What's the difference between microscopist and microscopy?
Microscopist
Definition:
(n.) One skilled in, or given to, microscopy.
Example Sentences:
(1) In blood smears, the hybridization procedure provides a rapid detection of (low) parasitemia and species-determination for experienced microscopists at 100 to 400x magnification.
(2) The evaluation of the blood platelets aggregation, by means of Breddin's method, is rather long and, moreover, the subjective elements connected with the microscopist's experience, fall on it.
(3) Statistical techniques known as the analysis of variance make it possible for the electron microscopist to plan work in such a way as to get quantitative data with the greatest possible economy of effort.
(4) Results show unexpectedly high values for the 2 measures in relation to the overall means in all 10 urine samples, and analyses of variance confirm that there are large variations between aliquots of equal volume drawn from the same urine specimen, highly significant in all 10 urine specimens; variations between microscopists are considerably lower and only highly significant in one urine specimen.
(5) The lateral boundaries of the alveoli do not regularly follow the crests of the polygonal ridges and thus their staining with silver cannot account for the external lattice seen by light microscopists.
(6) GH secreting chromophobic tumors contain secretory granules of abnormal size and concentration which are invisible to the light microscopist.
(7) Electron microscopy of peripheral nerve tissue by SEM and TEM facilitates a better understanding of the complex nerve architecture described by early light microscopists.
(8) Oocytes in primordial ("resting") follicles in adult human ovaries contain a complex paranuclear structure identified by light microscopists as Balbiani's vitelline body.
(9) There is no suggestion that these epithelioid cells are either degenerative or undifferentiated forms of smooth muscle cells, as postulated by light microscopists.
(10) We show that a number of techniques are available to the microscopist which yield adequate contrast and high resolution.
(11) Rural health centers should employ a polyvalent microscopist who is trained to recognize gonococcus in stained smears.
(12) Its use may be appropriate in situations like busy blood banks and outpatient clinics where rapid screening of malaria infection is needed but where experienced malaria microscopists may not be available.
(13) The modification aids the microscopist in his evaluation of tissue structural relationships by providing large areas of tissue for examination and reduces significantly the time required to prepare and examine standard 1-2 mm2 electron microscopy tissue sections.
(14) Many physicians other than electron microscopists find it essential to have an understanding of the contributions and limitations of electron microscopy.
(15) Finally, evidence is presented showing that electron microscopists have come close to seeing cell structure in its living state.
(16) The method should be helpful identifying ribosomal contamination of subcellular preparations and if its specificity can be increased it may prove a useful addition to staining methods of the electron microscopist.
(17) Two methods for collecting fecal specimens for parasitologic examination were compared: the usual samples from different days to be studied separately ("triads") and the alternate procedure of mixing three daily specimens in a single flask with thimerosal-iodine-formaldehyde as preservative ("blend"), in order to save time and effort on the part of the microscopist.
(18) The interobserver and intraobserver agreement between two microscopists was independently assessed in a blind fashion to evaluate the reproducibility of the results of the quick diagnosis of Chlamydia trachomatis infection with direct immunofluorescence.
(19) Contrary to what is reported in many psychology texts, microscopists of the preformationist era in embryology, particularly Nicholas Hartsoeker and Antony van Leeuwenhoek, did not claim to have seen tiny homonculi, or fetuses, within human spermatozoa.
(20) Cells are marked on a television screen while the microscopist scans systematically from the top to the bottom of the counting box.
Microscopy
Definition:
(n.) The use of the microscope; investigation with the microscope.
Example Sentences:
(1) Morphological alterations in the lungs of pheasants after prolonged high-dosage administration of bleomycin sulfate were studied by light and electron microscopy.
(2) It has been shown by LM and transmission electron microscopy that cells with blebs are viable and capable of mitotic activity.
(3) Serially sectioned rabbit foliate taste buds were examined with high voltage electron microscopy (HVEM) and computer-assisted, three-dimensional reconstruction.
(4) High levels of spirochetes also were detected in diseased sites with phase-contrast microscopy.
(5) Transmission electron microscopy demonstrated that these blebs were devoid of organelles and microvilli; scanning electron microscopy revealed that the blebs were highly wrinkled and more numerous than were the projections observed in tissue from animals treated with testosterone alone, or in tissue from unoperated controls.
(6) Immunogold electron microscopy demonstrated that outer dense fibres were the predominant immunoreactive site.
(7) Adenomata taken from 25 patients with primary aldosteronism were observed by electron microscopy.
(8) Digestion of cytoplasmic components of horny cells was observed by electron microscopy, but both cell membranes and desmosomes remained intact.
(9) HCT were classified by light microscopy as benign (n = 22), intermediate (n = 30), and malignant (n = 13).
(10) The amount of intracellular, iodophilic, glycogen-like polysaccharide (IPS) present in cells of two strains of Streptococcus mutans at various stages of growth in a chemically defined medium was determined by quantitative electron microscopy.
(11) This study examined the immunohistochemical findings in renal arterioles from biopsy specimens, and related the findings to those of light and electron microscopy.
(12) Light microscopy of both apneics and snorers revealed mucous gland hypertrophy with ductal dilation and focal squamous metaplasia, disruption of muscle bundles by infiltrating mucous glands, focal atrophy of muscle fibers, and extensive edema of the lamina propria with vascular dilation.
(13) Electron microscopy revealed the presence of a hitherto unreported peculiar "pilovacuolar" inclusion in numerous mitochondria, composed of an electron dense pile or rod within a vacuole, while globular or crystalline inclusions were absent.
(14) After permeabilization, with attendant partial extraction, the preparation can be fixed, then viewed by either deep-etch replication, or by high-resolution scanning electron microscopy, with structure of interest revealed in deep view.
(15) Neither light nor electron microscopy revealed significant morphologic alterations in the cochlear elements of the exposed offspring.
(16) Electron microscopy revealed a well-developed rough endoplasmic reticulum, an enlarged Golgi apparatus and many highly electron-dense secretory granules resembling those of Clara cells.
(17) Electron microscopy has been used to monitor the effect of detergent treatment on the morphology of the organism and to examine the detailed structure of the flagella.
(18) Using this monoclonal antibody in confocal microscopy, the subcellular localization of p52 in infected cells was analyzed.
(19) Electron microscopy showed that the clots consist mainly of a suspension of individual fibers, in contrast to clots made from native fibrinogen, which are highly branched.
(20) We have examined the arteries of pressure perfusion fixed animals of 9 months age by scanning electron microscopy.
