The structure and molecular weight of the microtubule-dependent ATPase, dynein, was first established by scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) of dynein isolated from the cilia of Tetrahymena. It was shown that dynein consists of three globular heads joined to a common base by three slender, flexible strands. The globular heads have a diameter of 10-12 nm and the strands are 24 nm in length, such that the particles are 35 nm overall. Mass analysis by integration of electron scattering intensities in the STEM established a molecular weight of 1.9 million, with each head contributing 420,000. Several lines of evidence suggested that the base anchors the dynein to the A-tubule and the three independent, globular heads interact with the B-tubule of the adjacent outerdoublet in an ATP-dependent reaction to produce a force for sliding.

The lateral growth habits and non-planar conformations of polyethylene crystals grown from dilute solutions (<0.1% wt./vol.) are known to vary depending on the crystallization temperature.1-3 With the notable exception of a study by Keith2, most previous studies have been limited to crystals grown at <95°C. The trend in the change of the lateral growth habit of the crystals with increasing crystallization temperature (other factors remaining equal, i.e. polymer mol. wt. and concentration, solvent) is illustrated in Fig.l. The lateral growth faces in the lozenge shaped type of crystal (Fig.la) which is formed at lower temperatures are {110}. Crystals formed at higher temperatures exhibit 'truncated' profiles (Figs. lb,c) and are bound laterally by (110) and (200} growth faces. In addition, the shape of the latter crystals is all the more truncated (Fig.lc), and hence all the more elongated parallel to the b-axis, the higher the crystallization temperature.

AbstractWe report optical and scanning transmission electron microscopy studies of germanium dots grown on silicon. In an attempt to control the self-organized growth process and promote dot size uniformity the dot layers were grown on a 4.5nm Si0.6Ge0.4 alloy template layer. Photoluminescence results indicate the formation of carrier confining Ge rich islands, whilst Raman scattering results indicate the presence of an alloy throughout the structures formed. The samples were studied in the UK high resolution scanning transmission electron microscopy facility at Liverpool, UK. Energy dispersive analysis of individual line scans through the sample show that the structures are composed of an alloy throughout with an asymmetric distribution of Germanium in the dots and in the wetting layer close to the dots. We discuss the results in the light of the proposed growth mode for these dots and conclude that attempts to manipulate the composition of these dots during growth may be problematic due to the self-organized nature of their formation.
