Scanning electro microscopy

Rojanasakul et al. [88] found that most of these enhancers (in particular, EDTA, digitonin, and sodium deoxycholate) increased the corneal permeability, and they may lead to severe cellular membrane damage as indicated by laser scanning confocal microscopy and electro-physiological techniques.

Thin layer concepts may also be involved in metal deposition into thin films of mercury during stripping analysis, in (electro)chemical processes in adsorbates, films or precipitates on modified electrodes, or in scanning electrochemical microscopy.

Comparison of the cyclic voltammograms before and after the addition of the modulator led to the conclusion that the number of electro-active sites on the electrode increases when the latter is added. Before the addition of Ba2+, a sigmoidal curve was observed, typical for a radially controlled diffusion process. Increasing the Ba + concentration led to an increase in the number of electro-active sites, and hence a change in diffusion profile from radially to diffusion controlled. The deposition of Ba + on the electrode surface could be confirmed by scanning electron microscopy. 

Figure 15.6 Scanning electron microscopy of the cross-section of a commercial CA membrane. The left view at 1500 times magnification is the overall cross-section with the backing layer removed the right view at 20000 times magnification includes the top active layer. The sample was prepared by freeze fracturing in liquid nitrogen and then electro sputtering with AuPd...

The surface area, pore volume, and pore size distributions of supports and catalysts were determined using a Micromeritics ASAP 2000 unit. Scanning electron microscopy (Zeiss DSM 940) was used for characterization of the whiskers-covered surface and washcoated samples. The thicknesses of the washcoats on flat samples were determined by an electro-magnetic method (Fischer Deltascope MP 3). The alkali content of the prepared supports was...

Characterization of the microgravity mid terrestrial samples included electro-optic measurements, optical microscopy, and scanning electron microscopy. Electro-optic characterization of the PDLCs samples employed voltage-dependent light transmission. The following equation describes laser light transmission through a PDLC ...

A main advantage of electrochemical deposition is the ease of manipulation by deposition parameters, such as potential, time, concentration of monomers, and water content in the deposition solution. Many works have shown that the thickness and properties of sol-gel films are strongly dependent on the deposition conditions [2,18,21,36]. Specifically, nanostructured sol-gel films can be electro-deposited using a template as a building block. The templates used include an anodized aluminum oxide (AAO) membrane and a cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) surfectant [28,37]. In addition, the electrodeposition of sol-gel films can also be spatially confined to conductive patterns on the electrode surface [38], or localized by a microelectrode using scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM) [39,40].
