Microscopes use the simple visible light refracting lenses. Electrons, x-rays and infrared rays Scanning electron microscopes are able to resolve the viruses which are far smaller than any cell. They enlarge the view of tiny viruses, which allows scientists to develop the vaccines and cures for infectious diseases in the humans and the animals.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Potassium bromide is a hygroscopic inorganic solid. The substance has to maintained at elevated temperatures in a dry environment to maintain the powdered form. Introduction to atmospheric moisture causes clumping and hydration of the substance. It is therefore not technically feasible to perform standard granulometry studies on the substance. Furthermore, the hygroscopic nature of the substance means it is unlikely to form dusts or inhalable aerosols.

Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

A vapour pressure study is not required is the melting point of the substance is > 300°C. The melting point of potassium bromide is >= 730°C

The test substance is a colourless, odourless hygroscopic crystalline solid at room temperature and pressure.

KBr is the salt of KOH and HBr. KOH is a strong base. Thus, K+ cation is a weak conjugate acid because it originated from a strong base (KOH). It will not behave as an acid, hence it does not hydrolyse and will solely be a spectator ion in solution. Similarly, Br¯ anion is a weak conjugate base because it originated from a strong acid (HBr). It will not behave as a base; hence it does not hydrolyse and will solely be a spectator ion in solution. Since neither the potassium ion nor the bromide ion is contributing to the hydronium ion or hydroxide ion concentration in solution, the only source for H3O+ or OH¯ in solution is from the dissociation of water. Thus, the concentration of hydronium ion will be 10-7, and the resulting pH of the solution will be 7.

Scanning electron microscopes have magnifications up to several million times to view the molecules, the viruses and the nano-particles. They use the corrective software to increase the magnification and the resolution of images. The computers help the nano-technologists use high-powered electron microscopes to view the objects.

Electron microscopes help prepare the small surfaces for sectioning into small slices. Microscopes enlarge the images of silicon chips to help the engineers create more efficient electronic devices. When more circuits are fitted onto a small chip, the computational power of silicon microchips increases.

When it comes to biology, Microscopes are important because biology mainly deals with the study of cells (and their contents), genes and all organisms. Some organisms are so small that they can only be seen by using magnifications of 40x-1000x, which can only be achieved with the use of a microscope. Cells are too small to be seen with the naked eye.

Microscopes are also used to diagnose illness in hospitals and clinics all over the world. Microscopes magnify the blood samples, so the doctors or the pathologist can see the viruses and the parasites attacking the red blood cells and take the necessary steps to cure it.

Microscopes have opened up many doors in science. By using Microscopes scientists, researchers and students were able to discover the existence of microorganisms, study the structure of cells and see the smallest parts of plants, animals and fungi.

Microscopic examination confirms the laboratory tests that may be positive for the disease. Technicians count the number of red blood cells infected with the virus or parasite to give the doctors an idea of how advanced the disease is in a patient.

Potassium bromide is an inorganic salt and does not have any functional groups such as diazo, azide, polynitro or peroxide, which are found in chemically explosive compounds. Therefore, chemical explosion reactions are considered not to occur under ordinary circumstances.

Apart from biological research use and industrial use, Microscopes are also used in the field of genetics. Genetics is the study of variations in an organism generation after generation. Genetic engineering requires the mixing of genes. Genes are even smaller than cells, which is why microscopes are essential in this field.

Potassium bromide is a stable inorganic salt. The structural formula established beyond reasonable doubt that this substance is incapable of reacting exothermically with combustible material.

Potassium bromide is a simple inorganic salt. It does not contain chemical groups which would be predicted or expected to be surface active, neither is the substance required to be surface active.

All branches of biology use Microscopes especially in Molecular Biology and Histology (the study of cells). Microscopes are the backbone of studying biology. The biologists use them to view the details that cannot be seen by the naked eye such as the small parasites and small organisms which is important for the disease control research.

Potassium bromide is a hygroscopic solid. Upon contact with air the substance begins absorbing water. When used as an analytical reagent in spectroscopy the substance must be maintained in a dry atmosphere at elevated temperatures (100 - 130°C) to reduce the potential from water absorbance. As the substance hydrates in the atmosphere and furthermore will not self-ignite upon contact with air it is not flammable.

Microscopes are not just used to observe cells and their structure but are also used in many industries. For example, electron microscopes help create and observe extremely tiny electrical circuits found on Silicon microchips. Scanning microscopes are much more sophisticated and they have higher magnifications than light-refracting microscopes.
