Aim: The current work highlighted a novel colorimetric sensor based on aptamer and molybdenum disulfide (MoS2)-gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) that was developed for cocaine detection with high sensitivity. Materials & methods: Due to the presence of the plasmon resonance band on the surface of AuNPs, AuNPs aggregated and the color was changed from red to blue after adding a certain concentration of NaCl. We used MoS2 to optimize the sensing system of AuNPs. The folded conformation of the aptamer in combination with cocaine enhanced the salt tolerance of the MoS2-AuNPs, effectively preventing their aggregation. Results & conclusion: The detection limit of cocaine was 7.49 nM with good selectivity. The method based on MoS2-AuNPs colorimetry sensor is simple, quick, label-free and low cost.

In the electron microscopy of biological sections the adverse effect of chromatic aberration on image resolution is well known. In this paper calculations are presented for the inelastic and elastic image intensities using a wave-optical formulation. Quantitative estimates of the deterioration in image resolution as a result of chromatic aberration are presented as an alternative to geometric calculations. The predominance of inelastic scattering in the unstained biological and polymeric materials is shown by the inelastic to elastic ratio, I/E, within an objective aperture of 0.005 rad for amorphous carbon of a thickness, t=50nm, typical of biological sections; E=200keV, I/E=16.
