Structure Of Matter

From the earliest years of the Society until the start of the Third Millennium, Fellows of the Society have been actively developing the microscope and its uses, from Robert Hooke's pioneering microscopy to the varied forms of the electron microscope. With it they have elucidated the structure of matter, from oolitic limestone to bread, and the nature of living organisms, from microbes in vinegar to current studies of DNA and the folding of proteins.

A team of physicists from Hong Kong has formally joined the ATLAS Collaboration at CERN since June, 2014. In 2012, the ATLAS Collaboration – along with the CMS Collaboration – co-discovered the Higgs boson. The discovery of the Higgs boson is widely regarded as a major step towards understanding the fundamental structure of matter and other mysteries of our universe. The admission of the Hong Kong team into ATLAS means, all these exciting opportunities of unveiling an era of new breakthroughs in fundamental physics, are now opened up to scientists and students from Hong Kong. The Hong Kong team plans to take up both hardware and software tasks on the muon detecting system and analysis of data to look for new physics.

The reasons for excess names in microfloral orchids such as Oberonia Lindl. can be traced to poor scholarship (e.g., failure to review the literature, ignoring expert advice), typological thinking, and erroneous assumption of microendemism. Some extraordinarily poor descriptions, including some from the 21st century, can be termed “taxonomic vandalism”. The outdated reliance on drawings as opposed to z-stacked photographs and scanning electron micrographs poses further problems due to an abundance of demonstrable problems with drawings. The Oberonia sect. Scytoxiphium Schltr. with eight described species is reduced to one species, Oberonia heliophila Rchb.f.; it is illustrated by original drawings, live photographs and scanning electron microscope images. The distribution is extended from Java through Micronesia and Samoa. The species occurs predominantly from 0–500 m, less frequently to 900 m, and possibly to even 1900 m. It flowers throughout the year. Keywords/Palabras clave: Oberonia, Oberonia sect. Scytoxiphium, revision, revisión, synonymies, sinonimias, taxonomic vandalism, vandalismo taxonómico

I have been asked to talk about the future of the electron microscope by the Chairman and cannot refuse because he was one of my students. On the other hand, I do not feel comfortable with the position because there is a very poor history in science on the matter of making predictions; they are always wrong.After giving it some thought, it would seem that the best thing that I can do is to discuss some of the problems that I can see with the instruments and suggest that the solutions to these problems will slide into the next century. That puts me on safe ground and perhaps may allow me to suggest some solutions myself.To start with, one can say that the business shows every sign of being, or becoming, a mature industry. The instruments become more and more expensive every year. They become generally larger, and there is more attention given to appearances. This is very similar to the automobile industry and is at gross variance with the computer industry where the functionality increases and the cost decreases every year. In the present climate of financial support (or the lack of it), this means that fewer instruments are sold every year, and this increases the price of those that are sold.

Laser Effect

While much is known regarding the effect of lasers on the retina, little study has been done on the effect of lasers on cornea, because of the limitation of the size of the material. Using a combination of electron microscope and several newly developed cytochemical methods, the effect of laser can now be studied on eye for the purpose of correlating functional and morphological damage. The present paper illustrates such study with CO2 laser on Rhesus monkey.

Cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) is a complex system of intracellular tubules that, due to their small size and juxtaposition to such electron-dense structures as mitochondria and myofibrils, are often inconspicuous in conventionally prepared electron microscopic material. This study reports a method with which the SR is selectively “stained” which facilitates visualizationwith the transmission electron microscope.
