Tarsila do Amaral and Glete de Alcântara: history in art and photography
Rafael Alcantara de Camargo1, Luciana Barizon Luchesi1, Fernando Porto2
1Universidade de São Paulo. Ribeirão Preto, São Paulo, Brazil.
Objectives:
to analyze the canvas "Retrato de Glete de Alcântara" (freely translated as Portrait of Glete de Alcântara) and discuss the effect of the canvas for Tarsila do Amaral and for Brazilian nursing.
Methods:
a study in the historical perspective, in the field of visual culture, with analysis in two phases: pre-iconography and iconography.
Results:
Tarsila do Amaral brings up the woman Glete de Alcântara without the attributes that identify nursing. In this sense, the representation of women on the canvas is a person aligned with the hairstyle of her time, elegantly dressed, with seriousness and haughtiness accentuated by a fixed and directed look.
Final Considerations:
an attempt was made to advance beyond Glete de Alcântara's professional life and her portrayed relationship networks, as well as to approach Tarsila do Amaral's trajectory, beyond the aesthetics and recognition gained.

Lampbrush Chromosomes
LBCs are made up of two pairs of conjugating homologous chromatids. Each chromatid consists of alternatively positioned regions of condensed-inactive chromatin and loosely placed-active side loops, which can be contracted and extended. The loops resemble the...
Phase Contrast and Differential Interference Contrast Microscopy
In-phase-contrast microscopes, interference between light directly passing through a cell and light refracted by cellular components is used to create high-contrast, high-resolution images without staining. It is the oldest and simplest type of microscope that creates an image by altering the wavelengths of light rays passing through the specimen. Altered wavelength paths are created using an annular stop in the condenser. The annular stop produces a hollow cone of...
