Scope and Contents

P0452n02_06_001: Nerve tissue. Columbia University.

P0452n02_06_002: Nerve tissue. Columbia University.

P0452n02_06_003: Computer modeling of nervous tissue shows reconstructions from serial sections. Columbia University.

P0452n02_06_004: Human brain anatomy. These pictures are generated by using color filters on the camera.

P0452n02_06_005: Human brain anatomy from a lateral perspective.

P0452n02_06_006: Human brain anatomy from ventral perspective.

P0452n02_06_007: A line drawn representation of human facial features.

P0452n02_06_008-009: Using 3D computer graphics, surgeons are able to rehearse the insertion of a probe into the brain to reach a desired point while minimizing damage to surrounding tissue. Photos 68-69 show the simulated probe path within the head-mounted frame used for precisely recording the path and duplicating it in actual surgery.

P0452n02_06_010: A DNA molecule as viewed down the axis.

P0452n02_06_011: Harrington's sphere with 19 points.

P0452n02_06_012: Harrington's sphere with 31 points.

P0452n02_06_013: Sol, indicated by the cursor, as seen beyond the Pleiades (Seven Sisters cluster of stars). The Pleiades are seen in the foreground and are located approximately four hundred light years from Earth.

P0452n02_06_014: Scorpius Constellation - The cursor is pointing to epsilon Scorpii. Also visible is a meteor streaking by. The arrow is controlled by the operator using a date tablet. This arrow is not associated with the star and can be moved anywhere within the viewing area.

P0452n02_06_015: View of Orion from Alpha Centauri in the constellation of Centaurus. The star seen next to Betelgeuse in Orion is Sirius as noted by the arrow. When you get more than six light years from earth, many of the constellations become very distorted.

P0452n02_06_016: The Constellation of Cassiopeia as seen from Alpha Centauri - Sol is indicated by the arrow.

P0452n02_06_017: The Constellation of Scorpius is outlined. Outlines are connected from star to star in three dimensions, not just as a visual connection, as viewed from Earth.

P0452n02_06_018: Flight through space towards Antares - Viewing Antares Viewing Antares from Earth.

P0452n02_06_019: Fifteen percent of the way to Antares.

P0452n02_06_020: Fifty percent of the way to Antares.

P0452n02_06_021: Orbit of planets, plus orbits of fifteen asteroids, plus orbits of all the moons of the planets.

P0452n02_06_022: The Digistar 1 can show continental outlines for the Earth and crater outlines for the Moon. They can be shown in phase, i.e., crescent, full, half, etc., with the rear side removed.

P0452n02_06_023: Surface shading can be superimposed over slide

P0452n02_06_024: A solar corona during total eclipse.

P0452n02_06_025: A view of the space shuttle with cargo doors open.

P0452n02_06_026: Manipulator Arm begins its duties.

P0452n02_06_027-029: Cargo is lifted out.

P0452n02_06_030: Cargo doors are closed - the space shuttle begins to move off.

P0452n02_06_031: Novo view SP2. A distant view of an airport on a hazy day.

P0452n02_06_032: SP2 Haze at dusk.

P0452n02_06_033: SP2 No haze at dusk.

P0452n02_06_034-041: SPI and SP2 Different views of airports after dark. Note details lights, lighted signs, other aircraft, etc.

P0452n02_06_042: Simulators can be used on the decks of aircraft carriers too.

P0452n02_06_043-047: CAORF Harbor Simulator.
