Scanning Electron Microscopy and Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy Studies on Processed Tooth Graft Material by Vacuum-ultrasonic Acceleration

PURPOSE The current gold standard for clinical jawbone formation involves autogenous bone as a graft material. In addition, demineralized dentin can be an effective graft material. Although demineralized dentin readily induces heterotopic bone formation, conventional decalcification takes three to five days, so, immediate bone grafting after extraction is impossible. This study evaluated the ef...

Study of Heavy Metals and Other Elements in Macrophyte Algae Using Energy-dispersive X-ray Fluorescence

Fucus vesiculosus L. seaweeds from three estuarine stations were analysed by X-ray fluorescence, providing results for the concentration of total In order to study the differential accumulation of heavy metals by different parts of Fucus, four different structures of the algae, base, stipe reproductive organs and growing tips, were analysed. Some elements (e.g. Cu and Fe) are preferentially acc...

X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy Using X–ray Fluorescence Spectrometer

Strong characteristic Kα X-ray lines are accompanied by weak lines due to the radiative Auger effect (RAE) [1, 2]. The characteristic Kα fluorescent X-rays (K-L2,3 lines) are emitted by the 2p→1s electric dipole transition after one of the 1s electron photoionization, Though the probability is less than 0.01, one of the 2p electrons is excited into an unoccupied discrete or continuum level simu...
