Yes, when the QB takes a knee or slides he is telling everyone that he does not intend to advance the ball any further. Any player in possession of the ball may do this without penalty.

An example would be on a kickoff that travels into the end zone. The returner can catch the ball and go down on one knee to indicate he does not intend to advance the ball. In this instance, the ball is placed on the 20 yard line and the receiving team has possession on first down.

Another example would be late in a game when a defensive player makes an interception with the offensive team behind and driving for the go ahead score. Instead of running with the ball he may go down to the ground to end the play to avoid being hit and possibly fumbling the ball back to the offensive team.

By using the idea of depth of field how can you tell which hair of 2 hairs on the slide is above the other on a microscope?

You can determine which hair is above the other on a microscope slide by adjusting the microscope's focus. The hair that comes into focus first is positioned closer to the objective lens and is therefore above the other hair on the slide. This difference in focus indicates the relative depth of field between the two hairs.
