Dispersion

Dispersion

(Science: microscopy) The variation of refractive index with colour (or wave-length) of light. The spreading of white light into its component colours when passing through a glass prism is due to dispersion which, in turn, is due to the fact that the refractive index of transparent substances is lower for long wavelengths than for-short wavelengths. A measure of dispersion is defined as: nd - 1 v= nf-nC where nd = refractlve index at 589 nm (yellow), nf = 486 nm (blue), nC = 656 nm (red). The act of dispersing or diffusing something; the dispersion of the troops; the diffusion of knowledge.

Dispersing Agents For Cell Cultures

... *Later edit* I still havn't managed to find much. I was reviewing some past experimental notes, and we did a similar lab where we tested dispersion abilities of random agents, such as Collagenase, Accutase, HBSS, EDTA, Trypsin/EDTA, and Trypsin themselves. Im looking any other possible ...

help on correct descriptive statistics of a project

... you can certainly calculate both and compare the results. When you use means as your measure of central tendency, you have a natural indicator of dispersion in the variance or standard deviation. When you use the median, however, you have a bit of a problem with measures of dispersion. Typically ...

How to extract cellulomonas bacteria and rid the fungi?

... you use (I suspect you use/can use solid medium - use the standard spread culture method). At least on a very diluted sample, or after several dispersion steps, you should be able to see colonies emerging from single cells. Just pick a couple of these clonal colonies, plate them, and see how ...
