Calcium Pyrophosphate Crystal Deposition: A Kinetic Study Using A Type I Collagen Gel Model, Gretchen S. Mandel, Paul B. Halverson, Melisa Rathburn, Neil S. Mandel
Calcium Pyrophosphate Crystal Deposition: A Kinetic Study Using A Type I Collagen Gel Model, Gretchen S. Mandel, Paul B. Halverson, Melisa Rathburn, Neil S. Mandel
Scanning Microscopy
Calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate (CPPD) crystal deposition disease is characterized by deposits of triclinic (t) and monoclinic (m) CPPD crystals in articular and fibrocartilage. Many investigators have attempted to model CPPD crystal growth using both solution and a variety of gel systems. We have investigated the effect of type I collagen fibrils on CPPD crystal nucleation and growth using an ionic diffusion model. Collagen was isolated from porcine menisci using a pepsin solubilization procedure and gelled in three layers, with one containing 10 mM pyrophosphate (PPi) plus physiologic ions, the middle containing only the ions, while the third contained 25 mM …
Quantitative Evaluation Of Scanning Electron Microscopy-Examined Ciliary Morphological Changes In Control And Noise Exposed Guinea Pig Cochleas, S. Rydmarker, P. Nilsson, D. E. Dunn, C. Lindqvist
Quantitative Evaluation Of Scanning Electron Microscopy-Examined Ciliary Morphological Changes In Control And Noise Exposed Guinea Pig Cochleas, S. Rydmarker, P. Nilsson, D. E. Dunn, C. Lindqvist
Scanning Microscopy
Many investigations of noise-induced hearing loss have demonstrated a poor correlation between hearing threshold and hair cell loss. One reason for this is that more subtle changes in the hair cell, such as detailed morphological changes of stereocilia, have not been evaluated. However, examining such changes increases the problem of distinguishing experimental pathological changes from artefacts. Preparation of the specimen for scanning electron microscopy (SEM) may result in too many artefacts for an adequate quantification of defects due to noise exposure.
One problem with some earlier studies seems to be lack of controls and/or statistical analysis for the purpose of …
The Secondary Blood Vessel System Of Segmental Arteries And Dorsal Aorta In Blennius Pavo And Zosterisessor Ophiocephalus. Histology, Fine Structure And Sem Of Vascular Corrosion Casts., F. Lahnsteiner, A. Lametschwandtner, R. A. Patzner
The Secondary Blood Vessel System Of Segmental Arteries And Dorsal Aorta In Blennius Pavo And Zosterisessor Ophiocephalus. Histology, Fine Structure And Sem Of Vascular Corrosion Casts., F. Lahnsteiner, A. Lametschwandtner, R. A. Patzner
Scanning Microscopy
The secondary blood vessel system of the segmental arteries and of the dorsal aorta of the teleost fish Blennius pavo and Zosterisessor ophiocephalus are examined by light microscopy, transmission electron microscopy and by scanning electron microscopy of appropriately processed tissue and of vascular corrosion casts. Dorsal, lateral and ventral segmental arteries and the caudal portions of the dorsal aorta have a secondary vessel system. The secondary vessels are formed by capillaries which arise from the proximal portions of the segmental arteries and from the caudal parts of the dorsal aorta. In Z. ophiocephalus these capillaries are strongly dilated at their …
Backscattered Electron Imaging Of Partially-Demineralized Enamel, D. G. A. Nelson
Backscattered Electron Imaging Of Partially-Demineralized Enamel, D. G. A. Nelson
Scanning Microscopy
Backscattered electron (BE) microscopy is being used increasingly as a technique to study the dissolution of dental enamel because of its high resolution and relatively easy sample preparation. Subsurface details such as striae of Retzius, cross-striations and prism microstructure have been observed with a resolution better than 0.1 micrometers using this technique. Since BE images of demineralized enamel appear very similar to microradiography images, it is tempting to interpret them in a similar fashion. We attempt to show that the interpretation of BE images is not straightforward because enamel is not a homogeneous one-phase material, but a two-component composite material …
Binding Of Ions To Nuclear Chromatin, Thomas Von Zglinicki, Heiko Ziervogel, Martina Bimmler
Binding Of Ions To Nuclear Chromatin, Thomas Von Zglinicki, Heiko Ziervogel, Martina Bimmler
Scanning Microscopy
Ion concentrations in isolated lymphocyte nuclei subjected to KCl or MgCl2 media of varying ionic strength were measured by X-ray microanalysis. Values were corrected for the contribution of free ions by estimating the volume fraction of the water space morphometrically. The amount of bound cations and Cl was constant and independent of the widely varying free ion concentration.
