Figure 4. The presence of inverse micelles indicated by Figure 3 was confirmed by electron microscopy (top). Where light scattering indicated no inverse micelles, the electron microscopy photo was featureless (bottom,).

High silicious HZSM-5, which has no activity for catalytic reactions (e.g. cracking) of the adsorbates, was hydrothermaliy synthesized from silica gel in the range of temperature from 433 to 473 K. The prepared zeolites were found to have the same characteristics of the HZSM-5 zeolite by X-ray diffraction analysis. The crystallites were found to have a cubic shape by a scanning electron microscopy photo of the crystallites and these sizes were uniformly 2.1 jtm.

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) or, as it is also called, scanning force microscopy (SFM) is based on the minute but detectable forces - of the order of nano Newtons -between a sharp tip and atoms on the surface. The tip is mounted on a flexible arm, called a cantilever, and is positioned at a subnanometre distance from the surface. If the sample is scanned under the tip in the x-y plane, it feels the attractive or repulsive force from the surface atoms and hence it is deflected in the z-direction. The deflection can be measured with a laser and photo detectors as indicated schematically in Fig. 4.29. Atomic force microscopy can be applied in two ways.

Each specimen was dehydrated, infiltrated and embedded in Technovit based methylmethacrylate. One section was cut and around in preparation for scanning electron microscopy (SEM). In each case, three overview photos were necessary and four high magnification fields (40X) were photographed and digitized. These fields were later analyzed for volume fraction of soft tissue, bone... 

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. 

In a more simple and cheap way, silver clusters can be prepared in aqueous solutions of commercially available polyelectrolytes, such as poly(methacrylic acid) (PM A A) by photo activation using visible light [20] or UV light [29]. Ras et al. found that photoactivation with visible light results in fluorescent silver cluster solutions without any noticeable silver nanoparticle impurities, as seen in electron microscopy and from the absence of plasmon absorption bands near 400 nm (F = 5-6%). It was seen that using PMAA in its acidic form, different ratios Ag+ MAA (0.15 1-3 1) lead to different emission bands, as discussed in the next section (Fig. 12) [20]. When solutions of PMAA in its sodium form and silver salt were reduced with UV light (365 nm, 8 W), silver nanoclusters were obtained with emission band centered at 620 nm and [Pg.322]

Two-photon excitation provides intrinsic 3-D resolution in laser scanning fluorescence microscopy. The 3-D sectioning effect is comparable to that of confocal microscopy, but it offers two advantages with respect to the latter because the illumination is concentrated in both time and space, there is no out-of-focus photo-bleaching, and the excitation beam is not attenuated by out-of-focus absorption, which results in increased penetration depth of the excitation light. 

SnC>2 nanoparticles have been successfully synthesized by chemical co-precipitation method using ethanol, acetone, tetrahydrofuran (THF) and ether as solvents. X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Field Emission Electron Microscopy (FESEM) and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) have been used to study the crystallographic and morphological properties of synthesized SnC>2 nanoparticles, while their optical properties have been studied by UV-Visible absorption spectroscopy. UV-Vis absorption spectra shows a weak quantum confinement in all the synthesized SnCL samples. The photo-catalytic activity of as-synthesized SnC>2 nanoparticles under UV irradiation has been evaluated using Methylene Blue (MB) dye as a test contaminant in water. The results showed that solvents played a key role to control the morphology and photo-catalytic activity of SnCE nanoparticles. 

The characterization of graphene often involves several techniques in conjunction in order to build up a complete picture of the material. The techniques typically include electron microscopy, Raman spectroscopy, X-ray photo-emission spectroscopy (XPS), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and thermal-gravimetric analysis (TGA).
