The atomic force microscope (AFM) is capable of imaging electrically conductive and non-conductive surfaces at atomic resolution. When used to image biological samples, however, lateral resolution is often limited to nanometer levels, due primarily to AFM tip/sample interactions. Several approaches to immobilize and stabilize soft or flexible molecules for AFM have been examined, notably, tethering coating, and freezing. Although each approach has its advantages and disadvantages, rapid freezing techniques have the special advantage of avoiding chemical perturbation, and minimizing physical disruption of the sample. Scanning with an AFM at cryogenic temperatures has the potential to image frozen biomolecules at high resolution. We have constructed a force microscope capable of operating immersed in liquid n-pentane and have tested its performance at room temperature with carbon and metal-coated samples, and at 143° K with uncoated ferritin and purple membrane (PM).

Abstract SSC Invar 36 was developed for use in applications where dimensional stability is essential. It is a nickel-iron alloy with a very low coefficient of thermal expansion from cryogenic temperatures to 200 deg C (390 deg F). It is utilized in aerospace composite tooling and die applications, as well as laser components, and cryogenic components and piping: liquefied natural gas production, storage, and transportation. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, and tensile properties. It also includes information on corrosion resistance as well as forming. Filing Code: Fe-158. Producer or source: Sandmeyer Steel Company. Originally published December 2011, revised February 2012.

Abstract INCONEL alloy X-750 is an age-hardenable, nickel-chromium alloy used for its corrosion and oxidation resistance and high creep rupture strength at temperature up to 1500 F. It also has excellent properties at cryogenic temperatures. It was originally developed for use in gas turbines, but because of its low cost, high strength and weldability it has become the standards choice for a wide variety of applications. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, elasticity, and tensile properties as well as creep and fatigue. It also includes information on forming, heat treating, machining, joining, and surface treatment. Filing Code: Ni-115. Producer or source: Huntington Alloy Products Division, An INCO Company.

Abstract USS 18-8S (AISI Type 304) and USS 18-8I (AISI Type 304L) are austenitic chromium-nickel steels that are easy to fabricate and weld. They combine high strength with excellent stability and shock resistance, even at cryogenic temperatures. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, hardness, elasticity, and tensile properties as well as fracture toughness, creep, and fatigue. It also includes information on low temperature performance and corrosion resistance as well as forming, heat treating, and joining. Filing Code: SS-305. Producer or source: United States Steel Corporation.

В статье представлены результаты исследования возможности применения при криогенных температурах водородного уровня дискретных приборов и монолитных схем на основе нитрида галлия в составе малошумящих усилителей сантиметрового и миллиметрового диапазона длин волн для приемных устройств систем дистанционного зондирования Земли из космоса и в составе криогенных комплексов наблюдения космического пространства. The article presents the results of the research on the possibility of using discrete devices and gallium nitride monolithic circuits at the cryogenic temperatures of hydrogen level as part of low-noise amplifiers of centimeter and millimeter-wave bands used in receivers of Earth remote sensing space systems and in cryogenic systems for space observation.

The reading of Coleridge’s “Frost at Midnight” at the center of this chapter opens up the cognitive and aesthetic stakes of seeing writing. It does so by analyzing the encounter with visible script, an experience that can be understood as a reworking of a previously unrecognized source, the scene of writing in David Hume’s A Treatise of Human Nature, Book 4. Just such an encounter is the activity in play with the figure of the window frost and with the entire poem. Broadly speaking, sentence formation is seen as analogous to frost formation. In this way, the discussion seeks to shift the sensory register of criticism of the poem from its traditional emphasis on the acoustic to a new appreciation of the visible.
