In the sequence they were processed, they were cut into microscopic slices of 4 μm and stained with hematoxylin and eosin (H&E).
The researchers combined microscopic imaging of slices of fly brains, which reveal the delicate tracks of individual neurons, with "patch-clamp" measurements that can record electrical impulses travelling along particular nerve filaments.
It was here that the basic term of modern biology appeared, as Hooke identified in a slice of cork a microscopic geometry akin to the honeycomb's.
The term "micromechanics" refers to the dynamic behaviour of a radial slice of the cochlea at the microscopic level.
Recently, Pierre Haenecour, a graduate student at Washington University in St . Louis painstakingly searched through a thin slice of LaPaZ with a variety of sensitive microscopic techniques.
Moreover, record labels, music publishers and artists' managers all want to be sure that their slice of any digital pie, no matter how microscopic, is equal to or bigger than what it was in the world of record stores and CD's.
I was not able to help taking a thin slice of the lower epiphysis with a chisel for microscopic examination.
When the silica-containing fluid picks up impurities, colorful and opaque types of quartz can form, like a slice of Brazilian agate on display, with its milky bands of microscopic crystals, or a piece of grape-colored amethyst.
By contrast with earlier references in which a reduced 3D model was built on a slice of the helical structure, the contribution of this paper is to propose a 2D microscopic model.
