Size Analysis ◽

Nail dust particles were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy for size and topography. The percentage of "fines" that could be inhaled and deposited in the alveoli and bronchioles were determined by quantitative particle size analysis. Distribution representing the largest total mass was graphed between 1 and 2 microns. The authors found that 86% of nail dust would reach the bronchioles and alveoli, and 31% could be expected to deposit in these areas.

In this work, different commercial Co-Cr-Mo powders were used in selective laser sintering. Commercial powders with particle size distribution between 5 and 50μm were sintered by laser sintering, and characterized. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction, indicating Co as the only crystalline phase. Relative density was measured by Archimedes method showing values between 90 and 96% of TD, depending on the powder used. Scanning electron microscopy performed on the cross section of the sintered samples, indicates that the microstructural features are similar, but the surface finish of the samples differ significantly due to the morphology and size distribution of the starting powders used.

Cotton Dust ◽

Particle size distributions of dusts generated in a model card room and collected on filter media by a vertical elutriator having a particle size cut-off of 15 μm dia have been determined using scanning electron microscopy. Photomicrographs, usually at 3000×, were made of the samples and the particle diameters were estimated by the Martin method. It was found that the average particle size of cotton dust samples measured by this technique was smaller than that reported in the literature obtained by light microscopy. It was also found that the distribution of particle sizes does not follow a simple log-normal distribution unless the smallest particles observed in this study are omitted. A bimodal or perhaps a multimodal distribution yields a better representation of the data. It is concluded that scanning electron microscopy is a practical and accurate method for sizing cotton dust particles on filter surfaces.

One of the advantages of scanning electron microscopy is the capability for processing the image contrast, i.e., the image processing technique. Crewe et al were the first to apply this technique to a field emission scanning microscope and show images of individual atoms. They obtained a contrast which depended exclusively on the atomic numbers of specimen elements (Zcontrast), by displaying the images treated with the intensity ratio of elastically scattered to inelastically scattered electrons. The elastic scattering electrons were extracted by a solid detector and inelastic scattering electrons by an energy analyzer. We noted, however, that there is a possibility of the same contrast being obtained only by using an annular-type solid detector consisting of multiple concentric detector elements.

Abstract This work intends to apprehend and emphasize the contribution of image-processing techniques and computer vision in the treatment of clay-based material known in Meknes region. One of the various characteristics used to describe clay in a qualitative manner is porosity, as it is considered one of the properties that with “kill or cure” effectiveness. For this purpose, we use scanning electron microscopy images, as they are considered the most powerful tool for characterising the quality of the microscopic pore structure of porous materials. We present various existing methods of segmentation, as we are interested only in pore regions. The results show good matching between physical estimation and Voronoi diagram-based porosity estimation.

AbstractThe present study investigates the effect of the solidification strategy for AA 6063 alloy on the surface appearance of anodized extrusions. The microstructure of the samples was analyzed using both light optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. Results show that if heavy segregation occurs from rapid solidification, coarse Mg2Si particles form, thus reducing the potential for precipitation strengthening by the finer β-Mg2Si developed in the solid state. Differentially-strained regions formed during hot extrusion induce differences in particle size for magnesium silicide (Mg2Si) precipitates. Anodizing generates surface roughness due to Mg2Si particle dissolution and AlFeSi decohesion, which is related to both particle size and deformation. During anodizing, an oxide layer forms on the surface of the extruded products, which can lead to streak formation, usually a subject of rejection due to unacceptable heterogeneous reflectivity.