It is concluded that the mechanism of binding is counterion condensation but with limited cooperativity. In contrast to classical counterion condensation theory, the binding of ions occurs at oppositely charged clusters at the surface of the chromatin. Therefore, both cations and …
Effectiveness Of Dentin Bonding Agents, J. -F. Roulet, U. Blunck
Effectiveness Of Dentin Bonding Agents, J. -F. Roulet, U. Blunck
Scanning Microscopy
The interface between a composite resin restoration and dentin is still a problem with regard to secondary caries and esthetics. With conventional restorative techniques the absence of bonding between the restorative material and the dentin produces marginal gaps. These gaps are populated with microorganisms or trap pigments. Therefore, adhesive techniques are required for functional and esthetic restorations.
In extracted teeth stored in 0.1% thymol solution, 8 cylindrical cavities (diameter: 3 mm; depth: 2 mm) and 8 class V cavities (1/2 of the margin in dentin) were prepared in each group and filled with composite resin. Before actual placement the following …
Electron Microscopy Of Endothelial Cell - Biopolymer Interaction, Stuart K. Williams, Timothy Schneider, Bruce E. Jarrell
Electron Microscopy Of Endothelial Cell - Biopolymer Interaction, Stuart K. Williams, Timothy Schneider, Bruce E. Jarrell
Scanning Microscopy
Vascular endothelial cells form a natural antithrombogenic lining on all blood vessels. Replacement or bypass of small diameter blood vessels with artificial polymeric grafts has not been clinically acceptable due to the thrombogenic nature of polymeric material. One approach to improving the patency of vascular prosthetic devices has been the establishment of endothelial monolayers on the blood flow surface using the technique known as seeding. Scanning electron microscopy has been a major tool in evaluating the interaction of endothelial cells with polymeric surfaces resulting in a basic understanding of forces and structures regulating endothelium-polymer interactions. In-vitro and in-vivo studies have …
Comparison Of Backscattered Scanning Electron Microscopy And Microradiography Of Secondary Caries, Grayson W. Marshall Jr., Michal Staninec, Yasuhiro Torii, Sally J. Marshall
Comparison Of Backscattered Scanning Electron Microscopy And Microradiography Of Secondary Caries, Grayson W. Marshall Jr., Michal Staninec, Yasuhiro Torii, Sally J. Marshall
Scanning Microscopy
Carious lesions are usually studied using light microscopy and/or microradiography which require preparation of thin sections. Backscattered scanning electron microscopy (BSEM) has received little attention although it provides information similar to that obtained with microradiographs, with the potential for higher resolution. Recently, microscopes have been introduced that can be used to study wet or nonconducting specimens, offering techniques for studying specimens without desiccation or preparation of thin sections. This investigation sought to determine if secondary carious lesions have the same characteristics when studied by microradiography as when using the "wet" BSEM mode. Microradiographs were made of thin sections from restored …
Release Of Hemoglobin And Potassium From Human Red Blood Cells Treated With Triton X-100 Under The Critical Micellar Concentration, P. Bogner, M. Kellermayer, C. F. Hazlewood
Release Of Hemoglobin And Potassium From Human Red Blood Cells Treated With Triton X-100 Under The Critical Micellar Concentration, P. Bogner, M. Kellermayer, C. F. Hazlewood
Scanning Microscopy
The action of detergents is thought to be connected primarily with micelle formation. However, detergent monomers can also effect biological systems. It was found in this study that human red blood cells can be disintegrated with Triton X-100 non-ionic detergent at a concentration of 0.007 %, lower than the critical micellar concentration (CMC). The time dependent release of hemoglobin and potassium was detected at 37°C and both were sigmoid in character. Although potassium was released faster than hemoglobin, a cooperative relationship between potassium and hemoglobin within the intact red blood cell is suggested by this observation.
