	Nikon MicroscopyU: Specimen Contrast in Optical Microscopy
		Specimen shading introduced by the compensator results in one side of the image appearing dark while the other side is brighter, leading to the perception of a pseudo three-dimensional image.
		When considering transparent phase specimens that are poorly imaged in brightfield illumination, the role of the specimen in altering the optical path length (in effect, the relative phase shift) of waves passing through is of paramount importance.
		A majority of phase specimens that are observed in culture vessels or sandwiched between a microscope slide and coverslip are relatively flat or plate-like as illustrated in Figure 4 for a hypothetical specimen immersed in a homogeneous medium.

	STEM Specimen Preparation, BNL Biology
		The ideal specimen for the STEM is one that can be applied to the grid in water or 20 mM ammonium acetate which volatilizes during freeze-drying.
		For a new specimen in an unusual buffer, a grid of TMV by itself washed with the buffer is made as a control.
		Some specimens, such as membrane proteins, have to be solubilized in a detergent and these are always difficult to work with although some successful results have been obtained.

	Basics of Specimen Collection and Handling of Urine Testing
		Random Specimen This is the specimen most commonly sent to the laboratory for analysis, primarily because it is the easiest to obtain and is readily available.
		This specimen is usually submitted for urinalysis and microscopic analysis, although it is not the specimen of choice for either of these tests.
		When a specimen is directly transferred from a collection cup into a preservative tube, it provides a stable environment for the specimen until testing can be conducted and reduces the risk of bacterial overgrowth or specimen decomposition.

		The original specimen is sealed and sent with the first CCF to the laboratory with an appropriate comment on the "Remarks" line to indicate that a direct observed specimen was also being collected and submitted to the laboratory.
		Note: When a second specimen is to be collected, HHS permits giving the donor a reasonable amount of fluid to drink to provide a second specimen distributed reasonably through a period of up to 3 hours, or until the donor has provided a new sufficient amount of urine, whichever occurs first.
		Note: Since the specimen bottle is now sealed with tamper-evident tape and does not have to be under the donor's direct observation, the donor is allowed to wash his or her hands if he or she desires to do so.

	AIDS Cancer Specimen Resource - Donate Specimens
		The AIDS and Cancer Specimen Resource (ACSR) is a resource of HIV and non-HIV infected tissues and other specimens for use by qualified investigators to facilitate their research.
		Blood specimens (one yellow and one red top tube) should be processed according to the ACSR guidelines, stored and shipped in batches directly to the ACSR using the same packaging and shipping guidelines as tissue.
		A second reason for the double package is that the specimens should be shipped at room temperature; the packaging of the small shipping container is sometimes not enough to protect the specimens from hot or cold extremes.

	Specimen Interaction
		Caused by an incident electron colliding with an atom in the specimen which is nearly normal to the incident's path.
		The collector is a grid or mesh with a +100V potential applied to it which is placed in front of the detector, attracting the negatively charged secondary electrons to it which then pass through the grid-holes and into the detector to be counted.
		Areas of the specimen that are thicker will have fewer transmitted unscattered electrons and so will appear darker, conversely the thinner areas will have more transmitted and thus will appear lighter.

	Specimen Preparation (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Some specimens (e.g., pollen grains which are tough as hell) can simply be air-dried and sprinkled on a sticky stub.
		This forces you to treat the specimen very gently in the course of removing water from it and coating it with the palladium/gold film which permits good SEM signals/images.
		If the specimen is large (e.g., plant tissue, insect), epoxy cement is the best way; if the specimen is on a flat support (see later) one of these sticky tabs is a good solution.

	Type Specimen Catalog of Fungi
		Work is underway to catalog the type specimens of fungi at the New York Botanical Garden Herbarium, as a continuation of the Type Specimen Catalog Project.
		The type specimens of rust fungi (Pucciniaceae) were completed several years ago, and types from recently incorporated herbaria (e.g., Tulane University, Kansas State University) have also been cataloged.
		Therefore, in addition to a transcription of the specimen label and an image of the specimen, type catalog records for fungi include text, images of associated unpublished notes and drawings, published descriptions and images of spore print, living organism, or microscopic features.
