Why the metal strip should be flat or wire be kink free in screw gauge?

if the strip will flat we can measure its thickness easily but if it is not flat i.e. its surface is irregular then it will thick only from some points and its other area will be thin and we cannot measure its thickness easily.same is the reason for wire.


How long do it typically take for a flat iron to heat up?

ON average it should take a few minutes to get to the right temperature.


What is happening during the flat bits of a heating curve?

There are several main reasons a heating curve might have one or more flat spots: Heating water, as it moves from solid (ice) to liquid, a huge amount of energy is required to get past that temperature. That takes time and the substance will have nearly the same temperature all the way through thawing. There is an even larger flat spot for the boiling point. Heating a metal, even without having it go liquid or gaseous, the metal may go through a transition phase especially if it is an alloy. Heating a substance like a painted metal, the heating will go through a flat spot during the time that the coating is boiling off. This is one of the ways that the space shuttle keeps cool during re-entry: Some of the outermost layer of the insulating blocks vaporizes, keeping the substrate at a nearly constant temperature.


How do you work a microscope?

A confocal microscope works by a laser shining on two mirrors mounted on motors which allows it to scan the sample then the emitted light is focued through the pinhole to a detector which relays an image to the lens.

Rules to follow when handling a microscope?

1. Always carry the microscope in an upright position with two hands. One hand should support the base and the other should be on the on the arm. Use lens paper and lens cleaning solution to clean the lenses on the microscope. Paper towel will scratch the lenses. Use a soft cloth to clean other parts of the microscope. Lens cleaning fluid and paper is a must. Do not substitute paper towel, which is far too coarse and will scratch the lenses. Always set your microscope on a clean, flat surface. 5. Always remove slides from the stage and rotate the nosepiece to the lowest power before returning the microscope to its storage area.
