Ms. Bartoli Class

Recently in Ms. Bartoli’s class we have been learning about fibers and using the microscope. Forensics class is a very interesting class and we’ve learned a lot so far about human decomposition and everything that relates to that. However, we started looking at cotton and examining it under the microscope with different lens magnifications. When we first started looking at cotton using the microscope it was very annoying because you have to focus the lens and most of the time in the 400x magnification lens, you couldn’t even see the cotton. So I had the ask for help and adjust the light till I was able to see the cotton. At first the cotton looked very weird because it looked very stringy and plastic like and it was all over the place under the microscope and looked very tangled. We haven’t gotten that far in our lesson on fibers, but I’m looking forward to looking at more different, unique fibers under the microscope. The class is very interesting and hopefully we end up doing a very fun project at the end.
