2 micron beads:
5 trials, 1 minute trials, at the x40 objective
1st Trial: 4 units=10.4
2nd Trial: 19 units – messed up possibly because of microscope movement=49.4
3rd Trial: 3 units=7.8
4th Trial: 4 units =10.4
5th Trial: 4 units=10.4
Average: 6.8=17.68
w/o trial 2: 3.75=9.75
4 micron beads:
1st Trial: 5 units=13
2nd Trial: 2 units=5.2
3rd Trial: 1 unit=2.6
4th Trial: 1 unit=2.6
5th Trial: 1.5 units=3.9
Observations:
The beads were moving much faster when we first set up the slide because they hadn’t settled. The smaller ones had a lot greater movement than the larger ones.
