  5. Condenser (optics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Condenser_(optics)

    Abbe condensers are difficult to use for magnifications of above 400X, as the aplanatic cone is only representative of a numerical aperture (NA) of 0.6. This condenser is composed of two lenses, a plano-convex lens somewhat larger than a hemisphere and a large bi-convex lens serving as a collecting lens to the first.

    They sell a digital camera for ~US$230 that attaches to any regular microscope, or have dedicated digital ones for ~$270 (40x max). If you want a higher magnification than that, you need to go into the $1000+ range. -- 174.21.224.109 06:56, 29 January 2010 (UTC) Since when are dry optical microscopes limited to under 400x?

  7. Streptococcus pyogenes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streptococcus_pyogenes

    Chains of S. pyogenes bacteria (orange) at 900× magnification Gram stain of Streptococcus pyogenes. Unlike most bacterial pathogens, S. pyogenes only infects humans. Thus, zoonotic transmission from an animal (or animal products) to a human is rare. [8] S. pyogenes typically colonizes the throat, genital mucosa, rectum, and skin. Of healthy ...

    As a result of cholinergic crisis, the muscles stop responding to the high synaptic levels of acetylcholine, leading to flaccid paralysis, respiratory failure, and other signs and symptoms reminiscent of organophosphate poisoning. Other symptoms include increased sweating, salivation, bronchial secretions along with miosis (constricted pupils).