The Use Of Scanning Electron Microscopy In The Analysis Of Pathological Hairs, Bo Forslind
The Use Of Scanning Electron Microscopy In The Analysis Of Pathological Hairs, Bo Forslind
Scanning Microscopy
The potentials of the scanning electron microscope (SEM) have only to a certain degree been exploited in the study of pathological hair fibers. In this review brief viewpoints on aspects of preparation and interpretation are discussed. It is shown that SEM will reveal important facts on the morphology of pathological hairs is appropriate experiment are performed, such as forming a knot on the fiber. Such a simple experiment will provide information on the fiber cross section, and on the tensile strength of the cuticle and the fiber. Complementary methods for qualitative and quantitative analysis of pathological hair fibers are suggested.
Properties Of A New Dental Porcelain, T. K. Vaidyanathan, J. Vaidyanathan, A. Prasad
Properties Of A New Dental Porcelain, T. K. Vaidyanathan, J. Vaidyanathan, A. Prasad
Scanning Microscopy
A high strength dental porcelain OPTEC, HSP™ has recently been introduced for use in the fabrication of crowns, three-unit anterior bridges with a single pontic, inlays, on lays, veneers, etc., without a metal substrate. This investigation reports the results of our research involving the characterization of the structure properties and thermally induced transformations of this porcelain. It has been found that the material possesses superior strength and other properties relative to conventional porcelains. The improved properties appear to result from the presence of a very fine and relatively dense distribution of leucite crystals. Scanning electron microscopy indicates, however, that the …
Ultrastructural Features Of Osteoclasts In Situ, L. De Saint-Georges, S. C. Miller, B. M. Bowman., W. S. S. Jee
Ultrastructural Features Of Osteoclasts In Situ, L. De Saint-Georges, S. C. Miller, B. M. Bowman., W. S. S. Jee
Scanning Microscopy
The morphology of in situ osteoclasts on endocortical surfaces of the femoral midshaft was examined by scanning electron microscopy. Mice were perfusion fixed and bone marrow plugs were flushed out of femoral diaphyseal cylinders. The bones were split longitudinally and the endocortical surfaces examined. This method left on the bone surface most of the endosteal cells in their natural, in situ shape and position. Most of the bone surface was lined by contiguous bone lining cells covering resting bone surfaces, making a clear physical barrier between the bone and marrow compartments. On resorption surfaces, which were characterized by excavation cavities, …
Studies Of Heart Development In Normal And Cardiac Lethal Mutant Axolotls: A Review, M. E. Fransen, L. F. Lemanski
Studies Of Heart Development In Normal And Cardiac Lethal Mutant Axolotls: A Review, M. E. Fransen, L. F. Lemanski
Scanning Microscopy
The morphology of developing hearts in axolotls, Ambystoma mexicanum, has been studied by scanning electron microscopy in order to provide a chronology of morphogenesis that can be correlated with ongoing biochemical and immunocytochemical studies. In addition to normal embryos we have studied homozygous recessive cardiac lethal mutant axolotls. The mutant myocardium undergoes aberrant sarcomere development and lacks a normal heartbeat. Morphogenesis of mutant hearts appears to be nearly normal with respect to myocardial cell shape changes, epicardial formation, and the distribution of extracellular matrix fibrils in the cardiac jelly. This suggests that the deficient arrangement of contractile proteins in …
Non-Fibrous Inorganic Particles In Human Bronchoalveolar Lavage Fluids, P. Dumortier, P. De Vuyst, J. C. Yernault
Non-Fibrous Inorganic Particles In Human Bronchoalveolar Lavage Fluids, P. Dumortier, P. De Vuyst, J. C. Yernault
Scanning Microscopy
Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) is a simple and non-invasive sampling technique of the deep lung. Analytical electron microscopy was used for the identification and quantification of non-fibrous inorganic particles recovered in BAL fluid samples from 51 subjects with various occupational exposures (silica, silicates, metals and alloys, metallic oxides, precious and hard metals, abrasives). Around 4750 particles were analysed. More than sixty different compounds were identified, among which silica, kaolinite, illite, mica, Fe oxides and hydroxides, appeared to be ubiquitous. Feldspar, talc, chlorite, Al oxide, Ti oxide, tungsten carbide, stainless steel, carbonaceous compounds and flyash were also frequently encountered. From 1 to …
Cryofixation Of Heart Tissue For X-Ray Microanalysis, Alice Warley
Cryofixation Of Heart Tissue For X-Ray Microanalysis, Alice Warley
Scanning Microscopy
Cryofixation of tissues is necessary to be able to study the concentrations of elements by X-ray microanalysis. Simple dissection of heart tissue fragments of the size needed for optimum cryofixation by the conventional methods of plunge or slam freezing leads to the development of ischaemia in the tissue fragments and a consequent redistribution of the diffusible elements. Heart tissue can be frozen in vivo using liquid nitrogen cooled Cu clad pliers, but the morphological detail is preserved better if the cooled pliers are exposed to liquefied propane immediately before freezing, Concentrations of Na are lower and concentrations of K are …
An Analytical Method Of Determining Thickness Of Multi-Layer Films With Electron Microprobe, Yen-Cai Ho, Jia-Guang Chen, Xin-Lei Wang
An Analytical Method Of Determining Thickness Of Multi-Layer Films With Electron Microprobe, Yen-Cai Ho, Jia-Guang Chen, Xin-Lei Wang
Scanning Microscopy
In the previous work we have developed a series of theoretical corrections for calculating the emitted X-ray intensity in multi-layer films. By the use of these theories, along with careful experimental operation of the electron probe microanalysis (EPMA) and Monte Carlo iteration calculation, the thickness of each layer in multi-layer films can be determined.
