I have read what Dr. Loughran printed for SEM and what I have printed. It was the powerpoint about how to prepare the samples of SEM which is related with the lab that I am going to do. It explains that how to dry or freeze the samples such as mosquitoes or insects that have liquid (blood) in their bodies.

I have finally got the message from Brighid. She told me that she will have discuss with her boss and talk to me as soon as possible. I would be in few days. I also have been looking for answer for this question; is it a coincidence that this lunar eclipse occurs during a full moon?. I have got final answer.

=>> An eclipse of the Moon (or lunar eclipse) can //only// occur at Full Moon, and only if the Moon passes through some portion of Earth's shadow. That shadow is actually composed of two cone-shaped components, one nested inside the other. The outer or penumbral shadow is a zone where the Earth blocks part but not all of the Sun's rays from reaching the Moon. In contrast, the inner or umbral shadow is a region where the Earth blocks //all// direct sunlight from reaching the Moon.

I have been reading and going over what i have done with my project. I am kind of waiting for Brighid to send me email for doing ND lab. She has told me that she will send me email after talking with her boss(professor). I am going to have lab with Brighid at Notre Dame using SEM and observing various spieces of mosquitoes. So, I have googled the procedure and read the procedures that Brighid gave it to me.
