Compound Binocular Microscope

• Salmonella
  As described in the original article, Salmonella is a food-borne disease that occurs frequently in the United States and is reported to be the second common illness worldwide. About one to three hundred persons per populations of 100,000 are affected. In 1996 alone about 39.027 cases were reported in the United States. The incidence of […] read more...
• Organisms that can Survive Extreme Life Conditions in Dry, Cold, Vent, or Acidic Environments
  Few animals, according to the original article, can endure the most severe living conditions. Frogs for example can live in extreme winter. But the top most animals that can endure intense cold, heat, and pressure are organisms such as microbes, bacteria, and archaea. These organisms which can be viewed and identified using a compound binocular […] read more...
  
• Sorcerer II Global Ocean Sampling Expedition
  According to the original article, 7.7 million sequenced snippets of sea-born genomic DNA has been collected by the Sorcerer II Global Ocean Sampling Expedition. But, owing to the huge amount of microbial samples, they have a hard time predicting the knowledge and significant purpose the data may bring to the field of science and biology. read more...
  
• Eucaryotic vs. Procaryotic Cells
  How complex cells are was not truly appreciated until the advent of the electron microscope and modern biochemical techniques, which combined to change our whole picture of the cell. Three or four dec¬ades ago, biology books still regularly included a diagram of a so-called typical cell that showed only five or six simple internal […] read more...
  
• Animal Tissues
  It is traditional to divide all animal tissues into four categories: epithe¬lium, connective tissue, muscle, and nerve, when they are being studied under compound binocular microscopes. Each of these, particularly the second, is a diverse assemblage containing numerous subtypes. It should be emphasized that the subtype classification is based primar¬ily on vertebrate animals, especially human […] read more...
  
• Scientists Create Digital Bacteria To Forge Advances In Biomedical Research Biological Assays On Computer Study Molecular Basis Of Cellular Behavior
  In this article you can learn about a certain type of computer simulation developed by scientists at the University of Chicago and Argonne National Laboratory. Funded by the U.S. Department of Energy and the University of Chicago/ Argonne National Laboratory Seed Grant Program, this type of computer simulation is called AgentCell, which allows scientists to […] read more...
  
• Researchers from Medicine, Physics, Chemistry, and Computer Science Take on The Ever-Branching Mysteries of The Human Lung
  This is a very interesting article on how people who are involved in different fields of science come together for a common goal. Have you ever heard of a group of researchers and scientists from medicine, chemistry and computer science work together to study on Mucus? Well ,this article starts with one of the researchers, […] read more...
  
• Campylobacter in Poultry Processing
  This article includes explanations on Campylobacter, how they get contaminated in food, symptoms when infected and how to get rid of infected poultry. The article starts off with an introduction on Campylobacter, describing it as bacteria which are Gram- negative, curved, with cells that are rod- shaped, and have polar flagella. They can usually be […] read more...
• VIRUSES, VIRUSES,VIRUSES
  If you are a person who has heard what a virus is but doesn’t really understand a lot about them, this article is for you. The author of this article included a very simple but detailed description about viruses, how they were discovered, how they spread, how they survive. To those who do not like […] read more...
  
• Brother Gregory’s Research Assistants
  If you are a student or a teacher looking for yet another different approach to teaching your students about microbes and bacteria, this article will definitely be of great use to you. This article approaches the study and introduction of microbes and bacteria in a way in which the students are made to pretend of […] read more...
  
• Bordetella
  Pertussis is a disease that is considered as highly communicable and preventable through vaccine that could take for a longer period of time. It mostly manifests in children with paroxysmal spasms of frequent or severe coughing, whooping, and posttusive vomiting as well. Taking a closer look under a compound binocular microscope, “Bordetella pertussis” is viewed […] read more...
  
• Gram Staining
  Specific bacterial organisms were first proved by experts and scientists to be the cause of certain diseases in the second half of 1900’s. During the said century, the microscope was further developed yet and experts were keen in identifying the bacteria, as well as in classifying and defining it with the helpful use of the […] read more...
  
• The Compound Microscope
  Basically, compound binocular microscope is made up of mechanical system, that will support the compound binocular microscope, and an optical system. The optical system illuminates the object under the examination and passes the light through a lot of lenses to form a picture of the specimen on the retina of the eye. read more...
  
• Protein-Tracking Microscope
  According to the original article, the first ever high-powered compound binocular microscope that is so sensitive as to track the real-time motion of a single protein to the level of its individual atoms has been designed by Stanford University. It allowed researchers to settle debates about the way the genes are copied from DNA – […] read more...
  
• Neutrophils
  Blood, when viewed under a compound binocular microscope, is composed of many cells. Plasma, erythrocytes, thrombocytes, and platelets are just some of these cells. A compound binocular microscope can be used in studying these different blood cells. Through the use of microscopes such as a compound binocular microscope or other high-powered microscopes, red blood cells […] read more...
