The optical sectioning method of confocal laser scanning microscopy provides higher resolution than standard light microscope techniques. The use of optical rather than physical sections for detailed histological analyses of bone obviates the need for either decalcification or complex plastic embedding processes which are required as a routine for the preparation of thin microtome sections. In this study we have used confocal laser scanning microscopy for the morphological analyses of fresh unembedding human cortical bone, bone allograft and bone cement interfaces. Our results have indicated that such an approach has provided a relatively easy and rapid means for the assessment of the histology of normal and pathological bone.

The programmable array microscope (PAM) is a powerful tool combining the capabilities of nearly all previously described optical sectioning techniques in a single microscope. Not only can the user create optical sections of threedimensional objects, but the PAM's unique adaptive optical strategy allows a user to select the best sectioning method for a particular sample or experimental need. The key to the PAM is a spatial light modulator (SLM). This device, when placed in the image plane of a microscope, can be used to create optical sectioning, generate spatial encoding masks, and/or define regions of interest.

An anodic oxide film is formed on aluminum in an acidic elecrolyte during anodizing. The structure of the oxide film was observed directly by carbon replica method(l) and ultra-thin sectioning method(2). The oxide film consists of barrier layer and porous layer constructed with fine hexagonal cellular structure. The diameter of micro pores and the thickness of barrier layer depend on the applying voltage and electrolyte. Because the dimension of the pore corresponds to that of colloidal particles, many metals deposit in the pores. When the oxide film is treated as anode in emulsion of polyelectrolyte, the emulsion particles migrate onto the film and deposit on it. We investigated the behavior of the emulsion particles during electrodeposition.Aluminum foils (99.3%) were anodized in either 0.25M oxalic acid solution at 30°C or 3M sulfuric acid solution at 20°C. After washing with distilled water, the oxide films used as anode were coated with emulsion particles by applying voltage of 200V and then they were cured at 190°C for 30 minutes.

Obtaining the three-dimensional (3D) structure of negatively stained biological specimens at a resolution of, typically, 2 - 4 nm is becoming a relatively common practice in an increasing number of laboratories. A combination of new conceptual approaches, new software tools, and faster computers have made this situation possible. However, all these 3D reconstruction processes are quite computer intensive, and the middle term future is full of suggestions entailing an even greater need of computing power. Up to now all published 3D reconstructions in this field have been performed on conventional (sequential) computers, but it is a fact that new parallel computer architectures represent the potential of order-of-magnitude increases in computing power and should, therefore, be considered for their possible application in the most computing intensive tasks.We have studied both shared-memory-based computer architectures, like the BBN Butterfly, and local-memory-based architectures, mainly hypercubes implemented on transputers, where we have used the algorithmic mapping method proposed by Zapata el at. In this work we have developed the basic software tools needed to obtain a 3D reconstruction from non-crystalline specimens (“single particles”) using the so-called Random Conical Tilt Series Method. We start from a pair of images presenting the same field, first tilted (by ≃55°) and then untilted. It is then assumed that we can supply the system with the image of the particle we are looking for (ideally, a 2D average from a previous study) and with a matrix describing the geometrical relationships between the tilted and untilted fields (this step is now accomplished by interactively marking a few pairs of corresponding features in the two fields). From here on the 3D reconstruction process may be run automatically.

We have studied the eukaryotic ribosome from two vertebrate species (rabbit reticulocyte and chick embryo ribosomes) in several different electron microscopic preparations (Fig. 1a-d), and we have applied image processing methods to two of the types of images. Reticulocyte ribosomes were examined in both negative stain (0.5% uranyl acetate, in a double-carbon preparation) and frozen hydrated preparation as single-particle specimens. In addition, chick embryo ribosomes in tetrameric and crystalline assemblies in frozen hydrated preparation have been examined. 2D averaging, multivariate statistical analysis, and classification methods have been applied to the negatively stained single-particle micrographs and the frozen hydrated tetramer micrographs to obtain statistically well defined projection images of the ribosome (Fig. 2a,c). 3D reconstruction methods, the random conical reconstruction scheme and weighted back projection, were applied to the negative-stain data, and several closely related reconstructions were obtained. The principal 3D reconstruction (Fig. 2b), which has a resolution of 3.7 nm according to the differential phase residual criterion, can be compared to the images of individual ribosomes in a 2D tetramer average (Fig. 2c) at a similar resolution, and a good agreement of the general morphology and of many of the characteristic features is seen.Both data sets show the ribosome in roughly the same ’view’ or orientation, with respect to the adsorptive surface in the electron microscopic preparation, as judged by the agreement in both the projected form and the distribution of characteristic density features. The negative-stain reconstruction reveals details of the ribosome morphology; the 2D frozen-hydrated average provides projection information on the native mass-density distribution within the structure. The 40S subunit appears to have an elongate core of higher density, while the 60S subunit shows a more complex pattern of dense features, comprising a rather globular core, locally extending close to the particle surface.

There was a method developed that generates the three-dimensional model of not axisymmetric produce, based on an arbitrary number of photos. The model can serve as a basis for calculating the surface area and the volume of produce. The efficiency of the reconstruction was tested on bell peppers and artificial shapes. In case of bell peppers 3-dimensional reconstruction was created from 4 images rotated in 45° angle intervals. The surface area and the volume were estimated on the basis of the reconstructed area. Furthermore, a new and simple reference method was devised to give precise results for the surface area of bell pepper. The results show that this 3D reconstruction-based surface area and volume calculation method is suitable to determine the surface area and volume of definite bell peppers with an acceptable error.
