Microscopy definition

Many papers deal with the crystallization of polymer melts and solutions under the conditions of molecular orientation achieved by the methods described above. Various physical methods have been used in these investigations electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, birefringence, differential scanning calorimetry, etc. As a result, the properties of these systems have been described in detail and definite conclusions concerning their structure have been drawn (e.g.4 13 19,39,52)).

There are no known examples of supported clusters dispersed in crystallo-graphically equivalent positions on a crystalline support. Thus, no structures have been determined by X-ray diffraction crystallography, and the best available methods for structure determination are various spectroscopies (with interpretations based on comparisons with spectra of known compoimds) and microscopy. The more nearly uniform the clusters and their bonding to a support, the more nearly definitive are the spectroscopic methods however, the uniformities of these samples are not easy to assess, and the best microscopic methods are limited by the smallness of the clusters and their tendency to be affected by the electron beam in a transmission electron microscope furthermore, most supported metal clusters are highly reactive and... 

The initial treatment for acute leukemias is called induction. The purpose of induction is to induce a remission, a lack of identifiable leukemic cells in the bone marrow or peripheral blood with light microscopy. This definition may change as more sensitive techniques come into play. 

There are two typical definitions of the induction time (ti) in CNT given by Frisch [16] and by Andres and M. Boudart [17]. x is an increasing function of N, t,(N). In previous studies, the special case N = N was usually focused on. As any critical nucleus can not be directly observed, Tj(N ) has been estimated from r (N) of macroscopic nuclei by optical microscopy by correcting the time necessary for growth from N to N. Therefore, x (N ) is named r (OM) in this work. It should be noted that there is no guarantee that the estimated Xi(N ) = r (OM) is correct, that is also an important unresolved problem. 

With such a definition, it was found that vfc at 445 K did not change within experimental error as the average Pd particle size, determined by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), was varied between 1.5 and 8.0 nm (Figure 1). Besides, this value of v was also the same as that reported for the ill face of a single crystal of Pd (2), the latter value being itself very much the same on other planes of Pd or on a polycrystalline wire (3). 

The electronic microscopy method on the EM-125 (fig. 1) for definition of ZnCFO particles size and characteristic of its surface was applied. Known zinc oxide was chosen as the object of comparison. The electronic photos of powders testify, that new composite and zinc oxide have external similarity under the form of particles, wide range on dispersiveness (0,4-6,0 microns for zinc oxide, fig. la 0,3-6,0 microns for ZnCFO, fig. lb) also contain as crystal as amorphous phases in their structure. 

Internal resistance relates to the diffusion of the molecules from the external surface of the catalyst into the pore volume where the major part of the catalyst s surface is found. To determine the diffusion coefficients inside a porous space is not an easy task since they depend not only on the molecules diffusivity but also on the pore shape. In addition, surface diffusion should be taken into account. Data on protein migration obtained by confocal microscopy [8] definitely demonstrate that surface migration of the molecules is possible, even though the mechanism is not yet well understood. All the above-mentioned effects are combined in a definition of the so-called effective diffusivity [7]. 

Two-photon fluorescence microscopy has also been used with good effect in the near-IR. For example, Ferguson et al.r24> at the University of Strathclyde have used 270 fsec pulses from a titanium sapphire (Ti sapphire) laser at 790 nm to observe visible fluorescence from dyes in zebra fish larvae and erythrocytes. The high depth and lateral definition afforded by the two-photon process and confocal microscopy are useful here. Also, the use of near-IR excitation minimizes photobleaching.

Optical microscopes have one serious drawback, their resolution, resulting from the fundamental physics of lenses. Lord Rayleigh, over 100 years ago, defined the currently accepted maximum optical lens resolution to be one-half of the wavelength of the imaging radiation. In truth, conventional optical microscopy did not achieve this level of definition mainly because of out-of-focus light. This prevented the observation of atoms and single molecules.

Particle size measurement is one of the essential requirements in almost all uses of colloids. However, our discussion in Section 1.5 makes it clear that this is no easy task, especially since even the definition of particle size is difficult in many cases. A number of techniques have been developed for measuring particle size and are well documented in specialized monographs (e.g., Allen 1990). Optical and electron microscopy described in the previous section can be used when ex situ measurements are possible or can be acceptable, but we also touch on a few nonintrusive methods such as static and dynamic light scattering (Chapter 5) and field-flow fractionation (see Vignette II Chapter 2) in other chapters.
