Electron - affinity microscope

The first term in the curled brackets can be decomposed to quantities which have already been presented, i.e. ionization potentials, electron affinities, excitation energies, double ionization energies as well as certain remaining terms. This composite property of MB-RSPT might be of value for practical applications because the mentioned quantities can be calculated separately or even substituted for with experimental values. Therefore, to interpret such complicated spectra it is sufficient to calculate a particular class of diagrams. We believe that this is more economic than a Cl calculation of comparable accuracy. Moreover, it gives us a microscopic view of the problem in contrast to the global nature of the Cl calculation. 

According to the principle of microscopic reversibility ki/k.i can be equated to the equilibrium constant for Reaction I, which in turn can be expressed in terms of the electron affinity through the statistical thermodynamic expression for an ideal gas (24). 

It is notable that the GC samples in Table 4.1 are much too short for the Intermediate Zone formula to apply out to 120 ns. The formulas for subsequent zones of C (t) (Eqs. 4.38—4.41) are employed as needed and yield the same value of a for both 230- and 590-bp samples.(146) The 590-bp sample initially exhibited a threefold higher value, which relaxed over several months, during which time many very small fragments dissociated from, or annealed out of, the predominant 590-bp species. This was tentatively attributed to the presence of branched structures, which exhibit high affinity sites for ethidiuny in the original material. Both gel electrophoretic and electron microscopic 147 1 evidence for branched structures in poly(dG-dC) were noted.(146) The 500-bp length from gel electrophoresis was confirmed by sedimentation.(146)...

Indeed, these situations can be observed in living cell structures. During electron microscopic observation of freeze-thawed cell nuclei, rapidly frozen specimens had the original tissue structure. When these specimens were thawed rapidly, no difference could be seen in comparison with the control. Only a minor increase in the affinity to dyes and a slight condensation of chromosome have been observed. On the contrary, when specimens are thawed slowly many large cavities are observed, which indicates that the cellular materials are forced out by ice crystals. In these specimens, a very serious rupture of nuclear membrane was also observed. Similar results have been obtained with freeze-fractured electron microscopic observation of rapidly frozen red blood cells. In these experiments, membrane structure had been damaged in the regions where ice crystals and red blood cell membranes were in close contact.
