  • 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.

  • 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. Together with George 3 x 1 inch as a standard for glass slides.

This Ward published in 1834 had their own background which we have briefly and eventually his cases enabled the introduction described on the following pages, as you will see of the tea plant to Assam from China and rubber they are a diverse range of professionals. plants to Malaysia from South America. 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.

Infectious diseases such as swine fl u, Salmonella, Escherichia coli, MRSA, multi-drug resistant tuberculosis, and AIDS have captured the national headlines in recent months. With each passing year, these headlines reveal that some new disease outbreak or plague threatens thousands of lives. For example, in 2009 the news fl ash “Swine Flu Threatens the Globe” was broadcast across the nation, alarming many people. The emergence of a new strain of fl u (H1N1) was said to place millions at risk. Today, we take for granted that germs cause disease, and many people fear them. Yet for centuries, the concept of germs was virtually unknown. Leprosy, plagues, and pestilence were diseases of mystery through most of history. The cause of infectious (or contagious diseases) was not known. Many speculated that mysterious miasmas caused sickness or that mysterious elements were spontaneously generated. Miasma was thought to be a poisonous gas- or vapor-fi lled particle of decaying miasmata (matter) that caused various sickness and disease. Today, the term germ is well known and refers to disease-causing microbes, that is, pathogens.

  • A Short History Of
    Formerly the Actors’ Orphanage Fund & the Actors’ Charitable Trust, TACT. A sketch of ACT’s history th to mark our 125 birthday by Robert Ashby, executive director Mrs Kittie Carson, wife of the editor of the Stage newspaper, became increasingly concerned about the welfare of actors and others connected with the theatre, particularly women and children. She felt that provision by other charities and friendly societies was inadequate; she disliked the requirement of several for one to be a member in order to benefit, that many had age restrictions, and that all were run by men. Mrs Carson’s first move in November 1891 was to found the Theatrical Ladies’ Guild (today The Theatrical Guild). Its purpose was quite simply to provide clothing, whether committee members’ cast-offs, donations from supporters, or items sewn and tailored by the Guild’s members themselves. Mrs Carson’s reasoning was that actresses who constantly travelled and who struggled to make ends meet, had no time to sew, and unemployed actresses certainly could not afford new clothes. Her new charity became closely linked with the Ladies’ Needlework Guild, and committee meetings seemed intertwined with ‘sewing bees’. Mrs Carson’s husband, Charles, alerted readers of the Stage to the need for help. The response from readers reinforced Mrs Carson’s sense of urgency in helping the profession’s children. Care of the young “would add solidity and prestige to the drama and its exponents”. Although the Actors’ Benevolent Fund had been asked repeatedly to take on responsibility for the children since 1888, it had been unwilling, already having so many incapacitated adult actors to support.

It travels from your heart to your extremities and returns, there and back again. Blood moves with the rapid current of the great arterial rivers and through the smallest capillary creeks. William Harvey first noticed circulation (1628) through the heart into arteries and veins; however, he could not see how they connected since he did not have a microscope. The man who first described this was Anton van Leeuwenhoek about 46 years later (1674). Then, J. J. Lister and Thomas Hodgkin described the rouleaux formation or stacking of RBCs through a capillary bed.

In contrast to his near contemporary, Florence Nightingale (1820-1910), over three hundred of whose letters had been acquired by the time of Sir Henry Wellcome's death (and many more since), Lister's was a sporadic and fleeting presence in the documentary collections until quite recent times. In 1981, the acquisition by the Wellcome Library of the most important surviving collection of Lister family papers still in private hands promised to shed new light on the personal life of England's greatest surgeon. But there remained unexplained gaps in the record, and the reluctance of Lister to emerge fully from the archival shadows merits exploration. In his will (26 June 1908), Lister requested that two of his trustees, his nephews Rickman John Godlee and Arthur Hugh Lister, "arrange [his] scientific manuscripts and sketches, destroying or otherwise disposing of such as are of no permanent scientific value or interest", and bequeathed the "manuscripts and sketches when so arranged to the Royal College of Surgeons of England". His diplomas and medals were left to Edinburgh University, with permission to destroy them if so desired. No particular provision was made for his non-scientific papers, his correspondence, his library or any other of his personal or family effects. A codicil dated 7 December 1909, after the death of his brother and senior trustee, Arthur, authorized the three surviving trustees to dispose of the "personal effects" not specified in the will, taking into account what they believed to be Lister's wishes.1 The insouciance of these instruments is belied by the much more precise instructions that Lister gave his trustees some time before Arthur Lister's death in July 1908.

Much of this research was completed at the Huntington Library in San Marino, California. The Dibner Library collection in particular provided a wealth of nineteenth-century science and technology texts. I must also thank the University of California, Los Angeles Special Collections archive and the UCLA Film and Television Archive, Research and Study Center. These collections were instrumental in forming my knowledge in the field of nineteenth-century science and British film and motion picture prior to 1905. Additionally, these institutions have graciously granted permission to me to publish materials and images housed in their archives. There are many other images in the dissertation which I feel greatly enhance the reading experience. Many of the images of Victorian British paintings are in the public domain and are being used under the “fair use” code of the U.S.
