Oscilloscope Response Paper

Superior Essays
The experimenters followed their experimentation with analysis of the data obtained. The experimenters first contemplated the applicability of the Probe Comp test signal to biological systems. The experimenters reasoned that the test signal was not an effective description of a biological system because the test signal did not exhibit the noise present in biological systems. While considering the observations of the oscilloscope and biological systems, the experimenters considered which settings on the oscilloscope with regard to the gain of both the probe and the oscilloscope that would be most effective in observing biological signals. Through their considerations, the experimenters concluded that the most effective settings would be 1x on the probe and 10x on the oscilloscope because (1) the experimenters reasoned that the signals obtained from biological systems would be of a low voltage and may be hidden in significant biological …show more content…
That being said, the experimenters noted some values to be inconsistent with the accepted values, namely the values obtained for the CMRR of each amplifier, as the CMRR values were significantly lower than the accepted values, and the CMRR value for the instrumentation amplifier was less than the CMRR value for the differential gain amplifier, as the converse is supposed to be true. The experimenters believed that equipment capabilities or noise in the environment and circuit may have contributed to the inconsistency of the data collected to the accepted values. The experiment could be performed in a Faraday cage, as such a device would diminish the noise observed by the experimenters as originating from both the oscilloscope and themselves. Further investigation may also be required to ascertain the source of this

    Systematic Errors Systematic errors occur in experimental observations, and usually come from the measuring instruments used. The reasons why systematic errors can occur might be because there is something wrong with the instrument used to gather the data, or its data handling system may have issues. Another reason may be because the instrument used for gathering the data is wrongly used by the person collecting data. There are two types of systematic error when using instruments that have a linear response: - Offset/ zero setting error:…

    Abstract This experiment was a study of the different properties of a lipid bilayer. We used fluorescent microscopy to study the lateral diffusion of lipids and binding properties biotin and anti-biotin. The effect cholesterol has on the fluidity of the membrane was tested using Fluorescent Recovery After Photobleaching (FRAP). We used a Nikon Eclipse 50i upright fluorescent microscope with a Digital Sight DM-2MBW CCD camera to take images of the bilayer after photobleaching.…

    The study of microbiology requires not only understanding the microscopic organisms, but also the understanding of lab techniques and procedures used to identify, control, and manipulate microorganisms. The identification of microorganisms is not only important in microbiology lab, but also in the medical field to identify an agent of a disease that will help treat the patient by using the correct antibiotics to kill off the host. In this unknown lab report, techniques and procedures learned in the microbiology laboratory during the semester that was performed to test ones practical understanding of microbiology. The sole purpose of the unknown lab is to demonstrate understanding of the experimental methods and lab techniques learned during…

    The Effect of Dri-Contrad on Phagocytosis in Tetrahymena Methods: A control group of Tetrahymena was first made up of 450 microliters of Tetrahymena and 450 microliters of carbon solution in a microcentrifuge tube and a timer was immediately started. 100 microliters of iodine were added to three other microcentrifuge tubes which were labeled C3, C6, and C9 to act as a stop solution by killing the Tetrahymena. At three minutes, 100 microliters of solution were pipetted from the control tube to the tube labeled C3. This process was repeated at 6 and 9 minutes. A wet mount was then made of 50 microliters from each C3, C6, and C9 tube to their corresponding glass slide.…

    An experiment was performed to analyze the effects of heat shock in yeast called Saccharomyces cerevisiae, to assess the hypothesis that yeast extracts up-regulate gene expression during heat shock the same way bacteria cells up-regulate gene expression during heat shock. In bacteria cells, heat shock causes the bacteria to up-regulate gene expression and produce more proteins. Similarly, gene expression and protein production increases in yeast during heat shock. Therefore, the experiment was conducted to test the expression of a particular gene, called HSP 30, in yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae), grown in liquid culture. Yeast strains with GFP-tagged transgenes were used.…
