Abstract:
One of the purposes of investigating the mechanisms of Weigert's effect in azo-dye-colored materials is the search for ways to improve their corresponding characteristics. So far the suggested mechanisms based on the isomerization process of the molecules of the dyes do not account for some facts that take place in this case. I present some results of the investigation of Weigert's effect in azo-dye-colored materials and propose a possible new mechanism.

Effects of EDTA on End-Point Detection Methods
In the visual method, metal-ion indicators (metallochromic dyes), which have distinct colors in their free and complex forms, are added to the mixture to signal the titration's end point. They form stable complexes with metal ions, but these complexes are weaker than the corresponding metal–EDTA complexes. As a result, EDTA...
Fixation and Sectioning
The simplest type of preparation is the wet mount, in which the specimen is placed in a drop of liquid on the slide. A liquid specimen can be directly deposited on the slide using a dropper. Solid specimens, such as skin scraping, can be placed on the slide before adding a drop of liquid to prepare the wet mount. Sometimes the liquid is simply water, but stains are often added...
