Cast iron Metallography

A high cooling rate and a low carbon

equivalent favours the formation of
white cast iron whereas a low cooling
rate or a high carbon equivalent
promotes grey cast iron. During
solidification, the major proportion of
the carbon precipitates in the form of
graphite or cementite.

Magnified snowflakes

Essentially, "snowflake" is a general

term commonly used to refer to an
individual crystal of ice/snow crystal
or numerous snow crystals that come
together to form larger crystal puff-
balls. For this reason, scientists use
the term "snow crystal" in place of
snowflake given that it specifically
refers to a single ice crystal.
Regardless, the two terms are
interchanged by a regular person to mean
the same thing.

neuron's axon

Despite their often small numbers, the

neurons in invertebrate nervous systems
can nevertheless constitute many classes,
and the nervous systems of little studied
or entirely new species still offer
significant opportunities for discovery.
Circuit analyses and connectomic data are
of particular significance, as are the
relationships of these to behavior, and
the organization of simple larval brains.
Functional analyses of synaptic circuits
still require knowledge of the
neurotransmitter and neurotransmitter
receptor for each identified neuron.
Synapse complexity ranges widely;
undifferentiated pathways in basal
species may have unpolarized synapses
with presynaptic sites opposite each
other, and specialized pathways may have
polyadic synapses.
