Introduction

Biomedical is the field of biological science which helps the professionals to understand the basic sciences applied to health, techniques to meet the diagnostic needs, study and help find workable solutions to the health problems of the population, which generate personal dramas or affect large population groups (Lockwood, 2007, pp. 98). In blood banks and diagnostic imaging services, biomedical works under the supervision of a physician, who must answer for the procedures that involve any form of drug administration to patients. Some practicals were conducted in this biomedical course; however, this paper is going to evaluate the skills gained and developed by conducting these practicals. There are three tasks in this assignment, first one is the evaluation of the skills gained through practicing those experiments; second is, to identify the skills developed by conducting those experiments and the last one is the small summary of the practical implementation of those skills.

Part 1: Skill Gained

There were many skills gained throughout the course. However, the details of the skills are:

Training Techniques And Principle Of Light Microscope

Light microscope is the equipment use to magnify a specimen for its optimum evaluation. Since, the specimens are very small in size and it is difficult to examine them through a naked eye; it is necessary for a person to take help through the use of microscope for their evaluation.

We learn the use of the microscope and learn different sets of skills. For example, I learn how to use and handle it. To switch the microscope on is a skill, and I have learnt it. We can set the lens of the microscope up to 10x of its real size (Biotechnology, 2007, Pp. 8-14). I know how to zoom the lens and set it to the perfect size where the maximum of the object can be seen and easily examined. To set the lens at the perfect size where an object could be easily determined and examined is a skill. Since, there is a perticular size of enlargement for every specie where its components can be efficiently examined.

There is a spring loaded size holder on which a specimen is placed (Kaushik, 2007, pp. 42-45). To place a specimen perfectly on the plate is a skill, and I am now able to place the specimen appropriately without breaking or deteriorating its impression. I can set the perfect focus of the object with the microscope. I know how to close down the field diaphragm (rotate it fully anti-clockwise). I know how to focus the condenser by moving it up and down via the adjustment knob until you see a sharp ...
