Scanning electronic microcopy

The coverslips were then prepared for scanning electron microcopy using the critical drying technique (34). 

Scanning electron microcopy measurements indicate that the boron nitride flakes are homogeneously distributed in the PPS matrix. Further, thermogravimetry suggests that the composites have an increased thermal stability in comparison to neat PPS. Such... 

Scanning Electron Microcopy. Replicas andSBGs were analyzed in a Zeiss Gemini 1530 PEG SEM at 3 -5 kV, at room temperamre, gold-coated, as described above. 

Figure 5.24 To the left is shown a Scanning Electron Microcopy (SEM) image of multiple SIMS craters. To the right is shown the stylus profilometry scan output (line scan). The region containing the three craters the stylus is scanned over is illustrated by the dashed line within the SEM image.

Through this work PE butt fusion welded joints were evaluated by means of three point bend sharp notched impact tests. Weld performance at varying temperatures was quantified wifli the aid of Fracture Mechanics techiuques at 1 m/s where dynamic effects are low. The appUcation of conventional fracture mechanics analyses is Umited up to proximately 1 m/s loading rate [6]. Therefore the effect of test velocity on weld performance was evaluated through the absorbed impact energy at 20 C. The smdy was conqrlrted with scanning electron microcopy (SEM) analysis.

Colloidal gold or silver marking can also be used on a microscale in protein assays by electron scanning microcopy.
