Fiberscopes are one of the most important Outcomes of the science of fiber optics. Fibers made of glass and
transparent acrylic plastic are capable of conveying light energy, and when thousands of these fibers are combined
in what is called a fiberscope, they can transmit images. The most common fiberscopes contain about 750,000
fibers, each 0.001 centimeter, or 10 microns, in diameter. For certain uses, the diameter of the fiber may be as
small as 5 microns.
Fiberscopes have a wide range of applications. In the medical field, physicians use fiberscopes to examine internal
organs and as an aid in delicate surgeries. Miniature probes have also been developed to view muscle fiber, skin
tissue, and blood cells. Fiberscopes have also found varied uses in industry, particularly to inspect or control
operations in inaccessible areas. Bundles of fiberscopes fused together in a solid plate, called a faceplate, are being
used in the manufacture of television picture tubes and other cathode-ray tube devices.
The most far-reaching applications of fiber-optic technology are in communications. Optical fibers carry voice
messages for telephone service. The sound of the voice is electronically broken down into thousands of pulses per
second, which causes a transmitting laser to send coordinated pulses of light through the optical fibers. At the
receiving end, the light pulses are converted to electrical signals and the voice message is reconstructed. Light-
wave communication systems can handle an immensely greater number of telephone calls and television programs
than the current system, and they will form the basis of the "electronic superhighway" expected to crisscross the
nation in the near future of the information age.

Environmentalists often fear that tourists will trample all over sensitive natural resource areas, but tourism
may bring the needed and only economic incentives to help drive conservation, said Bynum Boley. Ecotourism and
natural resource conservation already have a mutually beneficial relationship that is ideal for creating a sustainable
partnership.
"Ecotourism destinations benefit in the form of enhanced tourism competitiveness from the protection of
quality natural resources," he said. "Meanwhile, the conservation of these natural resources is increasingly valued
since these pristine natural resources are the foundation of the ecotourism industry and the driver of all economic
benefits associated with ecotourism."
Tourism is a $7.6 trillion global industry, provides 277 million jobs and is a primary income source for 20
of the world's 48 least-developed countries. It also subsidizes environmental protection and helps protect, conserve
and value cultural resources that might otherwise be undervalued by the host community, Boley said. In the
newspaper, Boley and co-author Gary Green said that despite past tension between the tourism industry and
environmentalists, the two should team up as allies to fight off increasing conversion of land away from its natural
state, Ecotourists not only provide a boost to the economy in such places, they can also motivate landowners into
keeping the environment in its natural state instead of converting it into something unsustainable. They could also
influence the public perception of conservation, Boley explained, which does not often favor environmental
protection.
“The public has become increasing less prone to respond to environmental messages,” he said. “Economic
messages are needed in order to attract the public's interest.” Too often, Boley and Green said, unique natural
resource areas are converted into urban, suburban and agricultural developments without considering their
ecotourism potential. In addition to the lost ecotourism revenue, there are a host of negative environmental
consequences such as biodiversity loss, water and food shortages and the land being unable to mitigate the effects
of climate change. These areas are not valued for their unique attributes or the valuable natural resources they
provide, Green said, “so we lose them.” Tourists have historically been seen as having a negative impact on the
environment. Critics complain that they violate fragile and threatened natural environments while contributing to
greenhouse gases from the increased number of flights to these exotic and often remote locales. While these
criticisms are justified, Boley and Green said responsible programs promote education of ecological conservation
and environmental sustainability, fostering a greater understanding and appreciation of these exotic areas.
