The negative stain is particularly useful for determining cell size and arrangement. It can also be used to stain cells that are too delicate to be heat-fixed. We use nigrosin as our negative stain. Nigrosin is an acidic stain.
To 2040 A.D. Until late 2006, global temperatures were more than a degree Fahrenheit warmer when compared to the 20th Century average. From August of 2007 through February of 2008, the Earthâs mean temperature dropped to near the 20th Century average of 57 degrees.
The average surface temperature on Earth is approximately 14Â°C; but as already noted, this varies. For instance, the hottest temperature ever recorded on Earth was 70.7Â°C (159Â°F), which was taken in the Lut Desert of Iran. These measurements were part of a global temperature survey conducted by scientists at NASAâs Earth Observatory during the summers of 2003 to 2009.
