Applications scanning microscope

This paper reviews some of the more basic contributions over the past 20 years or so to the study of popcorn polymers. Some results from the authors9 laboratories are then presented in an attempt to characterize further the nature of these polymers and their growth mechanisms. These more recent results include those obtained by studies of the popcorn polymers using the polarizing and electron-scanning microscopes and ESR measurements. The importance of crosslinking and entanglements is discussed, and industrial applications—present and potential— are considered.

An application of TCSPC FLIM to CFP-YFP FRET is shown in Fig. 5.87 and Fig. 5.88. The microscope was a Zeiss LSM 510 NLO two-photon laser scanning microscope in the Axiovert 200 version. An excitation wavelength of 860 nm was used. The nondescanned fluorescence signal from the sample was fed out of the... 

Side-window PMTs are rugged and inexpensive, and they often have a somewhat higher cathode efficiency than front window PMTs. Their broad TTS and long SER pulses make them less useful for TCSPC applications. However, side-window PMTs are used in many fluorescence spectrometers, in femtosecond correlators, and in laser scanning microscopes. If instruments like these have to be upgraded with TCSPC, it can be difficult to replace the detector. Therefore, some typical instrument response functions for side-window PMTs are given below. 

Due to the application of a confocal laser scanning microscope, not only a height-averaged concentration field is attainable, as shown in [35], but also the concentration distribution of a species along the channel depth for quantitative analysis [33].

Computers will be integrated more and more into commercial SEMs and there is an enormous potential for the growth of computer supported applications. At the same time, related instruments will be developed and extended, such as the scanning ion microscope, which uses liquid-metal ion sources to produce finely focused ion beams that can produce SEs and secondary ions for image generation. The contrast mechanisms that are exhibited in these instruments can provide new insights into materials analysis.
