Illustrations, of, British, Fungi, (Hymenomycetes), to, serve, as, an, atlas, to, the, 'Handbook of British Fungi', London, Williams, and, Norgate, 1881-91, fungi, Great Britain., The illustration features a detailed study of the Agaricus (Mushroom) species, specifically Agaricus varius, as documented in the early 19th century. The composition displays several distinct forms of the mushroom, showcasing varying cap shapes, gills, and stems. The main specimen is depicted with a broad, flat cap and prominent gills, while other variations present a more conical shape and different textures. The background includes notes about the mushroom's habitat, indicating a preference for damp areas, likely found in gardens. The meticulously rendered details highlight the unique characteristics of this species, making it a valuable reference for mycology enthusiasts.

Resolution 1 km. ( .6 miles ) Region Shown 100 km. ( 60 miles ) P-24068C This computer generated photograph was created from a cross-section of Saturn's rings as measured by Voyager 2 photopolarimeter's occulation of the star Delta Scorpii. The region shown is near the inner edge of the Encke Division in the outer part of A-ring. The waves seen at left become successively closer together nearer to the Encke Division. At right are four strands of the ringlet that lies within the Encke Division. Voyager 2's imaging system saw this structure as a single ringlet.

Polydiacetylenes are a unique class of highly conjugated organic polymers that are of interest for both electronic and photonic applications. Photodeposition from solutions is a novel process superior to those grown by conventional techniques. Evidence of this is seen when the films are viewed under a microscope; they exhibit small particles of solid polymer which form in the bulk solution, get transported by convection to the surface of the growing film, and become embedded. Also convection tends to cause the film thickness to be less uniform, and may even affect the molecular orientation of the films. The thrust of the research is to investigate in detail, both in 1-g and low-g, the effects of convection (and lack thereof) on this novel and interesting reaction. In this example, a portion of the substrate was blocked from exposure to the UV light by the mask, which was placed on the opposite side of the glass disk as the film, clearly demonstrating that photodeposition occurs only wh
