Photographic Documentation of an Insect

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The only specimen examined was found when searching for insects sitting on a wall of a house in the Morávka village (Fig. 2) in the Moravskoslezské Beskydy Mts in the NE part of the Czech Republic (Fig. 1). The specimen was photographed alive (see Figs 3,6) by means of a digital camera Canon EOS 450D with a macro lens Canon MP-E 65 mm 1-5× and ring macro flash Canon MR-14EX. Because the insect moved rapidly is was immediately captured for further study. The specimen was caught into a vial and killed by ethyl acetate. The dead dry specimen was subsequently photographed by means of a modified ore microscope with an attached body of Canon EOS 450D. It was manually repositioned upwards between each exposure and the final photographs were compiled from multiple layers (30-35) using Helicon Focus 7. The obtained images were edited in Adobe Photoshop CS6. After photography the specimen was put into a vial with 70% ethanol. Identification was done by the first author. The voucher specimen is deposited in SMOC -Slezské zemské muzeum, Opava, Czech Republic.
Abbreviations: AOL -minimum distance between posterior ocellus and anterior ocellus; F1, F2, etc. -funicle segments one, two, etc.; FV -minimum width of frontovertex; POL -minimum distance between posterior ocelli.

Tongue Papillae Visualization and Quantification

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The researcher stained the front section of participants’ tongues using blue coloring on sterile cotton swab, allowing FP to be visualized. The participant rested his or her chin on a table-mounted chin rest, and held their tongue between a specially-constructed transparent holder. This consisted of two clear plastic slides (VWR International), 25 mm × 77 mm in dimension, fastened together with a screw and bolt, and containing a 6 mm diameter white adhesive circle. 3–5 photographs were taken of the tongue in a flat plane. Photographs were taken with a Canon EOS Rebel T3i camera used in manual mode with the following settings: ISO 800, Aperture: 29 (F29), shutter speed: 1/200. The focus on the lens was set to automatic focus (AV mode). The procedure was carried out in a darkened interior room without windows or other ambient light, using a macro ring light attachment, Canon MR-14EX, which was set in ETTL mode at −1. Pictures were transferred to a computer and using Adobe Photoshop CS5.1, the images were enlarged and the number of FP within a circle of 6 mm in diameter was counted, for two areas, on the left and right of the midline of the tongue, near the tip. Previous research has found this to be the optimum area for counting FP. An average for both areas was obtained and this number converted to FP per cm2. Two researchers independently counted each tongue.

Implant Defect Measurement Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Initially, the absence of a buccal bone defect was verified after implant installation and a standardized photograph was taken. The camera was positioned on a tripod with an angulation perpendicular to the area of ​​interest and a periodontal probe (PCP-UNC 15, Hu-Friedy, Chicago, USA). In addition, the position, lens magnification and framing of each photograph was standardized using the following equipment: EOS Rebel T5i reflex camera, macro lens (EF 100 mm f / 2.8L IS USM) and circular flash Mr 14ex (Canon inc, Tokyo, Japan); the values ​​of 1/125 for shutter speed, F25 for aperture and ISO 100 were selected.
The number of buccal defects present in each group was counted. Further, the height, width, and area of ​​the defect (Fig. 1) in the buccal and lingual aspect were measured with software (ImageJ—National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, USA). Measurements in pixels were converted to approximate values in millimeters using the periodontal probe as a reference.

Morphological Analysis of Rhabdomastix

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The morphological terminology adopted here essentially follows McAlpine (1981) . Designation of the wing veins is given in Fig. 1, and some special parts of the female terminalia of Rhabdomastix are referred to in Fig. 3 (cf. also figures in Starý 2003 , 2004 ). Female terminalia were prepared by boiling in a solution of 10% KOH and preserved in glycerine in a small plastic tube pinned below the associated specimen. Line drawings were made using a drawing tube (camera lucida) attached to a compound microscope. Measurements were made using an ocular grid. Live specimens were photographed in special boxes by a digital camera (Canon EOS 60D) with a macro lens (Canon MP-E 65 mm 1–5×) and a ring macro flash (Canon MR-14EX).

Quantitative Skin Color Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
This technique is based on digital photography with a standard camera (Canon, EOS 1 with Compact Macro Lens, EF 50 mm) equipped with a circular flash (Macro Ring Lite, MR-14EX) fixed to a macro objective. By the use of a polarizing filter it is possible to eliminate the influence of the skin surface with the result that the skin color can be quantitatively determined. This means the visual color impression of the age spot is assessed and not the exact quantification of skin pigments such as melanin.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The curcumin in PBS at pH = 7.4 and in the polymeric nanoparticles was topically applied to the CAM via the silicone rings as 30 µL aliquots on ED9. The concentration of curcumin was maintained at 10 µM in the 30 µL solutions. The fluorescence of curcumin in CAM tissue was recorded with a digital camera (Canon EOS 6D II with Canon MP-E 65 mm f/2.8, macro lens, Canon, Tokyo, Japan) in intervals 0, 1, 3, 5, and 24 h after compound administration. The CAMs were illuminated using either white light (ring flash Canon MR-14EX, Tokyo, Japan) or custom-made circular LED light emitted at 405 nm. The fluorescence intensity was evaluated using Image J software (NIH, Bethesda, MA, USA). The red intensity of RGB images was normalized to the maximum values. Whole-image profile plots (ImageJ plugin) were derived each time after curcumin administration: Before administration and from 0 (right after administration) up to 24 h.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
This was the control group. The teeth were not sectioned.
The acrylic blocks containing all specimens (n = 53) were mounted in the universal testing machine (Instron). The load was applied to each tooth in a labial to lingual direction by means of a reinforced stainless-steel wedge at a speed of 1 mm/min. The force required to fracture the tooth was recorded in Newtons (N) using an onscreen calibration tool.
Fractured surfaces of all the teeth were photographed using a digital camera Canon 550D with EF-S 60 mm macro lens and flash MR-14EX at 1:1 magnification. The surface area of the fractured surface of crowns, embedded in the blocks, was measured using AutoCAD software in mm2. The pressure required to fracture teeth was calculated dividing the Force (N) by area of the fractured surface (mm2). The results were tabulated into Microsoft Excel sheet and subjected to statistical analysis (SPSS - Statistical Package for the Social Sciences UNICOM Systems, Inc).
