Shedding Light on Light*
There are four books describing early studies and views on light, optics and vision that are considered to be landmarks in this branch of science. The first of these is Euclid’s Optica, published about 300BC, in which he postulated that light travelled in straight lines; he described the laws of reflection and described them mathematically. The second is by Ptolemy. He is best known for his 15 ...
متن کاملShedding light on NSOM.
I took patience and hard work. Now, finally, researchers are seeing some sunshine break through what was once a cloudy beginning for near-field scanning optical microscopy (NSOM). Paul Barbara of the University of Texas–Austin (UT– Austin) is among a group of analytical chemists who have a deep respect for this tool and see it as a technique ripe with potential, ranging from chemistry to physic...
متن کاملShedding Light on Adaptation
One of the most remarkable features of the vertebrate retina is its ability to adapt to ambient illumination. One can read from this page by candlelight or one can read from it on a sunny afternoon, but the page always appears white and the letters black. It is the molecular trickery of light adaptation that enables photoreceptors to evade saturation and accurately report relative contrast even...
متن کاملInvasive Fungal Infections after Natural Disasters
The link between natural disasters and subsequent fungal infections in disaster-affected persons has been increasingly recognized. Fungal respiratory conditions associated with disasters include coccidioidomycosis, and fungi are among several organisms that can cause near-drowning pneumonia. Wound contamination with organic matter can lead to post-disaster skin and soft tissue fungal infections...
متن کاملShedding light on endomitosis.
Zhang et al have taken this transla-tional medicine approach full circle by assessing the capacity of A11 to clear arterial throm-bus in 2 murine stroke models. Although A11 showed considerable promise in these studies, restoring blood flow, for example, when administered 2 hours after carotid artery occlu-sion, the most dramatic and encouraging findings were obtained with a second-generation d...