To test the reliability of this method, the multi-layer film specimens Au/Cu/Si, Cu/Au/Si and Ag/Cr/Si of known thicknesses were analyzed at 20, 25, 30 and 35 keV. The percentage relative errors between the thicknesses determined using the correction procedures and those measured using nuclear backscattering are …

Interferon Beta 2/Interleukin-6 And Interleukin-3 Synergize In Stimulating Proliferation Of Human Early Hematopoietic Progenitor Cells., R. Michalevicz, D. Lifshitz, M. Revel
Scanning Microscopy
Early 4-hydroxyperoxycyclophosphamide (4-HC) resistant hematopoietic progenitor cells (pre-colony-forming units, pre-CFU) were evaluated by a two-step liquid culture system, (earlier progenitors), pre-CFU, as well as by the conventional semi-solid mixed colony assay (later progenitors) for their growth response to interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-3 (IL-3), and a combination of both factors. The effect of the IL-6/IL-3 combination was compared to that of IL-1/IL-3. IL-3 alone proved less effective in supporting earlier pre-CFU cells than later progenitor cells. In a previous work IL-6 promoted the growth of early multipotential progenitor cells circulating in hairy cell leukemia (HCL) patients. IL-6 alone did not stimulate growth …
Bone Ingrowth Into Porous Coated Canine Total Hip Replacements. Quantification By Backscattered Scanning Electron Microscopy And Image Analysis, Murali Jasty, Charles R. Bragdon, Steven Schutzer, Harry Rubash, Teresa Haire, William H. Harris
Bone Ingrowth Into Porous Coated Canine Total Hip Replacements. Quantification By Backscattered Scanning Electron Microscopy And Image Analysis, Murali Jasty, Charles R. Bragdon, Steven Schutzer, Harry Rubash, Teresa Haire, William H. Harris
Scanning Microscopy
Bone ingrowth into titanium fiber mesh porous-surfaced canine total hip replacement prostheses was evaluated and quantified using a computer assisted image analysis system attached to a scanning electron microscope equipped with a back scattered electron detector. Excellent contrast between the bone, the porous metal and the soft tissues resulted in the backscatter mode, allowing easy differentiation of these components in real time by the image analysis based on gray scales. By three weeks the mean (± standard deviation) amount of bone ingrowth expressed as a percentage of porous layer measured 7.2% (± 1.5%) for the acetabular components, and 3.9% (± …

Achilles Tendon Replacement By A Collagen Fiber Prosthesis: Morphological Evaluation Of Neotendon Formation., Arthur J. Wasserman, Y. Pedro Kato, David Christiansen, Michael G. Dunn, Frederick H. Silver
Scanning Microscopy
Reconstituted type I collagen was processed into fibers which were subsequently severely dehydrated and cyanamide cross-linked. Fibers prepared by this method were stronger and more resistant to degradation than uncrosslinked fibers. When used as a tendon replacement prosthesis, morphological events occurred which were observed by light, scanning, transmission electron microscopy and electron histochemistry.
