Cross section of a synovial joint (UEB Uncontracted)
There is a bone at the top of the page, the joint in the centre of the page and another bone at the bottom of the page. The diagram is surrounded by an image border. A locator dot and title are shown. These must always be at the top left of the page when the image is the right way up. The bone in the top part of the page ends in the centre of the page, where it is covered with cartilage. Similarly the bone in the bottom part of the page ends in the centre of the page and is also covered with cartilage. To the left and right a ligament holds the two bones together. There is fluid between the two areas of cartilage which is held in place by a membrane.
Cross section of the left human lung (Large Print)
This diagram shows the left lung, its bronchus and part of the trachea seen from the front and surrounded by an image border. A locator dot and title are shown. These must always be at the top left of the page when the image is the right way up. In the top left of the diagram the lower part of the trachea runs down the page a short way, before dividing into the two bronchi. The left bronchus goes down and to the right of the page, and enters the left lung. It divides many times into bronchioles, each of which ends in an alveolus.

Development of a tropical storm - cross section (Large Print)
This page shows a tropical storm in cross section (cut through vertically and seen from the side). There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the right way up. The diagram has a dashed line image border. In the middle of the page there are arrows pointing down, and to either side of these the cross section through the clouds can be found. Going across the bottom of the page is a textured area representing the sea. The straight arrows in the middle of the page represent the flow of air down into the clear 'eye' of the storm system. To either side are textured areas of cloud. Within these textured areas, wiggly arrows show water vapour rising through the cloud from the sea. Rain is shown falling from the cloud to the sea at the bottom of the page. Three horizontal arrows, pointing right, can be found on the left of the page just above the sea. Three similar arrows, pointing left, can be found just above the sea on the right of the page. These all show airflow into the storm system.

Distance-time graph (Large Print)
by Rnib BookshareThis page shows a graph of distance plotted against time. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the right way up. A background grid of light vertical and horizontal lines covers most of the page. To the far left is a vertical scale, the y-axis, which is marked in divisions of 50 metres going up the page from 0 to 400. At the bottom of the page is a horizontal scale, the x-axis, which is divided into intervals of ten seconds going from 0 on the left to 70 on the right of the page. There is a heavy line starting at the bottom left of the grid where zero is marked that slopes up to the right. It is horizontal between 30 and 50 seconds and then slopes up again. To the far right of the page is a vertical line showing distance travelled and below this, to the left, is a line showing time taken for this section of the graph line. Up and to the left of centre of the page there is the equation: speed = y/x. In the equation 'x' refers to the time (on the x-axis, going left to right) taken to travel a distance and 'y' (on the y-axis, going bottom to top) to the distance travelled in that time.

Distillation Apparatus (UEB Contracted)
by Rnib BookshareThis page shows six items of laboratory equipment used for separating liquids with different boiling points. They are seen from the side in cross section. Each image is labelled. There is a locator dot and title shown, which will be at the top left of the page when it is the correct way up.Condensers - On the left of the page, from left to right, are an Allihn condenser, a coil condenser and a Graham condenser. Each of them has a small tube inside a larger tube. In the Allihn and Graham condensers, the larger, outside tube carries a coolant, usually water or antifreeze. The coolant flows from the bottom left to the top left of the image. Arrows show the direction of flow. Hot vapour is passed through the smaller, inner tube. It cools and condenses to a liquid that is collected at the bottom. The inner tube of the Allihn condenser has a series of bulbs along its length, to increase its surface area and speed up the exchange of heat. The inner tube of the Graham condenser is coiled, also to increase its surface area. The coil condenser is a variant of the Graham condenser except the small coiled, inner tube carries the coolant and the hot vapour condenses in the larger, outside tube.Alembic Retort: This image in the top left of the page shows an alembic retort. It was used as part of an alembic still by the Ancient Greeks. The retort is being heated by a Bunsen burner down the page.Cold finger:This image is to the left of the Bunsen burner. Coolant (often water) flows into the cold finger in the top right of the image and out of the top left. The direction of flow is shown by arrows. The cold finger provides a cold surface and can be use as a simple condenser or in a sublimation apparatus.

Enlargement
This diagram shows two triangles; the original triangle and its enlargement into a new position. A locator dot and title are shown. These must always be at the top left of the page when the image is the right way up. There is a graph with the x-axis ranging from 0 to 5 at the bottom of the page. The y-axis ranging from 0 to 6 is to the left. Every other axis division mark is labelled. Some of the braille uses maths code notation. The original triangle is in the centre of the diagram. The enlarged triangle is towards the bottom right. The heavy dotted lines indicate the tracking of the enlargement. A1B1 = 2 x AB therefore the scale factor is 2.

Factors affecting climate (Large Print)
There are two diagrams of the Earth on this page; one is at the top of the page and the other at the bottom. Each has a dashed line image border. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the right way up. Winter: In the top diagram, to the left of the page, there is a textured disc representing the Earth, with a ring of another texture showing the atmosphere surrounding it. On the top right part of the Earth there are two heavy lines showing the area of the Earth's surface heated by the sun's rays, which are represented by two textured bars extending to the right. This shows how, in northerly areas in winter, the sun's rays are spread out more and have to travel further through the atmosphere. These factors, together with shorter winter days and increased reflection of the sun's energy back into space, all have the effect of reducing the amount of energy available for heating the surface of the Earth. A heavy dashed line showing the Equator goes across at an angle halfway up the disc. The Earth's axis is shown at its top and bottom by short heavy lines. To the right of these are four descriptive labels. Summre: In the diagram at the bottom of the page there are descriptive labels to the left. To the right of the page, there is a textured disc representing the Earth, with a ring of another texture showing the atmosphere surrounding it. On the top left part of the Earth there are two heavy lines showing the area of the Earth's surface heated by the sun's rays, which are represented by two textured bars extending to the left. This shows how, in northerly areas in summer, the sun's rays are spread out less and have to travel a shorter distance through the atmosphere. These factors, together with longer summer days and decreased reflection of the sun's energy back into space, all have the effect of increasing the amount of energy available for heating the surface of the Earth. A heavy dashed line showing the Equator goes across at an angle halfway up the disc. The Earth's axis is shown at its top and bottom by short heavy lines.

Flow chart example (large print)
by Rnib BookshareOn this page is a flowchart showing the making of a lemon cake. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the right way up. The chart is on the left of the page and the labels describing the chart are to the right. The chart runs vertically from the top left of the page to the bottom, each stage being represented by various shaped boxes with text in them. Start with the sausage shaped box at the top and follow the arrows. With the diamond-shaped decision box, there will be more than one set of arrows to follow.
