Above drawing shows microscope using immersion microscopy using only one slide, with instead of oil immersion, the lens of the microscope is immersed in the specimen solution. Yes, the microscope lens is immersed not in oil, but in the solution itself with the specimen, the specimen you are attempting to view with the microscope.

counterions, gel electrophoresis
Using the gel electrophoresis device, I found the simple concept not so simple. This was using Agarose gel analysis. Agarose with a direct current, is the most commonly used method for analyzing DNA fragments between 0.1 and 25 kb, while pulse-field gel electrophoresis enables analysis of DNA fragments up to 10,000 kb. Our experiment usedContinue reading “counterions, gel electrophoresis”
blobs of blood, not disks
Three patients diagnosed with hereditary spherocytosis caused by different mutations (panels A–C) showed a spherocyte count of 11% (A), 8% (B), and 10% (C) in their stained peripheral blood smears, as exemplified in panel A (arrows, objective-magnification 100x). so, be interesting. I can’t come to any conclusions yet, but I don’t see the same thingsContinue reading “blobs of blood, not disks”
music I like, yes.
immersion microscopy
in a previous post, I was fascinated by the components of human blood, and how they look nothing like most illustrations of blood. I did these photos with immersion microscopy, yet I did not use oil immersion. Instead, I simply put the microscope lens directly into the specimen of water blood mixture, so there wasContinue reading “immersion microscopy”

I am learning some of the true role of pesticides in crop production. The thing that I learned is what? I learned that pesticides use is not just about keeping pests off the leaves of your plants. Some farmers, like me, believed that. Just as important, perhaps more important, is the role pesticides play inContinue reading “Pesticides role in crop production?”
freedom of speech
I remember a discussion with someone how good freedom of speech is. So good in America. So good, this free speech. And it is true; we all need free speech. My concern is that this is becoming unequal, and leaders have more freedom of speech. Let’s look at something a leader in the USA said.Continue reading “freedom of speech”
