Laboratory personnel study and examine specimens using a variety of laboratory instruments and equipments like binocular compound microscopes. Laboratory personnel are at risk of getting infected by the pathogens they are examining, as derived from the original article. (more…)
During summer, algae blooms can be found in almost any body of water be it the beach, river or pond. Algae are microscopic producers of sugars and oxygen in the aquatic environment. They come in a variety of colors: green, blue-green, brown, , golden-brown , and red. Since they are microscopic, binocular compound microscopes can be used to study their physical and chemical properties and characteristics. Algae can be phytoplankton, kelp forests, or stone and rock surface coverings. (more…)
The article discusses the pathogen, life cycle, clinical disease, prevention, immune response, detection, and epidemiology of Coccidiosis.
Coccidiosis, as defined in the original article, is an animal disease caused by a protozoan parasite. This protozoan parasite can be examined using binocular compound microscopes. Binocular compound microscopes are used to differentiate the seven species of Eimeria that is known to cause this disease in chickens. The seven Eimeria species, classified using binocular compound microscopes are Eimeria acervulina, E. brunetti, E. maxima, E. mitis, E. necatrix, E. praecox, and E. tenella. (more…)
Conspicuous whitish veils which cover the surface of sulfidic sediment) at water depths of 0 to 0.5 m in Nivå Bay were observed from May to September in the years 1999 to 2001. Mostly present in calm waters briefly after periods of windy weather, the veils were developed when wind actions bring decaying sea grass and macro algae within the sulfidic marine sediment near the place where the veil develops. This propelled the researchers to examine and study the morphology and veil formation of the organism causing this veil formation. (more…)
The original article talks about bacteria and how they affect and react to bacteria. Bacteria are minute microorganisms that can be seen in a compound microscope. (more…)
