing leading because if I understand the VIN number than only one truck can have that VIN number. So the dealership only offered the one vehicle for sale at the eleven thousand dollar price. Also the dealership was not obligated to hold the vehicle for Betty until she arrived. The truck was offer on a first come first serve basis. It...

There were several empty bottles of sleeping pills on the table next to her bed. Her housekeeper, Eunice Murray, had been there all night. Around 3:30 a.m., August 5th, she became alarmed that Marilyn's light was still on and that the door was locked. She called Marilyn's psychiatrist, Dr. Ralph Greenson, and he immediately rushed over. When he arrived they looked in Marilyn's window and saw her lying on the bed. They then proceeded to break into her room, and when they found out she was dead they called the police. The coroner pronounced it probable suicide. This is the official version of what happened. But one must also take into consideration the cover-up, the conflicting stories of what happened, and the inefficiency with which the investigation was carried out. Marilyn Monroe did not die by her own hand, it was someone else's. Who killed her? Was it the Kennedy’s or the Mafia? What reasons did anyone have for killing Marilyn Monroe? Did she know too much? Was she a security risk? Was her death used to blackmail the Kennedys? Whoever the person, whatever the motive, Marilyn was dead, and it was due to foul play.

...Detective Fiction Assignment 4 Submitted by Ankit Bhansali(201001012) Question 1 The episode starts with a scared boy running away from the forest where a man is seen struggling. The boy then encounters a big dog and screams in fear. This shows that the whatever he saw at the forest resembled with the dog or was some kind of an animal which we see later in the episode is called a hound. The viewers were never given a glimpse of the hound in the opening sequence the reason for which we find later that it never existed and was just the product of hallucination from a chemical. The scene sets up the tone for prodigious horror mystery to follow. After that we see a man (Henry Knight) standing in the moor surrounded by fog. At the end of the story we learn that hallucinatory sea of fog turned out to be at the root of the case and the cause for the visuals of the gigantic hound.Therefore the opening sequence was an amazing display which the viewers could relate to at the end. The complete opening sequence is constructed to give the viewers an idea of an horrific story to follow and also helps to maintain immense suspense throughout the episode. After this we see sherlock and watson at their homes. Here sherlock is shown to be desperately wanting a case and the mere delight on his face when he hears a door bell ...
