laboratory where sputum from the patient is tested for the Legionella bacteria using a special medium. Another test used to detect Legionella is the direct fluorescent antibody in which the bacterium can be stained and becomes visible under a fluorescent microscope (Legionella, 2016). Blood tests are used to test for antibodies reactive against Legionella. Urine can also be used to detect Legionella.

Osmium is also used in making instrument pivots, a writing instrument. Osmium tetroxide, OsO4, the same material that is used to detect finger prints, is used to stain fatty tissue to distinguish it on a microscope slide. Osmium is not reactive until it is heated. When Osmium is heated it forms the higly toxic gas, Osmium Tetroxide. Although Osmium Tetroxide is a highly toxic and dangerous gas it has many different uses. Osmium doesn’t react with air at…

One similarity is the way that the disease is diagnosed, doctors and veterinarians use the same system to diagnose Ancylostomiasis.

MITOCHONDRIAL SRUCTURE Mitochondria can be seen in the light microscope, but their detailed internal structure is only revealed by electron microscopy. As ubiquitous, semi-autonomous cellular organelles, mitochondria are separated from the cytoplasm by the outer and inner mitochondrial membrane.The outer membrane is porous and freely traversed by ions and small, uncharged molecules through pore-forming membrane proteins (porins), such as the voltage-dependent anion channel VDAC [19]. Any larger…
