I don't see any evidence in the text of an em photo or six steps in the chapter.

  1. Immerse: This step involves immersing the sample, such as an eyelash, into a water droplet. The researcher then stirs the sample gently to separate the slices from one another.

  2. Identify: In this step, the researcher uses tweezers to pick up a slice of the sample and places it in a box for further examination under the electron microscope. They then activate the microscope, position themselves close to the screen, and observe the shapes and forms present in the sample, making mental notes of their observations.

  3. Start: This step marks the beginning of the actual imaging process. The researcher activates the electron microscope, adjusts the settings if necessary, and positions themselves for a clear view of the sample.

  4. Notes: During this step, the researcher takes notes on their observations. They may document the shapes, forms, and any other notable features seen in the sample.

  5. Read: In this step, the researcher analyzes their findings. They may notice details such as cell death or damage, which they record in their data.

  6. Step Out: The final step involves concluding the imaging process. Once the researcher has finished analyzing the sample and recording their observations, they step away from the microscope.
