commonly used application of the Michelson Interferometer is in imaging cells. In this application‚ the Michelson Interferometer is mated to a microscope and the cell is in one arm of the interferometer. When light passes through the cell‚ it undergoes a phase shift which depends on the cell thickness and organelles within the cell. The fringe pattern produced can be used to construct a three dimensional image of the cell. ! ! A commonly used set up of the Michelson Interferometer is shown

Lab Report 7: Analysis of Cereal Introduction: The objective of this lab was to consult for the FDA regarding a recently surfaced scandal involving false reporting of iron content in cereal as well as iron tablets. The makers of the cereal and the iron tablets‚ respectively‚ were allegedly reporting higher amounts of iron in their products than actually existed‚ as a way to save money but continue to provide products with “adequate” amounts of iron. The FDA needed consulting in order to analyze

Adwoa Fosuah Bio Psych Lab Report 4 Cold Pressor Task Aim The cold pressor test is done by having the subject submerge their hands in a bucket of cold water to determine cardiovascular changes such as blood pressure and heart rate. For this experiment we wanted to know how long participant can keep their feet in the bucket of ice water before they experience any pain while looking at neutral and positive pictures and also rate the intensity of their pain. For this reason we hypothesized that

An animal cell is not visible to the naked eye and is about 10 to 30 micrometers. A micrometer is one one-thousandth of a millimeter. They are so small that it takes a microscope with a magnification of at least 400x to be able to see inside the cell. These cells are what make up the basic units of structure and function in all living things. They carry out our life processes and make it possible for us to function and live. Inside these cells are organelles‚ which are smaller than the cell itself

An example of a specialised animal cell could be of a nerve cell. The nerve cell contains axons of motor and sensory neurons‚ which are in bundles of fascicles. They are surrounded by connective tissue which is the sheath of perineurium which ensures that the cells do not get damaged. This lso helps do that the function of the cell is carried out correctly (Nerve Anatomy or Structure (Expanded View)‚ 2017). The function of a nerve cell is to emit impulses through electrical signals fromt the brain

Lab report As part of my module Nip1002 I was required to perform a set of observational skills which included; pulse‚ blood pressure‚ respirations‚ hand washing and urinalysis and then compare them to previous results. In this lab report I am going to discuss blood pressure in detail. Procedure * Explain the procedure to the patient and gain consent * Wash hands thoroughly following the hand wash technique to prevent the transfer of bacteria * Clean equipment e.g. blood pressure cuff

ABSTRACT. In this experiment‚ we test factors which affect friction. We pulled a wood block across a surface to determine whetherthe surface area ofthe block orthe type ofsurface affectsfriction. We found that the surface area of the block did not change the coefficient of kinetic friction‚ while the types of materialsin contact were directly related to the coefficient of kinetic friction. INTRODUCTION Friction is a part of our everyday life. Nearly every movement we make involves friction

Chemistry Lab Report Water Hydration Introduction: A hydrated crystal or hydrated occurs when water becomes tightly attracted to a metal salt base on it’s polarity. The water molecules maintain integrity as molecules‚ however they are considered to be part of the formula of the hydrate. When the hydrate metal salt crystal is heated‚ the attractions to the water are broken by the heat energy and the water escape from the crystal. After heating the salt crystal is called as anhydrous‚ which

INTRODUCTION The measurement of fluid flow is very important in our daily life from measurements of blood-flow rates in human artery to the measurement of liquid oxygen in a rocket. In this experiment‚ students are to adapt to various ways to measure the flow of essentially incompressible fluids by using the flow measuring apparatus. Students will also be able to understand the application of Bernoulli’s equation in this experiment. The flow is measured by using a venture meter‚ an orifice meter

Lauren Sullivan Plants Imperfections Abstract The purpose of this experiment was to plant different crosses and observe the different phenotypic ratios the plants present. The procedure of this experiment was plant six different crosses and water them correctly so that we could observe the different phenotypes and compare them to Mendel’s proposed ratios. Mendel‚ who had studied peas‚ did a similar experiment and came up with specific ratios that a monohybrid and dihybrid cross should show. His
