Quantitative Elemental Mapping Of Biomedical Specimens Using The Nuclear Microprobe., Jan Pallon, John Knox
Scanning Microscopy
Quantitative and structural elemental information is available from the nuclear microprobe through a time consuming fit of the (X-ray) spectrum at each point. An alternative technique is proposed which greatly shortens the analysis procedure and allows an increased number of samples to be processed. The method discussed here is to create elemental maps which, when they are divided by the charge/pixel and multiplied by a scaling factor, will form quantitative maps. The scaling factors are obtained from a calibration procedure comparing a large number of fitted X-ray spectra with the corresponding contents of selected energy windows. The technique also allows …
Sds Non-Acrylamide Polymeric Gel-Filled Capillary Electrophoresis For Molecular Size Separation Of Protein, Devon Andres
Sds Non-Acrylamide Polymeric Gel-Filled Capillary Electrophoresis For Molecular Size Separation Of Protein, Devon Andres
Honors Theses
Sodium dodecyl sulfide (SDS) non-acrylamide gel-filled capillary columns are a new technology being used for analysis and separation of biotechnology-derived proteins. This research was to compare this new technology to the current methods of SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and high-performance size-exclusion chromatography (HPSEC). The molecular mass of four different recombinant proteins were determined by two commercialized SDS non-acrylamide gel-filled capillary columns, SDS-PAGE, and HPSEC. The data obtained showed that the SDS non-acrylamide gel-filled capillary columns were compatible with the SDS-PAGE technique for molecular mass determination. HPSEC was shown to be unreliable for molecular weight determination. SDS non-acrylamide gel-filled capillary …

Fungiform Papillae Of The Pig And The Wild Boar Analyzed By Scanning Electron Microscopy, C. A. Chamorro, P. De Paz, J. G. Fernández, L. Anel
Scanning Microscopy
Fungiform papillae of wild boar and pig were studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Four regions were defined on the tongue: rostral, medial and caudal thirds and lateral sides. Morphologically the fungiform papillae correspond with their denomination. Rostral and lateral tongue regions presented the largest average number of fungiform papillae. Taste pores opened onto the upper surface of the papillae and were easily identifiable by SEM. The total number of fungiform taste pores from both animals was the highest reported in the literature. The lateral papillae of wild boar and pig contained the largest average number of pores per papilla. …
