Transmitting electron microscope

Figure 34.1 Extinction (absorption) spectrum of gold nanorods and their transmitted electron microscopic image (inset). Cold nanorods (10 x 60 nm) showed peaks at 520 and 900nm corresponding to the transverse and longitudinal surface plasmon...

Electron Microscopy The sample preparation was based on Kato s (10) osmium tetroxide staining technique and a two-step sectioning method. The specimens were exposed to O5O4 vapor and cut with a LKB ultratome III to get a 0.1 y slice. The electron micrographs were taken with an AEI 6B and a Phillips 300 transmitting electron microscope with a magnification of 95,000. 

Finally the relation between the anisotropic structure and the shish structure is discussed. In the transmitted electron microscope (TEM) measurements, shish structures with diameter of about several nm have been reported in some polymers [16], It is clear that such a shish structure is different from the anisotropic oriented structure observed here because the spatial scale is very much different. Judging from the size of the anisotropic oriented structure, it must be a bundle of shish-kebab structures at least at the final stage of crystallization. Why is the 4,m scale structure formed in the initial stage of crystallization under shear flow One speculative answer is that tm scale phase separation occurs in the initial stage of crystallization between the oriented and unoriented regions, and then crystallization of stretched polymer chains occurs in the oriented domain after aggregation of the stretched chains.

EM instmments can be distinguished by the way the infonnation, i.e. the interacting electrons, is detected. Figure Bl.17.2 shows the typical situations for TEM, STEM, and SEM. For TEM the transmitted electron beam of the brightfield illumination is imaged simply as in an light microscope, using the objective and... 

Electron microscopic study reveals an incalculably small space between nerve endings and the effector organ (eg, tlie muscle, cell, or gland) diat is innervated (or controlled) by a nerve fiber. Fbr a nerve impulse to be transmitted from die nerve ending (motor end plate) across die space to die effector organ, a neurohormone is needed. 

The hybridization of carbon atoms is the major structural parameter controlling DLC film properties. Electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) has been extensively used to probe this structural feature [5. 6]. In a transmission electron microscope, a monoenergetic electron beam is impinged in a very thin sample, being the transmitted electrons analyzed in energy. Figure 27 shows a typical... 

There are two types of electron energy loss spectroscopy currently in use. The first of these is found in scanning transmission electron microscopes. As indicated in Figure 5.1, compositional information may be obtained in the TEM by measuring the energy loss of the inelastically scattered electrons transmitted through a thin specimen. 

Three types of electron microscopes are shown schematically in Fig. 7.3. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) uses transmitted and diffracted electrons. A TEM instrument is in a sense similar to an optical microscope if one replaces optical by...
