This paper focuses on the influence of sample preparation on the multi scale structure of sand-clay mixtures. Three different protocols to mix silica and kaolinite were tested in the laboratory to identify the one providing the most homogeneous microstructure. From the macroscopic to the microscopic scales, optical observation, 3D X-ray tomography, 2D scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and 2D environmental scanning electron microscopy (ESEM) were carried out on wet and dry samples. This paper provides a first insight on the mechanisms of sand clay mixing from the cm to μm scale. Preliminary results demonstrate that the microstructures of the samples prepared by the three procedures have similar macroporosities based on imaging techniques. However, the preparation which consists in mixing the sand firstly, followed by water and clay provides a more homogeneous microstructure with silica grains well-surrounded by an oriented clay layering, probably due to a geometrical effect. Understanding the formation of the oriented clay layering brings microstructural features that will help to better explain the grain displacements and rotations during direct shear tests, the behaviour at the pile sand-clay soil interfaces and to formulate sand clay microstructure models.

Using standard techniques of scanning electron microscopy (SEM), over 1000 human hair defects have been studied. In several of the defects, the pathogenesis of the abnormality has been clarified using these techniques. It is the purpose of this paper to present several distinct morphologic abnormalities of hair and to discuss their pathogenesis as elucidated through techniques of scanning electron microscopy.

The structure of insect salivary glands has been extensively investigated during the past decade; however, none have attempted scanning electron microscopy (SEM) in ultrastructural examinations of these secretory organs. This study correlates fine structure by means of SEM cryofractography with that of thin-sectioned epoxy embedded material observed by means of transmission electron microscopy (TEM).Salivary glands of Gromphadorhina portentosa were excised and immediately submerged in cold (4°C) paraformaldehyde-glutaraldehyde fixative1 for 2 hr, washed and post-fixed in 1 per cent 0s04 in phosphosphate buffer (4°C for 2 hr). After ethanolic dehydration half of the samples were embedded in Epon 812 for TEM and half cryofractured and subsequently critical point dried for SEM. Dried specimens were mounted on aluminum stubs and coated with approximately 150 Å of gold in a cold sputtering apparatus.Figure 1 shows a cryofractured plane through a salivary acinus revealing topographical relief of secretory vesicles.

It is very useful if we can observe the identical cell elements within the same sections by light microscopy (LM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and/or scanning electron microscopy (SEM) sequentially, because, the cell fine structure can not be indicated by LM, while the color is; on the other hand, the cell fine structure can be very easily observed by EM, although its color properties may not. However, there is one problem in that LM requires thick sections of over 1 μm, while EM needs very thin sections of under 100 nm. Recently, we have developed a new method to observe the same cell elements within the same plastic sections using both light and transmission (conventional or high-voltage) electron microscopes.In this paper, we have developed two new observation methods for the identical cell elements within the same sections, both plastic-embedded and paraffin-embedded, using light microscopy, transmission electron microscopy and/or scanning electron microscopy (Fig. 1).
