First day in lab

Today in lab I was allowed in a literature review meeting.  In this meeting a student presented a paper on retinal basal membrane extra cellular matrix proteins.  The PI and every one in lab analyzed the paper in order to better to understand the science.  My mentor took me to see the x ray photoelectron spectroscopy machine.  This machine sends a beam of light to a sample.  He would like to send this beam at different angles to get a better picture of what is on the cover slips.
