Background notes

Cindy Wiebeck of the Nebraska State Agriculture Laboratory aspirates calcium standards into the atomic absorption flame in order to calibrate the instrument for the analysis of fertilizer for calcium. In the background, note the hollow cathode lamps held in a rotating turret in the instrument. 

Harmonisation of the requirements for summaries (Module 2) has been the most challenging task for the CTD Working Groups. A background note in the CTD text (see box above) identifies the current requirements that will be changed by... 

Figure 1.19 Micrographs of microemulsion droplets of the o/w-type in the system II2O- n-octane-CnEs prepared near the emulsification failure boundary at ya = 0.022, wb = 0.040 and T = 26.1 °C. (a) Freeze-fracture direct imaging (FFDI) picture showing dark spherical oil droplets of a mean diameter = 24 9 nm in front of a grey aqueous background. Note that each oil droplet contains a bright domain of elliptic shape which is interpreted as voids, (b) The freeze-fracture electron microscopy (FFEM) picture supports the FFDI result. Each fracture across droplets which contain bubbles shows a rough fractured surface. (From Ref. [26], reprinted with permission of Elsevier.)...

Keep it short. If more information is needed, add background notes, such as references to relevant magazine articles, and so on. 

FIG. 18.14. Glove-box for plutonium experiments. A radiochemical fume hood with filler is seen in the background. Note that all connections are in the ceiling. 

Using a clean counting tray, measure the background of the equipment and correct the counting rate of the sample source for background. [Note (g)]. 

Fig. 60. Anomalies of the thermal expansivities at (a) along the c-axis and (l>) along single crystals of 123-0, after subtracting the background. Note the sign changes of the a-axis at x of the c-axis near optimal doping. The scales of the vertical axes are not the same and some data are shifted vertically for clarity. After Kraut et al. (1993).
