I have looked at #10 numbers of times and I can NOT see the Tract! Should I be concerned that I won't be doing a good job with this? All others are clearly understandable. Can you give me any direction on this?
Thanks,

Hi bink,
movie #10 go to bottom of focus and then back up on focus 6 blue lines.
top left at end of skid is a black grain. I believe this is the particle referenced. Top left of the whole frame, 190 microns from tip of arrow.
The tract itself runs almost horrizontally across the frame, instead of vertically like most tracks.
If you need more, maybe Dr. Bryan Mendez can help.

Movie Number 10 Depth of Focus
One thing I noticed about this movie was that the focus was set to an unusually deep level. If you check, the surface focus starts about 8 blue bars down from the top of the focus range. Too bad that all the films aren't biased toward "below surface" since that is where all of the interesting "stuff" will be found.

tareq, I think what appears to be particles along the track is actually the track out of focus as you move down toward the bottom of the blue bars.tareq wrote:I think, i think, that the whole line includes number of particles, but they are mixed up , i hope am right
I still hope that tracks like this one will either not exist or be very rare. This track was caused by a relatively large particle that we can actually see, while our particles are expected to be too small to be seen even by the microscope. Also, the path of our smaller particles will be much shorter, since the gel stops them before they can penetrate very far in. While I will certainly try to find tracks like this one, I think we can expect that we may not really see it even when one is there. Too bad they didn't actually fire a smaller dust particle into the gel for us to view, so we could see a more representative track.
