Energy dispersion x-ray analysis by scanning electron microscopy for measuring cellular elemental composition in bacterial cells.
نویسنده
چکیده
The use of scanning electron microscopy in conjuction with energy dispersion analysis of X rays is presented as a technique in a novel application to in situ studies of cellular elemental composition. The method has been applied, in the example of its use reported here, to examining the effects of copper-chromearsenic wood preservative on growth and element uptake of selected bacteria in agar cultures.

In this research Na-Y was synthesized by hydrothermal method and used as support for preparation of Sn/Pt/Na-Y catalysts using two different tin precursors, Bu3Sn(Cl) and SnCl2.2H2O, by sequential impregnation, in which the Pt was deposited first and in the next step Sn was deposited. The catalysts were characterized by H2 chemisorption, transmis...
متن کاملNano-structural Characterization of Post-annealed ZnO Thin Films by X-ray Diffraction and Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy
ZnO thin films were deposited on Si(400) substrates by e-beam evaporation technique, and then post-annealed at different annealing temperatures (200-800°C). Dependence of the crystallographic structure, nano-strain, chemical composition and surface physical Morphology of these layers on annealing temperature were studied. The crystallographic structure of films was studied using X-Ray Diffracti...

The microstructure and micro-composition of ZnO thin films doped with Al, deposited on Si/SiO2 substrates by sol-gel method were investigated by scanning and high resolution transmission electron microscopy and related energy dispersive X-ray analyses (SEM-EDX, STEM-HRTEM/EDX). Thin films of ZnO were prepared by deposition of 1-10 successive layers with 0.5 at.% and 5 at.% Al concentrations. Th...
