As the complexity of laboratory equipment increases, so does the length of writtenSOPs and safety considerations. Furthermore, students are often asked to follow these writtenstandardized documents

For many years, candleswere the preferred method for lighting. In the late 19th century, Thomas Edison is credited withinventing the first incandescent light bulb that dominated use for about 100 years. More recently,more energy efficient technologies, such as fluorescent light bulbs, have displaced the olderincandescent bulbs. Most recently, a Nobel prize was awarded for technologies related to LEDlight bulbs that are
