Scanning electron micrography indicates that zeolite crystals are homogeneously distributed in the composites. Micrographs show the characteristic aggregates of octahedral crystals of zeolite X from methods A and C and the cubic crystals of zeolite A from method B.

Limiting resolution of sensitivity was assessed by scanning electron micrography (SEM) micrographs. 

Transmission electron micrography has, remarkably, been successfully used to image micelles formed by block copolymers in dilute solutions. Price and coworkers used two preparation methods. In the first method (Price and Woods 1973), f reeze etching, a drop of solution was rapidly frozen by quenching in liquid nitrogen. Solvent was then allowed to evaporate from a freshly microtomed surface of the droplet. Finally, a replica was made of collapsed micelles raised proud from the frozen surface. In the second method (Booth et al. 1978), a drop of micellar solution was allowed to spread and evaporate on a carbon substrate, and 0s04 was used to selectively stain one of the blocks. 

In HeLa cells, the striking morphological alterations which follow exposure of the cells to butyrate are characterized by the extension of neurite-like processes (Fig. 1). No significant differences in the fine structure of the ceil surface was observed by scanning electron micrography (Fig. 1). In addition to butyrate, propionate and pentanoate but not other homologous... 

Single crystals for electron micrography and diffraction were obtained by dissolution of the polymer in nitrobenzene at 170°C followed by filtration. The solution was slowly cooled to 134°C and kept at this temperature for 12 h. The polymer that had crystallized was filtered and redissolved in nitrobenzene at 170°C, cooled to 139°C then very slowly to 136°C, kept at this temperature for 24 h and cooled to room temperature leaving the polymer single crystals in suspension in nitrobenzene. A total of 25 reflections could be observed on the electron dif-fractogram (hkO section) of this material. This was an improvement over the X-ray fiber diagram since only five reflections had been recorded on the equator (see Table I). 

In the majority of cases when one deals with nanosize superparamagnetic grains, polydispersity seems to be an inherent feature. The independent measurement of the size distribution function, such as by electron micrography, is a painstaking and rare opportunity. Besides, even when it is done, from the statistical viewpoint a set of available measurements (103 — 104 grains) for the particle number concentration even as small as 1010 — 1018, that is, 0.01% by volume at the particle size 10 nm, is far from being statistically representative. 

From observations in transmission electron micrography (TEM), carbon soot particles are found to have an idealized onion-like shelled structure, as shown in Fig. 14.1.8. Carbon onions varying from 3 to 1000 nm in diameter have been observed experimentally. In an idealized model of a carbon onion, the first shell is a C6o core of /h symmetry, the second shell is C240 (comprising 22 x 60... 

Specialty fixatives, such as Osmium tetroxide, which is used primarily in electron micrography and acetone, is used in fixation of frozen sections. Others used for research purposes on specific tissue, organs or even whole organisms are not discussed in this publication.

Similar helical aggregates have been constructed for oligo(pyridine—pyrimidine)s and a oligo(pyridine— pyridazine) in a solution of chloroform, dichloro-methane, or pyridine.276,277 The helical structure was elucidated by NMR spectroscopy, vapor pressure osmometry, and freeze-fracture electron micrography and was supported by molecular modeling.

Figure 17. The vitelline envelope receptor for lysin (VERL) is a giant glycoprotein. (Left panel), electrophoresis of VERL on 2.5% acrylamide gels (silver staining) shows it resolves as two sharp bands between titin (2,800K) and nebulin (770K), Lane 1, rabbit muscle extract myosin (205) lanes 2-6, different loads of pink abalone VERL resolved into two components. (Right panel), electron micrography of VERL molecules negatively stained with uranyl acetate. The VERL fibers are 13 nm in diameter (from Swanson and Vacquier, 1997).

A definitive picture of the phase structure emerged and was made possible by the simultaneous development of powerful investigative techniques such as phase staining/electron micrography, low-angle X-ray diffraction, and GPC which were combined with conventional physicochemical characterizations of bulk, melt, and solution states of the block polymers. 

Glemser and Einerhand investigated P-NiOOH, y-NiOOH and other nickel oxide hydroxides of higher oxidation state by X-ray powder difffactometry and electron micrography.
