Blur Spot Limitations in Distal Endoscope Sensors
Blur Spot Limitations In Distal Endoscope Sensors Avi Yaron Visionsense Inc, Orangeburg, New York Abstract In years past, the picture quality of electronic video systems was limited by the image sensor. In the present, the resolution of the image sensor can be superior to the resolution of the optical system in imaging systems such as those employed in medical endoscopy.

Boyles Law Apparatus
Abstract The objective of this lab was to determine the relationship (if any), between the pressure and volume of a gas given the temperature and # of molecules remained constant. Using the Boyle’s law apparatus, and textbooks to demonstrate pressure it was concluded that there was a relationship between pressure and volume. However, the relationship was not a direct relationship, and it was determined that the pressure and volume of a gas are inversely proportioned.
