What the ultracentroscope does is to isolate the molecule for study. It takes a specimen of the blood and whirls it around at a rapid rate until the heavier disease molecule drifts away from the other, normal molecules. By taking pictures of the path of this heavy molecule while it is being spun around, the presence, density, and influence of it in the blood can be determined...

...punched in the Milky Way. With a telescope the astronomer can see long dark filaments and great round blobs, some so huge that it takes light 100 years (at 186,000 miles per second) to flash across their diameters.
