關於一元
為什麼在台灣
台灣位於美洲和亞洲其他國家中間,在地理與文化上都扮演著連接東方與西方的角色。台灣不只保留了許多傳統文化,還因為多元的殖民歷史而培育、融合了各種文化和語言。
一元的背景
一元成立於2010年,設立在台灣,致力於使用精準的溝通和交流連結東方與西方,嚴格篩選出專業的母語翻譯員,並研發新科技來提升翻譯的品質和效率。
一元為何成立
創辦人張代偉(David Chang)在美國政治界服務期間,發現台灣企業在進入國際市場時,因為文化差異和語文表達的關係,常常無法將產品和理念清楚地表達,因此導致一個不利的處境。除此之外,他也利用和科技界交流的經驗,發現翻譯可以透過現代資訊科技得到提昇,於是設計與規劃出新型態的工作流程,更適應現代的生活習慣,讓譯者持續產出最高品質之翻譯。

昆蟲標本製作
依據複式顯微鏡的特性,製作玻片標本的材料最好選擇薄片狀、透光好的生物標本。想想看昆蟲的哪個部位是屬於薄片狀,又具有好的透光性呢?沒錯,就是翅膀,翅膀也是昆蟲家族在分類上的一個重要依據,是個得好好研究、觀察的部位!蜻蜓、蝴蝶、蝗蟲、甲蟲的翅膀,就有很大差異!這裡我們示範的是蜜蜂的翅膀標本製作。

Insect Specimen Production
According to the characteristics of a compound microscope, it is best to choose a thin slice of transparent biospecimen as the material for microscope slide preparation. Which part of an insect is thin and transparent? Yes, the wings indeed. Wings are an important reference in classifying the insect family. They need to be carefully studied and observed as distinct differences exist among those of dragonflies, butterflies, locusts, and beetles! Here we demonstrate the specimen production of a bee’s wings.

Preparing an Insect Specimen
To suit the features of a compound microscope, it is best to select a thin slice of translucent biospecimen for the preparation of a slide. Which part of an insect might be thin and translucent? If you’re guessing the wings, you’re right. Wings serve as an important reference in the classification of insects, and require careful levels of study and observation. Among the wings of dragonflies, butterflies, locusts, and beetles, there exist vastly distinct differences. Here, we demonstrate the preparation of a bee wing as a specimen.
