Liquid Phase Electron Microscopy of Soft Matter

Reversed-phase High-performance Liquid Chromatography and Scanning Electron Microscopy

The zein proteins of eight opaque maize mutants were examined by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) and the microstructure of their endosperms by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The opaque (0) mutants included 01, 05, 09) 010) 011) hI, Oh43JlI and V\ 64AJll. In these opaque mutant maize kernels, the proportion (%) of ex-zein, the major component of the alcohol-e...

Examination of Lung Parenchyma by Electron Microscopy

In this paper many of the principal struc­ture of the Moral Lung were studied with the help of Electron Microscopy. Detailed descrip­tion was given of Granular Pneumocytes, Membranous Pneumocytes, Macrophages, and Alveolar Capillaries. A discussion followed on the form and function of Granular Pneumo­cytes.  Acknowledgements  I am grateful to the Reza Shah Pahlavi Foundation for its generou...

Principles of Phase Contrast (Electron) Microscopy

In phase-contrast light and electron microscopy, one exploits the wave properties of photons and electrons respectively. The principles of imaging with waves are the realm of “Fourier Optics”. As a very first experiment (“Gedankenexperiment”), let us think back to days when we – as children – would focus the (parallel) light waves of the (far away) sun on a piece of paper in order to set it ali...
