Electron microscope types

H2 chemisorption measurements (at Chevron Research Center, Richmond, CA) showed that by increasing the Pt content from 1 to 3.2%, the Pt surface area Increased from 4.8% to 10.9% of the support area. Pt crystallite size measurements were conducted by TEM (Hitachi Electron Microscope type HU-125). Crystallites were found in the range of 10 to 100a. Further details of sample preparation techniques can be found elsewhere [16]. 

X-ray projection microscopy (XPM) Conceptually, a projection microscope is quite simple and relies on shadow enlargement from a point source of X-rays (Figure 4B). Earlier an electron microscope type column produced a small and bright electron spot that in turn created an X-ray spot of sufficient brightness and small diameter (0.1-1 pm) to provide useful magnification of several hundred times. For soft X-rays, Fresnel diffraction limits the resolution however, for hard X-rays, the image resolution is determined entirely by the X-ray emitting volume and the electron beam current. The usual resolution of these instruments was not less than 0.5 pm. 

The cell size arid morphology of PP and PC/ABS microfoam were determined by using scanning electron microscope type Cam Scan MV 2300 LV (SEM). 

The very high powers of magnification afforded by the electron microscope, either scanning electron microscopy (sem) or scanning transmission electron microscopy (stem), are used for identification of items such as wood species, in technological studies of ancient metals or ceramics, and especially in the study of deterioration processes taking place in various types of art objects. 

Microscopy is an unusual scientific discipline, involving as it does a wide variety of microscopes and techniques. All have in common the abiUty to image and enlarge tiny objects to macroscopic size for study, comparison, evaluation, and identification. Few industries or research laboratories can afford to ignore microscopy, although each may use only a small fraction of the various types. Microscopy review articles appear every two years m. Jinalytical Chemistty (1,2). Whereas the style of the Enclyclopedia employs lower case abbreviations for analytical techniques and instmments, eg, sem for scanning electron microscope, in this article capital letters will be used, eg, SEM. 

The two main amphibole asbestos fibers are amosite and crocidoHte, and both are hydrated siHcates of iron, magnesium, and sodium. The appearance of these fibers and of the corresponding nonfibrous amphiboles is shown in Figure 1. Although the macroscopic visual aspect of clusters of various types of asbestos fibers is similar, significant differences between chrysotile and amphiboles appear at the microscopic level. Under the electron microscope, chrysotile fibers are seen as clusters of fibrils, often entangled, suggesting loosely bonded, flexible fibrils (Fig. 2a). Amphibole fibers, on the other hand, usually appear as individual needles with a crystalline aspect (Fig. 2b). 

ABA type poly(hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (HEMA) and PDMS copolymers were synthesized by the coupling reactions of preformed a,co-isocyanate terminated PDMS oligomers and amine-terminated HEMA macromonomers312). Polymerization reactions were conducted in DMF solution at 0 °C. Products were purified by precipitation in diethyl ether to remove unreacted PDMS oligomers. After dissolving in DMF/toluene mixture, copolymers were reprecipitated in methanol/water mixture to remove unreacted HEMA oligomers. Microphase separated structures were observed under transmission electron microscope, using osmium tetroxide stained thin copolymer films. 

Muscle biopsy with full histochemical and ultrastructural investigation is necessary for the confirmation of a diagnosis of IBM. The inclusions which are the hallmark of this disorder are to be found in three locations (a) basophilic granular inclusions are found at the periphery of vacuoles within the cytoplasm of muscle fibers (b) eosinophilic hyaline inclusions are also found in the cytoplasm but are not associated with vacuoles and (c) intranuclear inclusions consisting of aggregates of filamentous microtubules are found in a variable percentage of muscle nuclei. Inclusions of the first two types are visible at light microscope level, whereas the third type is detectable at the electron microscope level only. Ultrastructural... 

Nonmuscle cells perform mechanical work, including self-propulsion, morphogenesis, cleavage, endocytosis, exocytosis, intracellular transport, and changing cell shape. These cellular functions are carried out by an extensive intracellular network of filamentous structures constimting the cytoskeleton. The cell cytoplasm is not a sac of fluid, as once thought. Essentially all eukaryotic cells contain three types of filamentous struc-mres actin filaments (7-9.5 nm in diameter also known as microfilaments), microtubules (25 nm), and intermediate filaments (10-12 nm). Each type of filament can be distinguished biochemically and by the electron microscope. 

Unfortunately in routine EM (electron microscope) preparations one cannot identify the NT at individual synapses although structural features (shape of vesicle, asymmetric or symmetric specialisations) may provide a clue. At cholinergic synapses the terminals have clear vesicles (200-400 A) while monoamine terminals (especially NA) have distinct large (500-900 A) dense vesicles. Even larger vesicles are found in the terminals of some neuro-secretory cells (e.g. the neurohypophysis). One terminal can contain more than one type of vesicle and although all of them probably store NTs it is by no means certain that all are involved in their release. 

Massive barite crystals (type C) are also composed of very fine grain-sized (several xm) microcrystals and have rough surfaces. Very fine barite particles are found on outer rims of the Hanaoka Kuroko chimney, while polyhedral well-formed barite is in the inner side of the chimney (type D). Type D barite is rarely observed in black ore. These scanning electron microscopic observations suggest that barite precipitation was controlled by a surface reaction mechanism (probably surface nucleation, but not spiral growth mechanism) rather than by a bulk diffusion mechanism. 

There are three types of electron microscopes commonly used for microanalysis. These are the scanning electron microscope (SEM) with X-ray detectors, the electron probe microanalyser (EPMA), which is essentially a purpose built analytical microscope of the SEM type, and transmission microscopes (TEM and STEM) fitted with X-ray detectors. In a TEM, compositional information may also be obtained by... 

There are two types of electron energy loss spectroscopy currently in use. The first of these is found in scanning transmission electron microscopes. As indicated in Figure 5.1, compositional information may be obtained in the TEM by measuring the energy loss of the inelastically scattered electrons transmitted through a thin specimen.
