Composite confocal fluorescence microscopy image

Figure 11.15 Fluorescent protein as a mechanophore at the fibre-epoxy resin interface in self-reporting fibre-reinforced composites, (a) The formation of microdamages promotes interfacial debonding between resin and fibre, therefore causing the protein to unfold and to lose its fluorescence. (b) Confocal fluorescence microscopy image of a damaged glass fibre-eYFP/epo>y composite, (c) Z-stack projection of confocal fluorescence microscopy images of a damaged carbon fibre-eYFP/ epoxy composite. (F yellow fluorescence channel, O overlay of fluorescence and transmission images).

Figure 8.9 Confocal fluorescence microscopy image of a composite microgel containing both hydrophobic dye Nile Red (compartmentalized in hexadecane nanodroplets) and hydrophilic dye 4, 6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) (compartmentalized in poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)). The images were acquired by exciting Nile Red...

Figure 7.9 Creating a multidomain vesicle by electrofusion of two vesicles with different membrane composition as observed with fluorescence microscopy, (a, b) Images acquired with confocal microscopy scans nearly at the equatorial plane of the fusing vesicles, (a) Vesicle 1 is made of sphingomyelin and cholesterol (7 3) and labeled with one fluorescent dye (green). Vesicle 2 is composed of dioleoylphosphatidylcholine and cholesterol (8 2) and labeled with another...

Zeolite membranes are commonly characterized by SEM, XRD. TEM, EPMA, SEM-EDX, TEM-EOS, and Nitrogen adsorption are also used to study the morphology, microstructure and composition of zeolite membranes. Usually single gas permeation, mixed gas separation, pervaporation and vapor permeation are performed to evaluate the properties of zeolite membranes. Recently, some novel characterization techniques have been applied. Infrared reflectance measurement was used to characterize membrane thickness [19]. Fluorescence confocal optical microscopy was used to image the grain boundary structure of zeolite membranes [20]. FTIR-ATR method was used to characterize the T-O vibration of zeolite membranes [21],...
