High resolution nanoscale imaging in liquid environments is crucial for studying molecular interactions in biological and chemical systems. In particular, electron microscopy is the gold-standard tool for nanoscale imaging, but its high-vacuum requirements make application to in-liquid samples extremely challenging. Here we present a new graphene based wet cell device where high resolution scan...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the filler compositions of recently available light-cured resins. The composition of each resin paste was evaluated using an energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometer. Scanning electron microscopic observation of the polymerized resin pastes was also conducted. The main component of each resin composite was Si, while the other elements detected ...

Aim To compare new remineralizing agents calcium sodium phosphosilicate paste and casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate (CPP-ACP) paste with that of fluoridated toothpaste in remineralization of early carious lesions using scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray (SEM-EDX) analysis. Materials and methods Sixty sound extracted premolars were collected and placed in ...

Tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) was recently shown to detoxify heavy metals by exudation of metals as a metalsubstituted calcite (calcium carbonate) through leaf trichomes. In this paper, we describe the applications of the variablepressure scanning electron microscopy (VP-SEM) system to investigate tobacco trichomes exudates after heavy metal treatment. An energy-dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX) sy...
