Microscopes microscope

A very important analytical tool that is overlooked by many sourcetesting personnel is the microscope. Microscopic analysis of a particulate sample can tell a great deal about the type of material collected as well as its size distribution. This analysis is necessary if the sample was collected to aid in the selechon of a piece of control equipment. All of the efficiency curves for particulate control devices are based on fractional sizes. One would not try to remove a submicron-size aerosol with a cyclone collector, but unless a size analysis is made on the sampled material, one is merely guessing at the actual size range. Figure 32-8 is a photomicrograph of material collected during a source test.

Compositional Characterization. The composition of the bulk samples was not determined since the components to these refractories were not considered sufficiently volatile to distort the nominal stoichiometry. Micro-analysis of the materials was performed in an effort to determine the homogeneity of the product crystals. These EDAX (Energy Dispersive X-ray Analysis) studies were performed by use of a Phillips model 505 scanning electron microscope. Microscopic investigation of the macrostructure of the ceramic were also performed using this instrument. 

In addition to a microscope, microscopic slides, stains, etc., the only special apparatus required is a capillary pipette which discharges 1/100 cc. of milk. The most satisfactory form of pipette is made from a thick piece of thick walled capillary tubing with a bore of such a size that the single graduation mark is from 1% to 2 2 inches from the tip. The tip shall be blunt and of such a form that it will discharge the milk cleanly without running back on the side of the tip. 

To understand better about the location of the cracks, one of the samples (from batch A) was chosen to be stopped in the middle of bending test and was observed under the microscope. Microscopic observations showed that all the observable cracks were on the tension side of the specimen (and not the compression side) which means that the tension side of the foam fails faster than the compression side.(Figure 8)... 

Electron microscope Microscope that uses a beam of electrons rather than a beam of light and electromagnets instead of glass lenses to produce an image. 

Microscopy is the study of the fine structure and morphology of objects with the use of a microscope. Microscopes range from optical microscopes, which resolve details on the micrometer level, to transmission electron microscopes that can resolve details less than one nanometer across. The size and visibility of the polymer structure to be characterized generally determines which instrument is to be used. For example, the size and distribution of spherulites can be observed by optical techniques, but a study of their internal structure requires electron microscopy. Combinations of the various microscopy techniques generally provide the best insight into the morphology of polymer materials [1]. Table 2.1 shows the basic properties of the different microscopes, for the purpose of comparison.
