Tubes light microscopy

In microscopy, an azimuth is an angle measured relative to a north-south axis of the microscope tube. Normally, the primary north-south axis divides the visible field into left and right sides and corresponds to a position of 0° on the first polarizer, usually below the substage condenser. Be careful if the orientation of the visible field has been altered by microscope accessories (such as cameras), which is why Bennett (26) defined the 0° axis relative to the stand of the microscope. From the 0° position, we follow the convention used in the mathematics of polar coordinates, moving counterclockwise to increment the angles. Points of the compass also are used to describe the orientations of components used for polarized light microscopy, and are abbreviated to N, S, E, and W. 

The appearance of tubular myelin-like structures in swollen lecithin was observed by light microscopy well before the systematic investigation of liposomes [351-352]. Similarly, it was also demonstrated some time ago that the addition of calcium ions converted phospholipid liposomes to cochleate cylinders [353]. Subsequent studies have, however, revealed that the system is extremely complex. For example, examination of the phase-transition behavior of synthetic sodium di-n-dodecyl phosphate [(C12H2sO)2PO2Na+ or NaDDP] and calcium di-n-dodecyl phosphate [Ca(DDP)2] showed the presence of many diverse structures [354]. In particular, hydrated NaDDP crystals were shown to form lyotropic liquid-crystalline phases which transformed, upon heating to 50 °C, to myelin-like tubes. Structures of the tubes formed were found... 

The structure of hard gels is best elucidated using SAXS or SANS because the periods of the ordered structures are on the scale 10-100nm. In addition to tube inversion and rolling ball viscometry, which are sensitive to yield stress, the formation of a hard gel can be identified by other techniques. These include DSC (gelation is an endothermic process), NMR (via transverse relaxation time, T2, measurements), polarized light microscopy and rheometry. 

In contrast with light microscopy where optical lenses focus a beam of light, in electron microscopy electromagnetic lenses focus a beam of electrons. Because electrons are absorbed by atoms in the air, the specimen has to be mounted in a vacuum within an evacuated tube. The resolution of the electron microscope with biological materials is at best 0.10 nm.

Cathodoluminescence (CL), i.e., the emission of light as the result of electron-beam bombardment, was first reported in the middle of the nineteenth century in experiments in evacuated glass tubes. The tubes were found to emit light when an electron beam (cathode ray) struck the glass, and subsequendy this phenomenon led to the discovery of the electron. Currendy, cathodoluminescence is widely used in cathode-ray tube-based (CRT) instruments (e.g., oscilloscopes, television and computer terminals) and in electron microscope fluorescent screens. With the developments of electron microscopy techniques (see the articles on SEM, STEM and TEM) in the last several decades, CL microscopy and spectroscopy have emerged as powerfirl tools for the microcharacterization of the electronic propenies of luminescent materials, attaining spatial resolutions on the order of 1 pm and less. Major applications of CL analysis techniques include ...

Ruthenium tetroxide is permanent when kept in sealed tubes in the dry state and protected from light. Exposed to light it assumes a brown colour, but the brown product is soluble in alkali, yielding a ruthenate. Presumably the coloration is due to partial reduction. Owing to its ready reduction by organic substances whereby a black precipitate of finely divided ruthenium is obtained, potassium per-ruthenate has been found useful for histological microscopy. ...
