Plant-mediated synthesis of metal oxide nanoparticles is a promising alternative to the traditional method of physical and chemical synthesis. In this paper, we report the green synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs) by a biological method. During the study, Zinc oxide nanoparticles were synthesized by Allium sativum skin (garlic skin) extract. Formation of zinc oxide nanoparticles has ...

zno and zno:mn nanocrystals synthesized via reverse micelle method. the size, band gap, urbach energy, optical constants and penetration depth of nanocrystals were calculated by uv-vis spectroscopy data. the surface morphology was studied with the use of scanning electron microscope (sem). moreover the samples exposed to gama ray source of 60co and their thermoluminescence properties were also ...

Scanning Electron Microscope Study of Cracks and Pores in Crystalline Rocks

We describe a simple procedure to prepare cultured cells in suspension to analyse elemental content at the cellular level by electron probe X-ray microanalysis. Cells cultured in suspension were deposited onto polycarbonate tissue, culture plate well inserts, centrifuged at low g, washed to remove the extracellular medium, cryofixed and freeze-dried, and analysed in the scanning mode of a scann...

The epithelial surfaces in the trachea and principal bronchi of healthy rats were examined by scanning electron microscopy. A system of four cell types, ciliated, microvillous, brush, and goblet cells, in this order of frequency, were found and intermediate type cells were not seen. An extensive area of the surface examined was covered by densely ciliated epithelium. The presence of other cell ...

Connections between chromosomes have been observed and described by numerous investigators (1-10). They have been seen with the light microscope (I, 2, 6, 7, 10), the transmission electron microscope (3-5, 8), and the scanning electron microscope (9). In addition, surface specializations (side arms, loops, whiskers) have been observed on chromosomes by a number of researchers who have employed ...

A method for accurate quantitation of virus particles has long been sought, but a perfect method still eludes the scientific community. Electron Microscopy (EM) quantitation is a valuable technique because it provides direct morphology information and counts of all viral particles, whether or not they are infectious. In the past, EM negative stain quantitation methods have been cited as inaccur...

Nanoporous iron metal foams were synthesized by an improved sol-gel autocombustion method in this report. It has been confirmed to be pure phase iron by X-ray diffraction measurements. The nanoporous characteristics were illustrated through scanning electron microscope and transmission electron microscope images. Very low density and quite large saturation magnetization has been performed in th...
