Radiograph: hand in glove in primary beam.

Radiograph: poor quality taken without grid

Radiograph: loss contrast when KV increased

Radiograph: focused grid used upside down.

Radiograph: low fixer level producing a fluid line

Radiograph: good quality taken with a grid

X-ray diffraction pattern of the enzyme glutamate

The first DNA fingerprint. The first three lanes contain DNA from a woman, her mother and her father respectively. Lanes 4 - 11 contain DNA from assorted other species including mouse, baboon, lemur, cow, grey seal and tobacco (last lane). The DNA probe used in this experiment detected tandomly repeated short stretches of DNA called minisatellites whose length varies between individuals.

An early DNA fingerprint showing DNA patterns from a mother (lanes 2 and 8) and her four children (adjacent lanes to the right). Lane 1 is an unrelated person. The two sets of lanes show the fingerprints reveled with two different probes that detect different types of repeated sequences.
