Intramembrane particles (IMP or MAP) are components of most biomembranes. They are visualized by freeze-fracture electron microscopy, and they probably represent replicas of integral membrane proteins. The presence of MAP in biomembranes has been extensively investigated but their detailed ultrastructure has been largely ignored. In this study, we have attempted to lay groundwork for a systematic evaluation of MAP ultrastructure. Using mathematical modeling methods, we have simulated the electron optical appearances of idealized globular proteins as they might be expected to appear in replicas under defined conditions. By comparing these images with the apearances of MAPs in replicas, we have attempted to evaluate dimensional and shape distortions that may be introduced by the freeze-fracture technique and further to deduce the actual shapes of integral membrane proteins from their freezefracture images.

The structure of grain boundaries (GBs) in metals, semiconductors and ceramics is of considerable interest because of their influence on physical properties. Progress in understanding the structure of grain boundaries at the atomic level has been made by high resolution electron microscopy (HREM) . In the present study, a Σ=13, (510) <001>-tilt grain boundary in silicon was characterized by HREM in conjunction with digital image processing and computer image simulation techniques.The bicrystals were grown from the melt by the Czochralski method, using preoriented seeds. Specimens for TEM observations were cut from the bicrystals perpendicular to the common rotation axis of pure tilt grain boundary, and were mechanically dimpled and then ion-milled to electron transparency. The degree of misorientation between the common <001> axis of the bicrystal was measured by CBED in a Philips EM 400ST/FEG: it was found to be less than 1 mrad. HREM was performed at 200 kV in an ISI-002B and at 400 kv in a JEM-4000EX.
