Imaging

Well days have been slow at the lab, but today I at least got to learn a new technique - taking pictures of slides through microscopes.  It was pretty cool; first the microscope was used just as any other, but it was hooked up to a computer so that you could see what was in the microscope on the computer screen.  Then you could change the exposure, color, and other things to get the image you wanted! Today we were taking pictures of the nerve cross sections, and then the diameter of cells was analyzed.  That was pretty much all that went on today, other than emptying the freezer for the 3rd time. Good grief!
