In order to study the retention of copper in cirrhotic liver, rats were made cirrhotic by carbon tetrachloride inhalation twice weekly for three months and fed 0.2% copper acetate ad libidum in drinking water for one month. The liver tissue was fixed in osmium, sectioned approximately 2000 Å thick, and stained with lead citrate. The section was examined in a scanning electron microscope (JEOLCO JSM-2) in the transmission electron mode.Figure 1 shows a typical area that includes a red blood cell in a sinusoid, a disse, and a portion of the cytoplasm of a hepatocyte which contains several mitochondria, peribiliary dense bodies, glycogen granules, and endoplasmic reticulum.

The role that scanning electron microscopy (SEM) is playing in descriptive helminthology is becoming more apparent in the literature. However, the majority of papers on the SEM of helminths have used conventional or modified light microscope techniques of fixation and dehydration, and not established SEM techniques in which freeze- and critical point-drying are routinely used. The present investigation was undertaken to examine the applicability of modified scanning and transmission electron microscope techniques for the preparation of certain helminths for SEM.Method I.– Live animal-parasitic nematodes were fixed in 6% phosphate buffered glutaraldehyde for 24 hr at room temperature.

A rapid method towards nanoPbS on peacock feathers was reported and this is inspired by a hair-dyeing technology used in Ancient Egypt thousands of years ago. Original peacock feather was sulfhydrylated by 2, 3-dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) dissolved in alcohol to enhance reaction sites, and then was immersed in the saturated PbO solution in calcium hydroxide and got the PbS peacock feather. The whole process is only two steps and could be completed within two hours. The morphology and structures of the sample were measured by the X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and transmission electron microscope (TEM) and results showed that the structure of original peacock feather was well duplicated. Compared with previous works, this method is faster and more efficient and thus has potentials to fabricate other functional sulfides.

A collection of Paraliomyces lentiferus from Taiwan, Republic of China, is compared with that of the type description and examined at both scanning and transmission electron microscope levels as part of our review of the taxonomy of the marine Ascomycotina. Particular attention was devoted to the structure of the ascospore appendage. The ascospore wall comprises a mesosporium, an episporium, and a mucilaginous sheath (exosporium?) In addition, there is a single, gelatinous, lateral appendage adjacent to the central septum. The appendage comprises electron-opaque fibrils that in immature ascospores are connected to the ascospore wall via fine electron-opaque strands and larger electron-opaque aggregates of material. The origin of the appendage is discussed. Key words: ascospore, attachment, marine ascomycete, scanning electron microscopy, spore appendage, transmission electron microscopy.

As part of a comparative study of the structure and function of pore structures in heterobasidiomycetous yeasts, dikaryotic hyphae of Schizophyllum commune were subjected to chemical fixation, freeze fracturing, maceration, and freeze substitution, and were subsequently prepared for scanning electron microscopy. The interior of the hyphal cell was visualized and revealed the perforated septal pore cap or parenthesome, mitochondria, vacuoles, and tubular endoplasmic reticulum. The septal pore cap showed connections with tubular endoplasmic reticulum. This tubular endoplasmic reticulum covered the dolipore septal surface. The results presented here complement and extend the ultrastructural image of the septal pore cap obtained from transmission electron micrographs.Key words: septal pore cap, Schizophyllum commune, freeze fracture, maceration, scanning electron microscopy.

Ternary NaFeS2nanorods were synthesized by solvothermal technique from Fe2O3and Na2S2O3·H2O in ethylenediamine (en) solvent. The phase, morphology, microstructure and magnetic property of the nanorods were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscope and vibrating sample magnetometer. The possible growth mechanism of NaFeS2nanorods was discussed.

Conidiogenesis and conidial morphology in two Pseudospiropes species, anamorphs of two unnamed Strossmayeria species, were studied using light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy, and for one of these, transmission electron microscopy. Conidiogenesis is clearly holoblastic. In these species there are approximately 10 cells per conidium, the apical and basal ones being darker than the others. A gel surrounds the conidium, and what probably is a gelatinous appendage is seen at its apex. The conidial wall is composed of at least eight layers, the exterior surface being distinctly poroid. There are columnar irregularities in the conidial walls. These morphological features have potential taxonomic importance.

Nocardia polychromogenes is an aerobic, gram (+), non-motile, partially acid-fast actinomycete with primary mycelia that fragment into bacillary and coccoid elements.For scanning electron microscopy, N. polychromogenes culture strain Waksman 3409-A was grown on Potato Dextrose Agar at 25 C for 12-72 h. Five mm2 sections of the colonies, including portions of the interior and perimeter were fixed by exposure to osmium fumes for 16-24 h and air dried for 2 h. Specimens, mounted on stubs and sputter coated with gold, were viewed in a Cambridge Stereoscan Mark II scanning electron microscope. For transmission electron microscopy, the organism was grown on Potato Dextrose Agar at 25 C for 12-32 h. Whole colonies, 1-2 mm in diameter, were fixed by exposure to osmium fumes for 24 h. After suspension in noble agar, cells taken from the periphery of the fixed colonies were stained with 0. 5% uranyl acetate made in acetate-veranol buffer.

AbstractThe solidification structure of ferritic stainless steel can be refined by controlling the contents of Ti, O, and N in the liquid steel through the thermodynamic analysis and high-temperature experiment. It is found by the scanning electron microscopy technology, in which the composite core of Ti nitride-enwrapping Ti oxide can be formed in the solidification front, which promotes the nucleation of δ iron and refines the solidification structure. Meanwhile, the structure analysis of the composite core by the transmission electron microscope technology proves that the Ti oxide that exists in the centre of the composite core is Ti2O3 and the Ti nitride that exists in the outer layer of the composite core is TiN.

A purpose of microscopy is to magnify and enhance contrast between different regions of a sample, whether those regions may be different structures, different orientations of the same structure, regions of different atomic weight, or different chemistries. In the present case, elemental mapping in the energy filtered transmission electron microscope (EFTEM) is used to enhance contrast between elements in an apparent bundle of fibers previously seen through scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and a particle that appears to be a catalytic source for the fibers.
