Concave and convexmirror

A convex mirror will diverge a beam of light and it gives a virtual image.The focal length and radius of curvature of a convex mirror are virtual. The image produced is always up the right way and smaller than the object, the convex mirror gives a wide field of view because of this. Uses of convex mirrorsWide angle car wing mirrors, buses' mirrors, security mirrors in shops, fun mirrors.

Methods: A randomized, double-blind, three-arm parallel pilot study was carried out on 60 pre-menopausal women. Subjects were randomly divided in three groups (F_1, F_2, F_3). Each group received a daily oral administration of probiotic mixtures (for 14 days and at the day 21, 7 days after the wash-out) containing: Lactobacillus acidophilus and Lactobacillus reuteri (F_1), or Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus rhamnosus and Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis (F_2), or placebo (F_3), respectively. Vaginal swabs were collected at four experimental times, at t0 and at t7, t14 and t21 days, and analyzed by qPCR. At the same time, the anti-microbial activity of the probiotic formulations was verified by assays in vitro against microorganisms as Escherichia coli and Candida albicans.

Curved MirrorFull Length

A concave mirror is often used behind the bulb in a lamp, searchlight or projector to give a parallel beam of light but if the aperture of the mirror is too big the beam will spread out. For this reason parabolic mirrors are used, these have a slightly different shape to the spherical mirrors and will give a perfectly parallel beam. They are also used in all big reflecting telescopes because they give a much sharper image than a spherical mirror. (In the following diagrams the difference in the shape of the parabolic and spherical mirrors would be too small to see so both the spreading and the mirror shapes have been exaggerated!)

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate in the vagina of 60 pre-menopausal women the detection of orally administered multispecies probiotic formulations showing anti-microbial properties in test in vitro.

When you look into the two sides of the bowl of a spoon you are actually using two simple curved mirrors. The side that curves inwards is called CONCAVE and the side that curves outwards is called CONVEX.It is the same with mirrors, if the reflecting surface curves inwards you have a CONCAVE mirror and if the reflecting surface curves outwards you have a CONVEX mirror.Many curved mirrors are parts of a sphere and so are known as SPHERICAL MIRRORS. The centre of this sphere is called the CENTRE OF CURVATURE (C) of the mirror and its radius the RADIUS OF CURVATURE (R) of the mirror.The distance from the pole (P) to the principal focus (F) is called the FOCAL LENGTH of the mirror. The principal focus and focal length of a concave mirror are real but those of a convex mirror are virtual.The effect of the two types of curved mirror on a parallel beam of light is shown by the two diagrams.

Results: L. acidophilus and L. reuteri as well as L. plantarum, L. rhamnosus and B. lactis were significantly increased on 7 days in the groups administered with F_1 and F_2, respectively, compared to group F_3. A similar significant trend was observed on 21 days, 7 days after the wash-out. F_1 and F_2 showed coherent anti-microbial properties.

Conclusion: Both probiotic formulations F_1 and F_2, chosen because of their anti-microbial activity against pathogens responsible for vaginal dysbiosis and infections, led to vaginal detection and enhancement of the amount of species of formulates when orally administered. This work provides the basis for further clinical investigations of the F_1 and F_2 capacity to prevent or treat uro-genital infections.

A concave mirror will converge a beam of light and it gives a real image. However, if the object is closer to the mirror than its focal length the image is virtual. The focal length and radius of curvature of a concave mirror are real.The image produced is up the right way, virtual and magnified if the object is closer to the mirror than its focal length but inverted and real if it is further away. Uses of concave mirrorsShaving mirrors, make-up mirrors, dentists' mirrors, microscopes, fun mirrors, lamp reflectors, reflecting telescope.
