  • Much Australian food is similar to the foods found in Europe or the U.S. (shown here are local variants of the cereal known to Americans as Rice Krispies).

Other brands include the locally manufactured Mightymite and Promite (a sweeter version). Some Australians still hold out for Marmite, the British original.

  • Sunrise at the Breidjing Refugee Camp in eastern Chad. Another day of waiting begins. It's November, two months after the rainy season but not yet the hot season. Smoke from cookfires chimneys up into the sky; women sweep the dirt in front of their tents; children walk to the water depot with empty plastic containers; roosters crow and donkeys bray into the desert air, which is beginning to lose its nighttime chill.

  • (1992) DNA fingerprinting. Lauren Galbreath, a laboratory technician making a visual check of a DNA autoradiograph (autorads). Autorads are produced by labeling the DNA fragments in an electrophoresis gel with a radioactive marker chemical. The gel is then placed on a piece of X- ray film; the radiation from the marker leaves a dark patch, representing each fragment, on the film after development. Comparison of autorads from two samples of DNA is the method by which a correlation may be made - so-called DNA fingerprinting. Tarrytown New York State, USA. MODEL RELEASED

  • (1992) Forensic science laboratory using DNA fingerprinting. Overhead view of laboratory technicians checking DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) autoradiograms. Labeling the DNA fragments in an electrophoresis gel with a radioactive marker chemical produces these. The gel is then placed on a piece of X-ray film; the radiation from the marker leaves a dark patch, representing each fragment, on the film after development. Comparison of autorads from two samples of DNA is the method by which a correlation may be made - so-called DNA fingerprinting.
