MICROMANIPULATOR IN TRACE ANALYSIS
Micro Support Micromanipulator for Separation of Paint Layers in Trace Analysis.
Background
The Mississippi State Crime Lab (Jackson, MS) handles a wide range of trace analysis cases. One particular interest for the crime lab was the ability of the Micro Support Axis Pro micromanipulator to separate paint layers in a multi-layer paint sample.
Steve’s Solutions: Methane and Trees
We have been following the outstanding work of Dr. Pangala since early 2018 -at that time a postdoctoral fellow at The Open University in U.K.- and her colleagues on the elucidation of methane budget of Amazon floodplain trees. In 2014, they setup a 2-month
expedition in Amazonia during which they recorded in-situ the methane emissions from about 2400 trees in several floodplains. This thorough survey allowed to demonstrate that an approximate 20 tons of methane were released yearly through the Amazon trees -essentially those in the extensively flooded forests.
These recent findings on Methane emissions by trees pose new challenges to the environmental community.
