such as Charles Overton and Edwin Gorter were not only exploring new territory in looking at the properties of cell membranes‚ but laying the way for future cell biologists. Scientists had to wait another fifty years for the discovery of the electron microscope‚ let alone seventy years for the advent of freeze fracturing techniques. Nageli and Cramer in 1855 had already suggested that biological cells are separated from their environment by a membrane possessing special characteristics‚ and in

objects around you. Atoms are composed of particles called protons‚ electrons and neutrons. Protons carry a positive electrical charge‚ electrons carry a negative electrical charge and neutrons carry no electrical charge at all. The protons and neutrons cluster together in the central part of the atom‚ called the nucleus‚ and the electrons ’orbit’ the nucleus. A particular atom will have the same number of protons and electrons and most atoms have at least as many neutrons as protons. Protons and

Garg ‚ Prateek sain‚ Vivek Tyagi ‚Piyush Sharma vivekpce51@gmail.com‚ piyushsharma19927@gmail.com ABSTRACT Albert Einstein first proved that each molecule measures about a nanometer (a billion of a meter) in diameter. And in 1959‚ it was Richard P. Feynman who predicted a technological world composed of self-replicating molecules whose purpose would be the production of nano-sized objects. Almost a hundred years after Einstein ’s insight and 40 years after

XRD – X-Ray Diffraction X-ray diffraction (XRD) is a powerful non-destructive technique for characterizing crystalline materials. It provides information on structures‚ phases‚ preferred crystal orientations (texture)‚ and other structural parameters‚ such as average grain size‚ crystallinity‚ strain‚ and crystal defects. X-ray diffraction peaks are produced by constructive interference of a monochromatic beam of X-rays scattered at specific angles from each set of lattice planes in a sample. The

cells come from pre-existing cells (Rudolf Virchow) The historical development of the cell theory: 1485 – Leonardo Da Vinci used glass lenses to study small objects 1600 – the first compound microscope was made by Hans and Zacharias Janssen 1665 – Robert Hooke observed cork cells using a compound microscope and described ‘cells distinct from one another’ 1676 – Anton von Leeuwenhoek described unicellular organisms in pond water 1831 – Robert Brown – observed the nucleus in plant and animal cells

first step of photosynthesis and occurs in the chloroplast. Light is captured by light harvesting complexes. The light excites electrons which excite surronding electrons through resonance induction and excite special pairs of electrons. These electrons help pump protons into the chloroplast lumen creating a proton gradient. Photosystem I also absorbs light and excites electrons which are used to pump more protons. ATPsynthase facilitates the mvement of the protons back down the proton gradient allowing

Objective: To learn how to use and care for a microscope and to know the parts of a compound microscope and to efficiently use the microscope to focus on specimen. Introduction A microscope is an optical instrument used for viewing very small objects‚ typically magnified several hundred times. It consist of different lenses such as: Scanning = 4X‚ Low power = 10X‚ High power = 40 or 43X‚ Oil Immersion = 100X. A microscope is an instrument to see objects too small for the naked eye
