Why is the screen in a pinhole camera translucent?
A focusing screen in a pinhole camera? Uhh...no. A pinhole camera is a box with a very small hole in one end of it and a piece of film in the other end.
The screens in reflex cameras and in view cameras are translucent to give the image something to form on. The light will pass through a transparent screen without forming an image, and it won't go through an opaque screen at all.

What is the plague doctor mask?
Since the previous answer was not only written with horrible grammar but utterly useless for actual information I will oblige.
The beaked mask reminiscent of a bird skull that was worn by doctors who dealt with victims of the "Black Plague" in history was usually made of either wood of a material similar to ceramics. The purpose of the lengthened beak was that the doctor would pack various combinations of herbs they believed would be useful in preventing the disease inside the long appendage and burn them. Theoretically it was ultimately in fact the thick smoke that was created from burning these potent herbs that stopped any airborne pathogens from reaching many of the doctors. This practice was most popular in Italy although it was seen in many other countries as well throughout the time period in question.
In addition to the various medical reasons the doctors believed wearing these masks helped them it also prevented them from being identified by and therefore establishing any kind of relationship or attachment with their patients. This separation allowed the doctors to deal with people they knew for a fact were terminal with a cold indifference that ultimately saved thousands and thousands more lives.
I hope you have found this information both useful and interesting.
Whats the first step to becoming a pharmacist?
The following is written by and according to the U.S. Department of Labor and particular to the education and training required for pharmacists.
Pharmacists who are trained in the United States must earn a Pharm.D. degree from an accredited college or school of pharmacy. The Pharm.D. degree has replaced the Bachelor of Pharmacy degree, which is no longer being awarded. To be admitted to a Pharm.D. program, an applicant must have completed at least 2 years of specific professional study. This requirement generally includes courses in mathematics and natural sciences, such as chemistry, biology, and physics, as well as courses in the humanities and social sciences. In addition, most applicants have completed 3 or more years at a college or university before moving on to a Pharm.D. program, although this is not specifically required.
Pharm.D. programs generally take 4 years to complete. The courses offered are designed to teach students about all aspects of drug therapy. In addition, students learn how to communicate with patients and other healthcare providers about drug information and patient care. Students also learn professional ethics, concepts of public health, and business management. In addition to receiving classroom instruction, students in Pharm.D. programs spend time working with licensed pharmacists in a variety of practice settings.
Some Pharm.D. graduates obtain further training through 1-year or 2-year residency programs or fellowships. Pharmacy residencies are postgraduate training programs in pharmacy practice and usually require the completion of a research project. The programs are often mandatory for pharmacists who wish to work in a clinical setting. Pharmacy fellowships are highly individualized programs that are designed to prepare participants to work in a specialized area of pharmacy, such clinical practice or research laboratories. Some pharmacists who own their own pharmacy obtain a master's degree in business administration (MBA). Others may obtain a degree in public administration or public health.

What work did doctors do in Roman times?
Actually all anyone had to do to become a doctor in ancient Rome was to say he was one and make himself available for treating illnesses. However he had to have some knowledge, either by folklore, methods handed down to him by his relatives, or he could actually study medicine. The better physicians did study their craft and were knowledgeable, but there were also many "quacks" who claimed magical knowledge.

How did medieval doctors become doctors?
Answer:
Only members of the Catholic priesthood were allowed to become doctors during the early middle ages. Others were charged with witchcraft if they tried to practice medicine.
Answer:
There were several different ways a person could become a health practitioner in the Middle Ages. A doctor of medicine was a person qualified to teach medicine. Surgeons were a different group, and were not doctors of medicine. There were other types of healers as well.
Surgeons got their knowledge by apprenticing in much the same way any other craftsman would, through years of working with a master. There were large numbers of these people. Groups of them accompanied every well organized army, so the injured soldiers could be treated. Surgeons also did such things as dental work, and were the people most often called on to extract teeth. Though there is a current understanding that medieval surgeons were what we call barber-surgeons, this is not correct. The two crafts were combined after the Middle Ages ended.
A physician who was doctor of medicine had a different background. In the Early Middle Ages, before there were universities in Western Europe, a doctor of medicine would have had to be trained at a medical school, of which there seem to have been a few. There were several at Salerno, which moved there from Velia for protection as the West Roman Empire was collapsing. They, and a monastic dispensary, combined in the 9th century to form the Salerno Medical School, one of the most famous medical schools if its time. An interesting fact is that at least some women were trained at this school, and one of the most famous doctors of the Middle Ages was Trotula of Salerno, a woman who taught medicine in Salerno and wrote books on the subjects of medicine and cosmetics. The Salerno Medical School continued to educate physicians ever since, and it became the University of Salerno in the 20th century.
Later, after universities were opened, people could choose to go to university to become a doctor of medicine, and this became the main type of education for physicians. This meant about ten years of university level medical training. The student started out with the general education in the basic liberal arts of grammar, rhetoric, logic, arithmetic, geometry, music, and astronomy. After that, he focused on medicine. While some of the universities were run by the Church, and were intended primarily to teach theology, others did not. Oxford and Cambridge, for example, were state financed, and many others were run on a commercial basis, by students and teachers. In many places, the curriculum was based almost entirely on secular considerations.
The university education in sciences was initially flawed because of an overly conservative approach to the subject, a problem that was recognized at the time. The problem was addressed during the 13th century by a series of Church actions called the Condemnations of 1210-1277. While this may sound like the Church interfering with science, its effect was quite the opposite. The condemnations banned the exclusive use of Aristotelian science by professors in the universities. Prior to the condemnations, if you wanted to know how many teeth a horse had, you looked it up in Aristotle's writings. If it was not there, then the information was not significant enough to consider. You did not look into the horse's mouth. After the condemnations, empirical science, based on observation, tended to prevail, and students were given a more scientific course of instruction.
Many people believed the best doctors in Europe were Islamic or Jewish, and both groups were particularly active in Spain. Islamic and Jewish medicine had different approaches from what was practiced by many Christians, including a basic understanding of the scientific method. These medical traditions became more important among Christians, beginning in the 13th century. In terms of the time and amount of training it took to become a physician, however, Islamic Medicine had the students taught in a way rather similar to how Christians were taught.
Aside from surgeons and physicians, there were two groups who were important in health care. One was midwives, who were women trained to assist in childbirth; they went through an apprenticeship system, though it was not as clearly defined, perhaps, as those of the crafts. Young women learned from older, more experienced midwives. Almost every village had a midwife in it or nearby.
There were also folk healers who followed various traditions, often involving herbal medicine. Most villages and someone of this type, pretty much ordinary people, except that they had learned something of how to tend people who were sick or injured. Like midwives, they also learned from older, more experienced healers, but with more of a view to general health. I should mention in regard to these that they were pretty much left alone by the Church, as prosecutions for witchcraft were rather rare in the Middle Ages and active witch hunts only began after the Middle Ages ended.