Resorption was the initial host response to the prosthesis and involved gradual biodegradation. Formation of a host-replacement tendon was the second response. Increased collagen fibril diameters and a transition in the proteoglycan/collagen fibril interactions occurred in the newly developing connective tissue between 3 and 10 weeks post-implantation. …
A Stereoscopic Scanning Electron Microscope Study Of Pulmonary Hypoplasia In Chondrodystrophic Mice, W. Bradford Hepworth, Robert E. Seegmiller
A Stereoscopic Scanning Electron Microscope Study Of Pulmonary Hypoplasia In Chondrodystrophic Mice, W. Bradford Hepworth, Robert E. Seegmiller
Scanning Microscopy
Pulmonary hypoplasia is a life threatening condition in newborns resulting from a generalized underdevelopment of the lungs. The lung disorder is usually secondary to conditions outside the lung such as thoracic volume reduction. The precise mechanism by which thoracic volume reduction prevents normal lung development and growth is unknown. As a model for human pulmonary hypoplasia associated with lethal skeletal dysplasia, a stereoscopic SEM study of chondrodystrophic (cho) fetal mouse lungs fixed by intratracheal instillation with 3% glutaraldehyde was conducted. In comparison with lungs of phenotypically normal littermates, the mutant's lungs appeared unaffected with respect to structure of major …

Analytical Description Of X-Ray Peaks: Application To L X-Ray Spectra Processing Of Lanthanide Elements By Means Of The Electron Probe Micro-Analyzer, G. Remond, Ph. Coutures, C. Gilles, D. Massiot
Scanning Microscopy
The shape of Lα X-ray peaks analyzed by means of a LiF (200 plane) monochromator was described by a pseudo-Voigt function:
P(λ) = 0.35 P1(λ)+ 0.65 P2(λ)
where P1(λ) and P2(λ) are a Gaussian and a Lorentzian distribution centered at the same wavelength, with the same amplitude and half-width and in relative proportion 0.35 and 0.65 respectively. For peaks occurring at wavelength greater than ≃ 0.17 nm, a Gaussian offset was added in order to correct the asymmetry of peaks resulting from the monochromator mounting within the spectrometer.
The effective wavelength resolution …

Electron Microscopy Of Lipid Deposits In Human Atherosclerosis, G. Pasquinelli, P. Preda, M. Vici, M. Gargiulo, A. Stella, M. D'Addato, R. Laschi
Scanning Microscopy
The filipin probe associated with tannic acid stain was used to study intra-and extracellular lipids in surgically removed human atherosclerotic lesions (n = 20). In particular, intimal thickenings, fatty streaks and fibrolipidic plaques have been investigated by using mainly transmission and scanning electron microscopy. In the intimal thickenings, the lipid deposits were mainly localized in the subendothelial space as homogeneously sized particles (40-140 nm) and more heterogeneous uni-multilamellar vesicles (35-700 nm). Intermediate lipid forms were also observed. In the fatty streaks, the lipid deposits were intracellular and mainly observed in cells with a monocyte/macrophagic phenotype. Lipid inclusions, lipid lysosomal bodies …
Changes In The Esophageal Epithelium In Rabbits Treated By Cis-Dichlorodiammineplatinum As Studied By Electron Microscopy, M. Albertsson, C. -H. Hakansson, M. Palmegren
Changes In The Esophageal Epithelium In Rabbits Treated By Cis-Dichlorodiammineplatinum As Studied By Electron Microscopy, M. Albertsson, C. -H. Hakansson, M. Palmegren
Scanning Microscopy
The esophageal mucosa of the rabbit was investigated after a single dose of 5 mg Cis-Dichlorodiammineplatinum (Cis-DDP). Specimens were taken for scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and light microscopy. Examination was performed daily for 20 consecutive days. A cytotoxic effect was observed already the first day after injection with an intracellular oedema. Thereafter the height of the esophageal epithelium and the basal cell layer steadily decreased to a minimum day 11. This parallels the damaged microridges and an increased cell loss as revealed by scanning electron microscopy. At the end of the observation period the esophageal mucosa had completely …

The Effect Of 10 And 20 Gy Single Dose Irradiation On The Esophageal Mucosa Of The Rabbit. An Electron Microscopic Study, C. H. Hakansson, M. Albertsson, M. Palmegren
Scanning Microscopy
The mucosa of rabbit esophagus was irradiated with single doses of 10 and 20 Gy respectively. Specimens were taken for scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and light microscopy investigations. Examinations were made 1-14 days after 10 Gy and 1-17 days after 20 Gy. Irradiation resulted in edema during the first days. The thickness of the epithelium was at its lowest value around day 5 after the administration of 10 Gy, and on days eight to ten after the administration of 20 Gy. Damage of the epithelium surface, as scored on SEM micrographs, was most pronounced on days eight to eleven after …
