Imaging Biological Samples with Optical Microscopy

Imaging Biological Samples with Optical Microscopy

Optical microscopy uses optic principles to provide detailed images of samples. Antonie van Leeuwenhoek designed the first compound optical microscope in the 17th century to visualize blood cells, bacteria, and yeast cells. In 1830, Joseph Jackson Lister created an essentially modern light microscope. The 20th century saw the development of microscopes with enhanced magnification and resolution.
In optical microscopy, the specimen to be viewed is placed on a glass slide and clipped on the stage...

Focusing of Light in the Eye

Focusing of Light in the Eye

Light rays enter the eye through the cornea, a transparent dome-shaped tissue that is the eye's outermost layer. The cornea bends or refracts, light rays traveling to the pupil. The shape of the cornea determines how much of the light is bent and whether the image will be focused correctly on the retina at the back of the eye. Once the light has passed through both refraction layers, it converges into a single focal point onto a small area. This is where photoreceptors start transforming...

Light Acquisition

Light Acquisition

In order to produce glucose, plants need to capture sufficient light energy. Many modern plants have evolved leaves specialized for light acquisition. Leaves can be only millimeters in width or tens of meters wide, depending on the environment. Due to competition for sunlight, evolution has driven the evolution of increasingly larger leaves and taller plants, to avoid shading by their neighbors with contaminant elaboration of root architecture and mechanisms to transport water and nutrients.

Area of Science:

Osteopathic Medicine
Medical Education
Accreditation Standards

Background:

Since 1999, the American Osteopathic Association (AOA) mandates postdoctoral training programs join an Osteopathic Postdoctoral Training Institution (OPTI) consortium.
Various AOA tools assist colleges in meeting OPTI accreditation standards and examining OPTI operations.

Purpose of the Study:

To examine Osteopathic Postdoctoral Training Institution (OPTI) operations.
To assess the effectiveness of AOA tools in supporting OPTI programs.

Main Methods:

Utilized the revised OPTI Annual Report, modeled after the OPTI Standards Inspectors Worksheet.
Conducted onsite inspections in 2008 and 2009.
Administered a survey in 2009 to gather responses on OPTI operational questions.

Main Results:

Onsite inspections in 2008 and 2009 yielded commendations for OPTI research and faculty/curriculum development.
The 2009 OPTI Annual Report survey identified commonalities across various OPTI operations.

Conclusions:

OPTI programs demonstrate strengths in research and faculty development.
Standardized reporting tools like the OPTI Annual Report facilitate the examination of operational commonalities within OPTI consortia.
