We investigated the effects of gravity and branching on gas mixing in glass tube models. The mixed gas (5% He and 5% SF6) was made to flow through a straight tube and tubes with bifurcated branches, and the effective axial diffusion coefficient (Deff) was measured. The direction of the branches was varied from upward to downward by 90% turns, and the flow distribution to each branch was separately controlled. In the case of a straight horiontal tube, the flow velocity dependency of the Deff of He and SF6 was observed as we expected from Aris' equation. In the case of glass tubes with branches, the Deff of SF6 was greater in the downward-directed branches than it was in the upward-directed branches when gas mixing occurred at the front of the gas mixture; however, when gas mixing occurred at the tail, the opposite effects were observed. These characteristics were more marked at slower flow rates and when the flow to each branch was different. Our findings suggest that gravity has an effect on gas mixing in glass tube airway models, especially at a low flow rate and uneven flow distribution.

HeLa cells were grown for 2-3 days in EAGLE'S minimum essential medium with 10% calf serum (S-MEM; Seromed, München) and then incubated for 24 hours in serum free medium (MEM). After detaching the cells with a solution of 0. 14 % EDTA and 0. 07 % trypsin (Difco, 1 : 250) they were suspended in various solutions (S-MEM = control, MEM, buffered salt solutions with or without Me++ions, 0. 9 % NaCl solution) and allowed to settle on glass tube slips (Leighton-tubes). After 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 1 45, 60 minutes 2, 3, 4, 5 hours cells were prepared for scanning electron microscopy as described by Paweletz and Schroeter. The preparations were examined in a Jeol SEM (JSM-U3) at 25 KV without tilting.The suspended spherical HeLa cells are able to adhere to the glass support in all solutions. The rate of attachment, however, is faster in solutions without serum than in the control. The latter is in agreement with the findings of other authors.

Overall Performance

The electron source is the most important component of the Scanning electron microscope (SEM) since it is this which will determine the overall performance of the machine. The gun performance can be described in terms of quantities such as its brightness, its source size, its energy spread, and its stability and, depending on the chosen application, any of these factors may be the most significant one. The task of the electron gun in an SEM is, in fact, particularly difficult because of the very wide range of operational parameters that may be required e.g a variation in probe size of from a few angstroms to a few microns, and a probe current which may go from less than a pico-amp to more than a microamp. This wide range of operating parameters makes the choice of the optimum source for scanning microscopy a difficult decision.Historically, the first step up from the sealed glass tube ‘cathode ray generator’ was the simple, diode, tungsten thermionic emitter.

We have indicated that the lighter atoms such as oxygen in Cu2O can be observed at the specimen with optimal thicknesses based on the dynamic effect of electron diffraction(1). This rule in principle should hold good for the imaging of other lighter atoms such as sulphur atom in Cu2S. However, this point of view needs further experimentally confirm because up to now only oxygen atoms have been observed in Cu2O and a series of new suboxides of copper and nickel (2). In addition, the sulphur atom is much heavier than oxygen one though is still lighter than copper atom. In the present report we provide such a confirmation.The crystallites of Cu2S shown in Fig.l were obtained by sulfurizing at 300°C of the copper thin film which was sealed in a glass tube with mg sulphur left on the tube wall in a vacuum of about 10-2 Pa. The energy dispersive spectrocscopy analysis indicated that they are the sulfides and the electron diffraction analysis indicated they have anti-fluorite structure.
