Then it is cut into thin sections and mounted on a microscope slide. The whole procedure takes only a few minutes, is usually performed while a patient lies on the operating table. If microscopic examination shows that the cells are malignant, a surgeon can start to operate at once...
...what atomic reactions would occur often enough to be important in the sun's energy economy, yet not so often as to use up the supply of some important ingredient in a hurry. He found that, at temperatures above 15,000,000° C., hydrogen atoms would attack carbon. The carbon atom would disappear for a while, but after a further series of reactions in which three more hydrogen atoms would be used up, the carbon would reappear, ready to be used again.
