The authors present the application of wet SEM for histopathological assessment, a technology for imaging fully hydrated samples at atmospheric pressure in a scanning electron microscope (SEM). Both transmission and scanning electron microscopy techniques usually require long and complex sample preparation of the tissues. In marked contrast, a rapid preparation of tissues is described for evalu...

Plasma polymerized pyromucic aldehyde (PPPA) thin films have been deposited on to glass substrates by glow discharge technique. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) graphs reveal that the surface morphology of PPPA thin films is uniform and flawless. FTIR analysis reveals that the chemical composition of PPPA films is different from that of the pyromucic aldehyde (PA). From the UV-vis spectra dir...

Amorphous Spherical Carbon with Nitrogen (SCN) active carbon has been prepared by carbonization of poly(vinylpyridine-divinylbenzene) (PVPDVB) copolymer. The PVPDVB dehydrogenation copolymer has been quantum chemically (QC) simulated using cluster and periodic models. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) studies of the resu...

A highly crystalline LiCoPO4/C cathode material has been synthesized without noticeable impurities via a single step solid-state reaction using CoHPO4·xH2O nanoplate as a precursor obtained by a simple precipitation route. The LiCoPO4/C cathode delivered a specific capacity of 125 mAhg(-1) at a charge/discharge rate of C/10. The nanoplate precursor and final LiCoPO4/C cathode have been characte...

carbon nanotubes were synthesized over a series of zn-containing fe/alumina catalysts by chemical vapor deposition method at two reaction temperatures of 850 and 950 °c using methane as a carbon source. catalysts were synthesized by keeping fe concentration constant and varying zn concentration to study the effects of zn. the catalysts were characterized using x – ray powder diffraction and n2 ...

Biotin has been successfully incorporated into polylactic acid (PLA) nanofibers through electrospinning to prepare membrane substrates for biosensors based on biotin–streptavidin specific binding. Biotin incorporated PLA nanofiber membranes were characterized with scanning electron microscopy (SEM), electron probe microanalysis (EPMA), and confocal microscopy. Under optimized conditions, small ...

Metal complexes composed of two zinc(II) salphen units that are bridged by a flexible hydrocarbon chain have been synthesized and characterized. Their self-assembled supramolecular structures were studied with transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). It was found that all of the complexes displayed nanofibrillar morphology and that the surface texture and d...

In this paper, the bond strength of thermal spray coatings in high speed shafts has been studied. The metallurgical and mechanical studies has been made on the coated samples and shaft using optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Keywords—Thermal spray, Residual stress, Wear mechanism, HVOF, Gas compressor shafts

The mechanical and tribological properties in WC-Co coatings are strongly affected by hardness and elasticity specifications. The results revealed the effect of spraying distance on microhardness and elasticity modulus of coatings. The metallurgical studies have been made on coated samples using optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Keywords—HVOF, Micro-indentation, Thermal sp...

Correlative optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) combines two techniques enabling the use both optical and electronic analysis techniques on the same sample. For example, optical techniques, such as fluorescence staining, fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) could in principle be used with SEM and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) [1]. Optical microscopy provides ef...
