    Question 1 Microscopy Is the Technical Field of Using Microscopes to View Objects and Areas of Objects That Cannot Be Seen with Seen with the Naked Eye

    Question 1 Microscopy is the technical field of using microscopes to view objects and areas of objects that cannot be seen with seen with the naked eye. Microscopy dates back to the 17th- century. In the first century A.D Seneca described actual magnification by a globe of water. The first modern application of optics occurred in Florence around 1280 A.D with the use of glasses as an aid to vision. The early history of the microscope and its inventors is shrouded in much confusion. Credit for the first compound microscope is given to Hans Jansen or his son Zacharias around 1595. The description of Jansen’s microscope was preserved until the early 1600’s. The instrument consisted of three sliding tubes measuring 18 inches in length when fully extended and two inches in diameter. The microscope was said to have a magnification of 3 x when closed and 9 x when fully extended. In the 18th century many mechanical improvements were made in the microscope but images had colourful haloes and were blurry. As the lenses multiplied, so did the distortions. The best simple microscopes attain about two micron resolutions but the best compound resolutions only had five micron resolution. The colour haloes are due to chromatic aberration. This is when light is transmitted through a substance and it will be bent different amounts depending upon its wavelength. This means that a lens will have a different focus for different colours of light. The solution to this problem came not from microscopes but telescopes in the 1730’s.

    2021 Celebrating and recognising the achievements of women www.visitbradford.com/iwd March 2021 Celebrations across Bradford District #ChooseToChallenge Life for Dance A message from the Leader of Bradford Council Councillor Susan Hinchcliffe The theme for this year’s International Women’s Day 2021 is #ChooseToChallenge. All of us in society have a right to challenge attitudes, behaviours, prejudices and with that challenge comes change and making a difference for a more equal and fairer future for girls and women across the district. Over the last year we have all been working very differently as we have faced the many challenges this global pandemic has thrown at us. Every one of us has had to make some real lifestyle changes from not seeing family and friends face to face, working from home on a full time basis, home schooling to ensuring we stay fit and healthy. So this year we want to celebrate International Women’s Day in how women have stepped up to the challenge and have had to adapt in the roles they hold from senior management to those on the front line or to those who have had to juggle home working and home schooling to achieve the best outcomes for all. As women we should feel proud of what we have accomplished over the year. Bradford has such a rich and vibrant history of the many women who have inspired us all by breaking all boundaries through challenging traditional ideas which have helped to pave the way so that we too can make a difference in society.

    To Take Into Consideration the Propriety Of

    his was the subject for discussion amongst the seventeen microscopists who met at Edwin Quekett’s house No 50 Wellclose Square, in the Borough of Stepney, East London on 3rd September 1839. It was resolved that such a society be formed Tand a provisional committee be appointed to carry this resolution into effect. The appointed provisional committee of seven were to be responsible for the formation of our society, they held meetings at their homes and drew up a set of rules. They adopted the name ‘Microscopical Society of London’ and arranged a public meeting on the 20th December 1839 at the rooms of the Horticultural Society, 21 Regent Street. Where a Nathaniel Bagshaw Ward © National Portrait Gallery, London President, Treasurer and Secretary were elected, the provisional committee also selected the size of almost airtight containers.

His glass plant cases allowed the growth of orchids and ferns in the Victorian home and in 1842 he wrote a book on the subject. However glass was subject to a tax making cases expensive so Ward lobbied successfully for its repeal in 1845.

    Bradford's International Women's Day Programme

    2019 Celebrations across BRADFORD DISTRICT Come and enjoy a fantastic programme of inspirational talks, entertainment and activities taking place across the district celebrating and recognising the achievements of women www.bradford.gov.uk/iwd #BalanceforBetter Life for Dance A message from the Leader of Bradford Council Councillor Susan Hinchcliffe International Women’s Day is a global day celebrating the achievements of women in every sphere. Our programme in Bradford spans two weeks and celebrates some fantastic women from past and present – from Manningham’s pioneering women of the 19th century through to those who fought for women’s rights in the 20th century, to successful modern-day women such as a Paralympic cyclist and others in the worlds of business, sport, the media and beyond. Across the Bradford District we have terrific success stories of local women achieving great things. We have rising female employment and a surge in women entrepreneurs contributing to our vibrant culture and growing economy. But while we see many remarkable women in our own circles and in the public eye, it’s also a time to remember there are still staggering inequalities in this country and of course around the globe. This year’s programme tackles these serious issues while celebrating new opportunities and offering creativity, culture and community. It’s great to see so many hands-on activities this year and I urge you to get involved whatever your age or background. This year’s theme of #balanceforbetter calls for a more gender-balanced world. Whether it’s in the workplace, the home or in any other sphere, it’s not just a moral imperative for women to be able to contribute fully and fulfil their potential – it’s a common-sense one.

    'Our Street Gallery' Launched with Powerful Photographs Captured by Bradford Teens During Lockdown

    MEDIA INFORMATION FINAL Friday Jul 17, 2020 at 09:05 AM 'Our Street Gallery' launched with powerful photographs captured by Bradford teens during lockdown A powerful photography project depicting the experiences of Bradford teenagers during lockdown has launched ‘Our Street Gallery’; a new 12-month district-wide cultural project which is transforming the city’s streets into a canvas of images capturing moments and feelings of the people of the Bradford district. More than 50 stunning photographs taken by 13 – 18-year olds in isolation for the ‘Through Our Lens’ project – led by award-winning photographer Carolyn Mendelsohn – will illustrate billboards, sides of houses, pavements, lamp posts, windows and school railings across Bradford, Ilkley, Keighley and Shipley, ‘Through Our Lens’ is the first ‘episode’ of the street gallery project, with further episodes curated by the street gallery steering group over the next year. The street gallery will bring to life the incredible work created thanks to Bradford Council’s ‘RESPONSE’ grants, which launched in April to help the arts sector survive and thrive in the face of national Covid-19 lockdown measures and beyond. Shipley-based photographer Carolyn came up with idea for the original ‘Through Our Lens’ project at the beginning of lockdown, when nearly all her upcoming work was abruptly cancelled or postponed due to the pandemic, including an exhibition at Bradford’s Impressions Gallery. Having secured RESPONSE funding, and following an initial call out on social media and collaboration with Bradford College, Carolyn has now mentored more than 40 young people across the Bradford district in photography using a video platform and running online workshop sessions every week, with the resulting images posted on the project’s Instagram page (@through_our_lens_covid19_proj/).
