Title: Candling within Laboratory
Objective: The objective of this laboratory experiment was to demonstrate the process of candling in a controlled laboratory setting and to observe the internal structures of various objects using a light source.
Materials Used:
1. Eggs
2. Flashlight
3. Various objects with translucent properties (e.g. plastic bottles, fruits)
Procedures:
1. The eggs were carefully placed on a flat surface.
2. The flashlight was positioned directly above each egg to allow for proper illumination.
3. The eggs were observed closely to identify the internal structures, such as the yolk and the air sac.
Results and Discussion:
- When the flashlight was shone through the eggs, the internal structures were clearly visible.
- The yolk appeared as a dark shadow with a circular shape, while the air sac appeared as a lighter area at the other end of the egg.
- The plastic bottles and fruits also showed different internal structures depending on their composition and thickness.
Conclusion:
Candling proved to be an effective method for observing the internal structures of various objects with translucent properties. The process provides valuable insights into the composition and quality of the objects being examined.
Recommendations:
Further experiments could be conducted using different light sources or objects with varying levels of transparency to explore the full potential of candling as a diagnostic tool.
