 Cigarette - Tobacco

    On 11th of October 1492 on a Caribbean island that no European had ever seen before Christopher Columbus carried out one of history's most baffling and pointless transactions he and his landing party had met some natives who were blissfully unaware that Columbus had renamed their island San Salvador. He had claimed it on behalf of the Spanish monarchy the natives gave Columbus beads fruit and some dried leaves in return Columbus gave them a pair of red hats the beads in the fruit needed no explanation the leaves were just confusing.

    Oh Columbus hadn't thrown overboard he sailed on what the natives did with the red hats are not recorded. It wasn't us the leaves geography was confusing to Columbus thought it was healing or hereabouts near China actually he was here on the other side of the world amongst the islands of the Caribbean near to his next discovery we should forgive Columbus for being bad at navigation after all no one else was any better yet when his ships arrived at what we now know is the island of Cuba Columbus still thinking he was near China sent two members of the crew ashore with letters for the Chinese Kahn.

    When the return was to report that the great card was nowhere to be found but they had met several more natives on the road with some more of those mysteriously dried leaves. These natives had ridden the leaves into tubes lit them sucked them inhaling the smoky fuse the two men had tried some and liked it it filled them with a sense of energy well-being tobacco. The natives colder at least that's the word Columbus's men have heard the name stuck and so did the habit what Columbus's men had seen and smoked was a kind of tobacco as domesticated as any dog. 

    It only survives as a pure strain through cultivation and archaeologists have traced its cultivation all the way back to the highlands of Peru in two thousand BC it's part of a plant family the nightshades that include deadly poisons spicy peppers chilies aubergines and potatoes from Peru it had spread throughout the northern and southern Americas and crossed the sea to Cuba with a Native American tribe that Columbus would have called the Caribs. In common with all other Native Americans the Caribs believed that the gods had made tobacco as the very first step in the creation of the whole world.

                                                SEM Scanning Electron Microscope(SEM) Scanning electron microscope is a one of the particle analytical method. SEM is one of the type of electron microscope. Here we using the single electron ray which is kinetically ejected from the electron gun. The ejected single electron powerfully hits the specimen which is known as sample and placed in the holder, the secondary electron rays is produced by the sample and secondary electrons are commonly detected by an  Everhart-Thornley detector . the secondary electrons are contains the different kinds of properties and the detector has counted the number of rays are scattered by the sample. the detected signal intensity is depends on the specimen topography. Schematic representation of SEM: SEM can achieve 1 nm Principal of SEM Accelerated electrons i...
