The technique involves stimulating certain points on the body , often by inserting and manipulating thin needles . As a result of these developments , organs deep within the body can now be biopsied by long , thin needles guided safely to their targets by CT or ultrasound scanning , in many cases eliminating the need for general anesthesia and an open surgical procedure . Thin myofilaments measure 5-6 nm in diameter . The diode semiconductor contains several very thin layers of material that are sequentially deposited onto a supporting substrate ( usually silicon or doped gallium ) . Lamination - - - a stratum is often made up of thin layers , each layer is called a lamina [ a thin plate ] , and such rocks are said to be laminated . Contaminants , such as ortho-xylene that appeared not to be moving downgradient from the oil on the basis of observation well data , are migrating in thin layers as the aquifer evolves to methanogenic conditions . To further enhance reliability , IBM pioneered the use of thin layers of refractory metals , including the use of Ti , above and below the Al ( Cu ) alloy layers . According to physicist Moshe Deutsch , from Bar-Ilan University , thin layers of organic materials , often just one molecule thick , are of interest for various technological applications , such as chemical sensors . Since it is radioactive , however mild , handle it with fairly thick rubber gloves ( thin gloves may pass the beta-rays ) . The majority of young growth stands on the Tongass are about 30 years away from being ready for commercial thinning harvests ; therefor , reliance on road construction activities is still necessary and being employed .
