Since Linnaeus never saw an herbarium specimen ( if there ever was one ) of Plumier's Magnolia and had only his description and a rather poor picture at hand, he must have taken it for the same plant which was described by Catesby in his 1730 Natural History of Carolina.

The first specimen was collected in the 1970s, and later described in 1983.

Coelacanths (, adaptation of Modern Latin Cœlacanthus " hollow spine ", from Greek κοῖλ-ος koilos " hollow " + ἄκανθ-α akantha " spine ", referring to the hollow caudal fin rays of the first fossil specimen described and named by Louis Agassiz in 1839 ) are members of an order of fish that includes the oldest known living lineage of Sarcopterygii ( lobe-finned fish and tetrapods ).

The earliest formally described fossil specimen is a cranium from the Fur Formation lover-eocene in Denmark ( 54 mya ).

The specimen, collected in 1888 by John Bell Hatcher from the Lance Formation of Wyoming, was initially described as another species of Ceratops.

Within the first decades after Triceratops was described, various skulls were collected, which varied to a lesser or greater degree from the original Triceratops, named T. horridus by Marsh ( from the Latin horridus ; " rough, rugose ", suggesting the roughened texture of those bones belonging to the type specimen, later identified as an aged individual ).

The type specimen of Common Heath was collected in 1793 by French botanist Jacques Labillardière in Van Diemens Land ( now Tasmania ) during a voyage with Bruni D ' Entrecasteaux It was described by Labillardiere in 1805 who gave the species its current name Epacris impressa.

" Mitford subsequently received invitations to party rallies and state occasions, and was described by Hitler as " a perfect specimen of Aryan womanhood.

It was described from a type specimen collected in Sweden, with the name Fringilla domestica.

The White-bellied Sea Eagle was first described by the German naturalist Johann Friedrich Gmelin in 1788, although John Latham had made notes on the species in 1781, from a specimen obtained in February 1780 at Princes Island off the westernmost cape of Java during Captain Cook's last voyage.

The Wandering Albatross was first described as Diomedea exulans by Carolus Linnaeus, in 1758, based on a specimen from the Cape of Good Hope.

The Black-browed Albatross was first described as Diomedea melanophris by Coenraad Jacob Temminck, in 1828, based on a specimen from Cape of Good Hope.

In 1878, the Scottish zoologist John Anderson, first curator of the Indian Museum in Calcutta, described Balaenoptera edeni, naming it after the former British High Commissioner in Burma, Sir Ashley Eden, who helped obtain the type specimen.

These were sent to Anderson, who described the specimen, which was physically mature, as a new species.

These wavelengths are reflected in sequence through the specimen by the rotating mirror ; ;

the specimen is magnified by the microscope.

Another specimen of such double-entendre is illustrated by a woman in a department store.

For example Test 3, E 1 refers to a specimen which has been washed by procedure `` 3 ( '' ( at 160-degrees-F ) for a total of 60 minutes in the machine, has been dried in a tumble dryer by procedure `` E '' and has been subjected to restorative forces on the Tension Presser by procedure `` 1 ''.

The specimen of fabric is a rectangle at least 22 by 22 inches, except for cloth narrower than 22 inches, in which case the specimen is the entire width of the fabric.

Each specimen is at least 25 inches by 25 inches.

One who could be linked to anti-Semitism only by overcoming his objections is scarcely a good specimen of the Jew-baiter throughout the ages.

Summarizes the excavation and transport by helicopter of a possible Albertosaurus skeleton ; however, per Carr & Williamson ( 2010 ), specimen may later have been assigned to Bistahieversor.

The outcome was a decision by the 14th International Botanical Congress in 1987 that Amaryllis should be a conserved name ( i. e. correct regardless of priority ) and ultimately based on a specimen of the South African Amaryllis belladonna from the Clifford Herbarium at the British Museum.

The test is unstable ( i. e. the crack propagates along the entire specimen once a critical load is attained ) and a modified version of this test characterised by a non constant inertia was proposed called the tapered double cantilever beam ( TDCB ) specimen.

Once this condition is met, it is sufficient that local bonding at the specimen surface is capable of being overcome by the field, allowing for evaporation of an atom from the surface to which it is otherwise bonded.

* Year collections: Rather than being satisfied with a single specimen of a type, a great many collectors collect type by year ; for example, one Memorial Lincoln Cent for every year from 1959 ( the year it was first minted ) to present.

In May 2007, a series of reports on national Colombia news reported more than 300 dead sheep in the region of Boyaca, and the capture of a possible specimen to be analyzed by zoologists at the National University of Colombia.

" Prinsen ", a toad kept as a pet in Sweden, is listed by the Guinness Book of Records as the largest recorded specimen.

These lenses are analogous to but different from the glass lenses of an optical microscope that form a magnified image by focusing light on or through the specimen.

The electron beam is accelerated by an anode typically at + 100 keV ( 40 to 400 keV ) with respect to the cathode, focused by electrostatic and electromagnetic lenses, and transmitted through the specimen that is in part transparent to electrons and in part scatters them out of the beam.

When it emerges from the specimen, the electron beam carries information about the structure of the specimen that is magnified by the objective lens system of the microscope.

The advantages of electron diffraction over X-ray crystallography are that the specimen need not be a single crystal or even a polycrystalline powder, and also that the Fourier transform reconstruction of the object's magnified structure occurs physically and thus avoids the need for solving the phase problem faced by the X-ray crystallographers after obtaining their X-ray diffraction patterns of a single crystal or polycrystalline powder.

The SEM produces images by probing the specimen with a focused electron beam that is scanned across a rectangular area of the specimen ( raster scanning ).
