Structure of the Human Eye; Anatomy Overview and Functions
The eyes are a major organ in Humans similar to every other organism. It has a highly complex structural orientation which produces a sense of vision. It has complex receptors of light that can gather the surroundings and convert them into electrical signals/nerve impulses, which the brain processes and interprets to produce vision. Humans have binocular vision. It is the method by which both eyes can produce a single enlarged and wide image.
Electron Microscopy – Specimen Preparation, Types, and Application
The electron microscope was developed during the 1930s by Ernst Ruska and was first applied to biological specimens by Albert Claude, Keith Porter, and George Palade. The use of electron beams to deflect and focus that beam using electrostatic and magnetic coils or lenses is the basic principle of an electron microscope.
Nitrogen Fixation – Overview
The conversion of atmospheric nitrogen gas (N2) into ammonia (NH3) or other molecules that may be utilized as a source of nitrogen by plants and other organisms is known as nitrogen fixation, and it is a biological and chemical process.
