EXAMPLE
"This new wildlife tracking network uses flashes to observe previously invisible migrations of bats. Researchers study bats by combining nano-tags with more than 40,000 square kilometres of antennae coverage, to reveal the migratory behaviour of eastern red bats. The network records signals from tagged bats as they move past antennae in their migration. Specific details of over 100 bats from three species were documented, including flight speeds, route maps and responses to geographical barriers. The network has also revealed new details of bird migration, and may reveal details of other migrants such as monarch butterflies."
Explain your technique
- What did you use to create the image?
- Did you change the image in any way?
- Clearly define any technical terms
EXAMPLE
"We used confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) to capture their fluorescent signals, and the image was then colourized."
