Cell Size and Scale

That means that under the right conditions, you might be able to see an ameoba proteus, a human egg, and a paramecium without using magnification. A magnifying glass can help you to see them more clearly, but they will still look tiny. Smaller cells are easily visible under a light microscope. It's even possible to make out structures within the cell, such as the nucleus, mitochondria and chloroplasts. To see anything smaller than 500 nm, you will need an electron microscope.

Adenine The label on the nucleotide is not quite accurate. How can an X chromosome be nearly as big as the head of the sperm cell? No, this isn't a mistake. The X chromosome is shown here in a condensed state, as it would appear in a cell that's going through mitosis. A chromosome is made up of genetic material (one long piece of DNA) wrapped around structural support proteins (histones). Carbon. Emergency and Disaster Information Service.

The most important thing to remember is that we've chosen tasks that are best done by humans rather than computer, so please don't spend much more than a minute on a any single image. Crater Survey Tutorial First off, please watch this short video demonstrating the Crater Survey interface. In this task, you'll be shown a randomly selected image of the lunar surface. To mark them, click on the 'Crater' button, and click at the centre of each crater that you can see.

How the craters appear will depend on whether it was morning, midday or evening — the shadows will change dramatically over the course of a day. Once you've marked all the craters, you can click on the ellipse to stretch and move them so they mark the right size of crater. If none of the craters have boulders, then move on. Finally, don't forget to take time and look around the landscape!

Nachdem man sich lange Zeit mit der Begutachtung der Nachbarhäuschen von oben per Google Maps oder später dem Ablatschen des ehemaligen Schulwegs per Street View zufrieden gab, gilt es heute per Geotagging alle Fotos genauen Standorten zuzuordnen. Dieses Phänomen macht sich Eric Fischer zu Nutze, indem er bei flickr und picasa sämtliche Fotoalben durchforstet und deren Geodaten auf Open Street Map visualisiert. Dayofbirth.co.uk.

Ephemeris: Azimuth in the above table follows the astronomical convention: zero degrees is South with positive angles toward the West and negative angles toward the East.
