Durlng the week of April 1, some students of the grade 13 Bioiogy went ta the Ontario Science Centre. The students went ta learn about the electron microscope. Firstly, the theory behind the electron microscope was proposed in 1924. The first one built was in Germany, in 1932; however, the first eiec- tran microscope in Nor- th America was built at the University of Toron- ta, in 1938. Magnification is greater in the electron microscope compared ta a light microscope. For example, an elec- tron microscope can ob- serve an abject 500,000 times greater than the naked eye and a light microscope can see an abject 40 times greater than the naked eye. The science centre has a scanning electron microscope whichis dif- ferent from a tran- smission eiectron microscope (TEM). For example, the TEM bas many lenses and a bult- in screen; however, the SEM bas a lens, vacuum system and television screen unattached. The scanning electron microscope is far superior ta observe sur- faces of objecta, com- pared ta the tran- smission microscope because the objecta are seen in three dimen- sin.The SEM was deveioped in 1938 by M. Von Ardenne; however the first commercial model was introduced only in 1965. The studenta were aliowed ta observe many specimens after they had gained the knowledge behînd the histaricai development of the microscope. Photographs were taken during the latter period of the day. The studenta were amazed ta see the surfaces of a beetie, Miami Beach, beef in- sulin and "scratch 'n sniff " - paper. The studenta were aliowed ;o' takte hame two photographs for their reports. Foreign Correspondence The. faliowing is an update from aur Ander- ,on qStudent, alcf . aspect of Japan is its people and their way of life. Many students ask me If I'm loneiy being surrounded byý Japanese people. My answer 18 negative,' but I must admit that in the begin- ning 1 feit alienated. Being the only foreigner in town, I received many distressing glares. I ex- perienced the "lbeauty and the beast" syn- drome. First of ail, the Japanese believe that foreigners are sexy, and blonde hair is beàutiful. Since I arn fair skinned and blonde, I arn subjec- ted ta many stares and commenta from men. Also young girls want ta touch my hair. On the other hand, the women at first glared with disgust and the babiesý cried and hid from me. However, on- ce the Japanese became accustomed ta my ap- pearance, they began ta talk ta me and tell me about themselves. " "Historicaily, the Japanese corne from China, Korea, and the Philipines. Their physical features are Mongolian, which means they have black hair, tan skin, round heads, fiat faces, and dark brown eyes with epicanthie eye foids. They have relatively short legs, but that is changing with a richer diet and chairs for sit- ting on." "Theyý don't look. exactly alike but aften I believe that 1Ihave seen a compiete stranger before. Beîng dark and similar in appearance, you would think that they would detest uniforms, especially black and brown ones, but ail students and most workers wear uniforms, and dark colours are in fashion. " "The language is a challenge, Pronun- ciation is simple since words- are sounded in syllabie pairs of a con- sonant and a vowel. However, ,vocabuiary and formaiity of speech differs, depending on who one is taikint ta. The class distinctions are based on age, sex, relationships, and oc- cupation. Also provin- ces and towns have their Wharrie, 63. East and West: Chris Mulligan and Robert Pugh, 71%; Mrs. Georgia Bovay and Mrs.1 George Steffler, 65; Mae Taylor and Eleanor Sharp, 62; and, Mrs. Bruce. McCoil and Mrs. )oug Maundreil, 60. I O HELP WAITED WHITBY FREE PRESS, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 25, 1984. PAGE 17 4. C. V.I.report.... Whi'tby girl finds life in Japan to be very'different learn twa 76-character syllable alphabeta and Chinese characters. AUl three farms af writing are used at the same time, which means I must do a great deal of memo 'rizing. The Chinese characters represent partial words or whole wards, and their meanings are combined ta, form new words. As well, each character bas a variety of pranunciatians." The 1language definitely takes a lifetime ta master, but I'm trying ta accam- plish as much as possible in il months."1 "The Japanese have a lave of groupsand bar- many. The most notable Japanese group is the sightaeeing group, especiaily the school excursion." "I jained over 300 other studenta, ail dressed alike, on a six day tour of Japan. Whiie being berded by bus tour guides carrying lit- Ile flags, everyone did a remarkable job of keeplng up and in line."' "And, on' schaol athletic day, studenta competed against each other and pointa were recorded for each grade level. Hawever, at the end of the competitions, no rewards were given -ta the individuals and there was na mention of the winning grade, but congratulations .were given toalal those wha participated and helped make the day a suc- ,cess."p "Thus, the most ad- mired virtues in Japan are. .co-operatian, reasonableness, 'and understanding others in order ta iead a bar- manious- life. Putting these virtues into prac- tice, the Japanese do not reveai their feelings apenly, avoid making clear cut, individualistic decisions and open con- frontations." "Decisions are arrived at tbrough con- sultatians and commit- tee work. Perbaps this As dueto, the country's bigb population density. Whatever* the reason, their massive together- ness and. uniformity always amazes me." "Weil, that's ail for this report. The next ane Uri]] be abolfut my shooi
