Looking At Tears Under A Microscope
One day Rose-Lynn Fisher wondered if her tears of grief would look different compared to her tears of joy, so she began to explore them up close under a microscope.
What do you think Rose-Lynn discovered?
Rose-Lynn studied 100 different tears and found that basal tears (the ones that our body produces to lubricate our eyes) are drastically different from the tears that happen when we are chopping onions. The tears that come about from hard laughter aren’t even close to the tears of sorrow. Each tiny tear drop carries a microcosm of human experience. Her project is called The Topography of Tears.
1. Which word means "moisten"?
2. What word could be used in place of "drastically"?
3. What is topography? What is a topographical map as opposed to a geographical one?
Joseph Stromberg of the Smithsonian’s Collage of Arts and Sciences explained that there are three major types of tears: basal (lubricating), reflex (protective), and psychic (rieretggd by emotions). All tears contain organic bncstsuaes including oils, antibodies, and enzymes and are sdeeuspnd in salt water. Different types of tears have istidnct molecules. Emotional tears have protein-based honeorms including the neurotransmitter leucine enkephalin, which is a natural painkiller that is released when we are restsesd. Plus, the tears seen under the microscope are cllizrystaed salt and can lead to different shapes and forms. So even psychic tears with the same chemical mponcoositi can look very different. Fisher said, “There are so many alveriabs—there’s the chemistry, the viscosity, the setting, the ratievoapon rate and the settings of the microscope.”
Q: Is The Topography of Tears and art project or a science project?