Scanning Electron Microscopy Of Chromosomes And Chromosome Fragments In Transgenic Rainbow Trout, Jane E. Disney, Christine M. Davitt, Gary H. Thorgaard
Scanning Electron Microscopy Of Chromosomes And Chromosome Fragments In Transgenic Rainbow Trout, Jane E. Disney, Christine M. Davitt, Gary H. Thorgaard
Scanning Microscopy
Chromosomes and chromosome fragments from embryonic offspring of a transgenic rainbow trout were examined using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). SEM is an extremely useful technique for studying the structure of chromosome fragments since little morphological detail is revealed by conventional staining methodologies and light microscopy. The chromosome preparations were processed for SEM by combining an osmium-thiocarbohydrazide-osmium (OTO) technique with 2-4 nm of gold deposition. This technique revealed the organization of individual chromatin fibers in chromosome fragments and intact chromosomes. Both a linear chromosome fragment with a width similar to that of an intact chromatid (approximately 0.60 micrometers) and a spherical …
The Physical State Of Potassium In Frog Skeletal Muscle Studied By Ion-Sensitive Microelectrodes And By Electron Microscopy: Interpretation Of Seemingly Incompatible Results, L. Edelmann
Scanning Microscopy
According to the commonly accepted membrane pump theory most of cellular K+ ions are freely dissolved in free cellular water; the alternative association-induction hypothesis postulates that the bulk of cellular K+ is adsorbed (weakly bound) to cellular proteins which are maintained in a specific labile state in the cytoplasm of a living cell. K+ activities measured with ion-sensitive microelectrodes in the cytoplasm of frog skeletal muscle seem to confirm the claim that most of cellular K+ ions are free in cellular water. On the other hand, it is evident from electron microscopic ion binding studies that …

Scanning Electron Microscopy Of The Small Intestine Mucosa In Children With Celiac Disease After Long-Term Dietary Treatment, M. Morroni, A. Sbarbati, G. D'Angelo, C. Catassi, P. L. Giorgi, S. Cinti
Scanning Microscopy
Jejunal mucosal specimens from twenty children with celiac disease were studied by light microscopy (LM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) after one year of dietary treatment. An ultrastructural morphometric study was performed in five patients who had an intestinal permeability (IP) test. Seventeen patients were tested for serum antigliadin antibodies (AGA). In ten children, in whom LM showed partial villous atrophy, SEM and TEM examination confirmed the lesion. In the second group (10 children) with normal morphology at routine LM, SEM showed lesions of variable degree in 70% of cases. The morphological ultrastructural investigation showed good …

A Scanning Electron Microscopy Analysis Of Human Cytotoxic Cell Subsets And Of Their Mode Of Conjugation With Tumor Cell Targets, Walter Malorni, Giuseppe Arancia, Francesca Iosi, Gianfranco Donelli, Daniela Zarcone, Alessandro Moretta, Carlo Enrico Grossi
Scanning Microscopy
In this study we describe the surface features of non-MHC (Major Histocompatibility Complex)-restricted cytotoxic cells isolated from human peripheral blood. Purified populations of CD3-, natural killer (NK) cells were allowed to interact with NK-sensitive (K562) and NK-resistant (THP-1-0) tumor cell targets. The type of effector to target cell binding was investigated by scanning electron microscope (SEM) analysis. A different interaction with the effectors is described for NK-resistant targets in comparison with NK-susceptible tumor cells. SEM was also used to investigate the relationship between interleukin 2 (IL2)-activated cytotoxic cells (lymphokine-activated killer, LAK, cells) and the tumor targets. We also …
Scanning Electron Microscope With A Single-Polepiece Lens, V. Kolařík, I. Müllerová, M. Lenc
Scanning Electron Microscope With A Single-Polepiece Lens, V. Kolařík, I. Müllerová, M. Lenc
Scanning Microscopy
The design of an ultra-high vacuum scanning electron microscope (UHV SEM) with a single-pole-piece lens underneath the specimen is described with the possibility to guide backscattered (BSE) and secondary electrons (SE) which originate in the magnetic field of the single-polepiece lens to the detectors. Our new design of the single-pole-piece lens and in-lens deflection coils closely satisfy the condition of a variable axis immersion lens (VAIL), which results in very low deflection aberrations.
