Cones eye

Recently I knocked from my fridgetop an adorable little bottle of Spanish balsamic vinegar my mom brought from Barcelona. I was feeling especially grounded that day and somehow, before it even struck the floor, I was over it. On a different day I might have sworn and fretted about it, cursed myself as I picked up its pieces, felt bad about wrecking a thoughtful gift from my mom, and pondered my chronic failure to keep my belongings organized and in good condition. One thought may have led to a

I knew how much of an impact our recent trip to Center Parcs had made when this past Saturday night, I listened to the boyf waxing lyrical about it, telling a crowd of people at our friends house warming , how everyone should go, and describing it in great, nostalgic detail. What’s even funnier though, is aside from having a reverent audience, yet again, there were a few people who immediately ‘admitted’ that they had been Starting with the human eye….

MIT researchers have come up with a retinal implant that sends images from a glasses-mounted camera directly to the brain, via the optic nerve.  Intended to bring some degree of vision back to the blind, the system should begin real-world testing in around three years time, according to MIT electrical engineering professor John Wyatt. While the vision the implant allows for won’t be as clear as true 20/20 sight, what it will do is allow users to recognize faces and navigate more freelyCone cells, or cones, are photoreceptor cells in the retina of the eye that function best in relatively bright light.

Back in the early 1940’s when fluorescent sources were beginning to affect the way we thought about light and color rendering, a scientist that worked for Philips named Arie Andries Kruithof performed some informal tests on how the human eye relates the amount of light in a given time of day to the color temperature of the light source.  Typically, human beings like higher color temperature light sources during the daytime hours, and lower color tempe

HYDROPONIC TOMATO PLANTS VIDEO Coir Hydroponics, which literally means, “working water,” is the development of plant life with no soil. The grower provides  the plants with every one of the nutrients they would usually acquire from the soil, through water in its place. Hydroponics can  be used on a mass production level, or it can certainly be scaled down for use by the home gardener equally well with excellent results.

The results demonstrate the potential for such methods to eventually cure human vision disorders, from color blindness to possibly other conditions leading to full blindness. The primate patients, named Dalton and Sam, are two adult, male squirrel monkeys that were red-green color-blind since birth – a condition that similarly affects human males more than females.

People with red-green colour blindness find it difficult to tell red hues from green ones because of a fault in a single gene. Their inheritance robs them of one of the three types of colour-sensitive cone cells that give us colour vision. With modern technology, scientists might be able to insert a working copy of the gene into the eye of a colour-blind person, restoring full colour vision.   You might think that the brain and eye would need substantial rewiring to make use of the new harDate: September 17, 2009 Title: Top Ten Telescope Mistakes for Beginners Podcaster: Robin Scagell Link:   www.stargazing.org.uk Description: You've just bought your very first telescope, and you're excited by all the wonders you're going to see and the things you're going to discover.
