Who Needs a Battery Powered Microscope

Wednesday, August 22nd, 2007

There is an increasing number of people who use battery powered microscopes. The main reason behind this is its portability. Microscope users are able to utilize their equipment anywhere they want to without compromising the optical or mechanical quality of the subject being studied. Some arguments are brought up that battery powered microscopes have less […]

Different Types of Battery Powered Microscopes to Choose From

Wednesday, August 22nd, 2007

Among the useful microscopes today is the battery powered microscope. There are different types of battery powered microscopes according to the power source - they are the alternating current, rechargeable battery pack, regular alkaline batteries, and the combination type (AC power and batteries).

Pros and Cons of Using a Battery Powered Microscope

Wednesday, August 22nd, 2007

A battery powered microscope is an indispensable tool in science and various fields in the industry. Because of its relatively more compact size and source of power, a battery powered microscope is exceptionally useful for field exercises and experiments. If you are thinking of investing in one, consider the following pros and cons of using […]

Tips on How to Prolong the Life of a Battery Powered Microscope

Wednesday, August 22nd, 2007

If you are preparing for a solo trip to explore unknown territory for scientific pursuits, it’s very important that you learn how to prolong the life of a battery powered microscope. After all, your battery powered microscope is your most important equipment and without it, probably none of your goals would be attainable.

Features of a Quality Battery Powered Microscope

The features of a quality battery powered microscope are usually one step higher than typical battery powered microscopes designed for kids and equal or almost at par with those provided by microscopes more suitable for indoor use and are electrically powered.

Tension Pneumothorax

Tuesday, August 7th, 2007

Diagnosis and Treatment
The diagnosis of tension pneumothorax should be made on clin¬ical examination. The classic findings include respiratory distress (in an awake patient), hypotension, diminished breath sounds over one hemithorax, hyperresonance to percussion, jugular venous dis¬tention, and shift of mediastinal structures to the unaffected side with tracheal deviation. In most instances, empiric treatment with pleural […]

Vasodilatory Shock (Septic Shock)

Tuesday, August 7th, 2007

In the peripheral circulation, profound vasoconstriction is the typ¬ical physiologic response to arterial pressure that is insufficient for tissue perfusion, usually causing cardiogenic or hemorrhagic shock, as seen in tissue samples viewed under battery powered microscopes. In vasodilatory shock, hypotension results from failure of the vascular smooth muscle to constrict appropriately. Vasodila¬tory shock is characterized […]

Cardiogenic Shock

Tuesday, August 7th, 2007

Cardiogenic shock, in human anatomy and physiology, is defined clinically as circulatory pump failure leading to diminished forward how and subsequent tissue hypoxia in the setting of adequate intravascular volume. Hemodynamic crite¬ria include sustained hvpotension (i.e., SBP <90 mm Hg for at least 30 minutes), reduced cardiac index (<2.2 L/min per square meter) and elevated […]

Hemorrhagic or Hypovolemic Shock

Tuesday, August 7th, 2007

The most common cause of shock in the surgical or trauma patient is loss of circulating volume from hemorrhage. Acute blood loss results in reflexive decreased baroreceptor stimulation from stretch receptors in the large arteries, resulting in decreased inhibition of vasoconstrictor centers in the brain stem increased chemoreceptor stimulation of vasomotor centers and diminished output […]

Cellular Effects Of Shock

Tuesday, August 7th, 2007

Depending on the magnitude of the insult and the compensatory ability of the cells, the response at the cellular level, when viewed using a battery powered microscope, may be one of compensation, dysfunction, or death. The aerobic respiration appa¬ratus of the cell (i.e., oxidative phosphorylation by mitochondria), is the most susceptible to inadequate oxygen delivery […]
