Lab Note #3 The result

Experiment date: 2020. 8. 31

Material: Microscope, cell counting machine, the result of the first experiment

1. Observing the result of the last experiment

Through a microscope, I observed colorectal cells that were treated with PLA2 and 5-FU. Then I took pictures of them through a computer connected to the microscope.

Though I expected to observe the reduced cells, I was surprised to see the cells that reduced only in a small amount. So I decided to use cell counting machine to get the exact result.

2. Counting cells

Dead cells are stained red while alive cells are stained green. The machine then count the number of green cells and red cells.

First, I put small amount of buffer solution with chemical (PLA2 or 5FU) and cells on the small plate. (Pipetting should be done in order to make sure that cells aren't compacted together.) Then, I put the plate on the machine which starts counting. After I check the result, I saved it on the USB. Though the procedure seemed simple, I had to pay attention since it is easy to count the same solution twice.

The result wasn't clear as I thought although I consider error. To be more specific, I expected to observe cells that reduce as the concentration of PLA2 and 5FU increase, but I could observe some cells that increased though the concentration of chemical increased as well. I thought it was because I made a mistake during the experiment.

Comments

To God.

To God. God, I decided not to trust you anymore. I feel like you are merely an illusion now. I feel like ‘full faith on you’ that people talk about is a result of self-brainwashing. When I confessed this to mom, a committed Christian, she seemed to be very angry. Maybe, she felt like I was telling her like this. ‘congratulations! You succeeded brainwashing yourself into believing that a fake is a real!’ Of course, I didn’t mean it, but everyone whom I confessed this reacted similarly. In fact, there was a person who showed a different reaction from others. My friend, B, told me that a faith is not what I can have just because I want it, but what you present to people who crave for it and all I can do now is to pray for that faith. But I can’t believe it either. What is faith exactly? Isn’t it just a result of giving up having a question on your existence and hypnotizing myself that you are a real? I can’t even believe that millions of people who don’t be...

Being older

Many people agree that just 'aging' doesn't mean 'being older''. In past, though I totally agreed that an increase of years people have lived isn't equal to being 'old', I couldn't define it by myself. However, now, I definitely know how old people are different from young people. My friends in KMLA are very sensitive to what is 'wrong'. While many students in our age merely follow what the school and society says, we know how to make our voice to criticize an unreasonable thing. In a process of finding out problems and criticizing them, we improve by learning ways to convey our opinions and standards to decide what is wrong and right. I think this is what 'young people' do. They mentally develop by recognizing problems and making their own voices to fix them. They are never satisfied with what they have but try to make their situation 'best' by fixing them by their own power. However, old people do not even try t...

Essence material

Hye Won, who was busy adapting to a high school that she haven't gone for a year, was surprised when housemaster called her name to remind her that she didn't take her parcel. Thinking that her parents might have sent her a parcel, she went down to a lobby to take it. However, parcel was too small to say that her parents sent it since parents told her that they would send a lot of snacks in a big box. Plus, the sender's name on the box was weird - 'dung u ri deul (덩어리들)'. Since everything about the parcel was saying that it was not for her, she suspected that housemaster called a wrong name for an instant, but the recipient name on the box was definitely hers - the only name in the school. Therefore, she just decided to take it and check what it is. Maybe, she would be able to remember the parcel that she ordered a long time ago but cannot remember. 'Hello, master! It's nice to meet you :) ' A small note with this message was the first thin...
