From Dima:<\/strong>\u00a0Melinda, you signed up for a summer internship project that will take a lot of your time and effort. This will not be easy. Please set your expectations that there will be a lot of work to do. Your parents will probably be checking this page and keep bothering you on \u201cwhy you didn\u2019t update this page for 2-3-4-5\u2026 days now?\u201d Remember, all you will get from this is a piece of paper that will state that you passed (or failed) summer internship at biotechnology company in Austin, TX.<\/p>\n

Please use this page as your science notebook for your summer internship \u2013 all your answers, observations, questions, and results \u2013 all should be added here on this page (you can add text and post pictures here; using this page will also teach you how to use the WordPress platform). I will be adding comments here as well. Please feel free to call me anytime at 512-350-0302 (if I don\u2019t answer the phone just type your comments here and I will respond back on this page).<\/p>\n

Please start with internet research regarding the instrument you received by answering the following questions (copy\/paste will not work, you will need to perform the internet research using google.com and then write your own answers to the following questions):<\/p>\n

Model and name of the instrument: Labomed CXL Monocular Microscope<\/p>\n

What is it used for? To study small objects such as tissues, cells , and mitcondria.<\/p>\n

Who needs it?<\/p>\n

What parts is it made of? Stand,Eyepiece,Nosepiece,Objectives,Mechanical Stage,Condenser.<\/p>\n

How does it work? Describe in great detail.<\/p>\n

Were you able to find an instrument manual online? Yes<\/p>\n

Read the manual. Describe what was clear in the manual and what was confusing. It was clear in the manual how to turn on the microscope and how to make the microscope to focus on the sample. It was confusing to understand how the microscope works.<\/p>\n

Read the details on what is Histology, how H&E works, how to identify different type of cells and tissue (how different disease cells\/tissues look?):<\/p>\n

After you have completed internet research, try to turn on the instrument and see what happens. Make a picture and post it here. You may be missing power cord and\/or adapter cables (find out what cords\/cables\/adapters are missing, find missing part on Amazon or Ebay, and post Amazon\/Ebay link here, so I can get you the missing part). Some instruments been in storage and are very dusty \u2013 clean them with Windex spray and paper towels (your parents got a cleaning supplies cabinet somewhere in your house, find it).<\/p>\n

Try to operate the instrument using the manual \u2026 is it working? Do you need certain supplies to make it work? Find the catalog numbers (from the manual) of the required supplies, where from they are available and post here links of what we need to order. Post here results of your testing, and how do you plan to move forward.<\/p>\n

This is your notebook now \u2026 write and post answers and pictures below:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Melinda:<\/strong> This is how it looks when I turned on the microscope.\u00a0I didn\u2019t know how to make it focus on an object so I decided to find a manual on the internet to learn how to use the microscope properly.<\/p>\n

I followed the manual instructions and was able to figure out how to use the microscope.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

So far I got to get the microscope to focus by following the directions of the manual. The manual really helped me figure out how to use the microscope properly by following all the directions given me step by step. Down below are the pictures I got by taking a picture from the phone. So far so good!<\/p>\n

Melinda:<\/strong> I plan to move forward by every day studying different samples that I have and to also compare them from other samples by writing notes. Also, I really don\u2019t know yet how to figure out what each part of the cell is called but I will figure that out.<\/p>\n
