The current imaging trend in optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) or transmission electron microscopy (TEM) is to record all data digitally. Most manufacturers currently market digital acquisition systems with their microscope packages. The advantages of digital acquisition include: almost instant viewing of the data as a high-quality positive image (a major benefit when compared to TEM images recorded onto film, where one must wait until after the microscope session to develop the images); the ability to readily quantify features in the images and measure intensities; and extremely compact storage (removable 5.25” storage devices which now can hold up to several gigabytes of data).

ABSTRACTA systematic study is presented of the heteroepitaxial growth of B12As2 on m-plane 15R-SiC. In contrast to previous studies of B12As2 on other substrates, including (100) Si, (110) Si, (111) Si and (0001) 6H-SiC, single crystalline and untwinned B12As2 was achieved on m-plane 15R-SiC. Observations of IBA on m-plane (1100)15R-SiC by synchrotron white beam x-ray topography (SWBXT) and high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) confirm the good quality of the films on the 15R-SiC substrates. The growth mechanism of IBA on m-plane 15R-SiC is discussed. This work demonstrates that m-plane 15R-SiC is potentially a good substrate choice to grow high quality B12As2 epilayers.

The mature spermatozoa from Bothrimonus sturionis (Pseudophyllidea), Pseudanthobothrium hanseni (Tetraphyllidea), and Monoecocestus americanus (Cyclophyllidea) were examined using transmission electron microscopy. Transverse sections of the sperm of B. sturionis indicate that the number of sperm axonemes varies from one to eight, with approximately one-third of the sperm containing two axonemes. Likewise, the number of peripheral microtubules lying just within the external plasma membrane varies from 12 to 20. The nucleus is electron lucent and fibrous in appearance. The spermatozoa of B. sturionis show great variation in the material examined and the majority of them are believed to be aberrant. The spermatozoon of P. hanseni contains a single axoneme with the nucleus wrapped in a crescent around it in the anterior region of the sperm. The posterior portion of the spermatozoon is characterized by a helical flange which projects from the main body of the sperm. The spermatozoon of M. americanus is elongate and slender, containing a single axoneme with an electron-dense nucleus coiled around it in the anterior one-third of the sperm. Electron-opaque bodies, which may be glycogen, fill the cytoplasm. The spermatozoa of all three species contain neither an acrosome nor mitochondria. The flagella of all the spermatozoa have a 9 + "1" arrangement of microtubules. The importance of the ultrastructure of spermatozoa in the phylogeny and taxonomy of cestodes is discussed.

Joining of melt-textured YBa2Cu3O7-δ (Y123) grains has been achieved without use of an external agent. The technique uses barium-cuprate liquid phase released from platelet boundaries to mediate the growth of Y123 at the interface between two grains. The epitaxial nature and high quality of the growth was determined by optical and transmission electron microscopy. The composition of Ba–Cu–O phases found in some parts of the joins was determined by electron probe microanalysis. A clean low-angle join was found to consist of a grain boundary with dislocation networks and facets. Transport critical current measurements on this type of join revealed strongly coupled behavior. The technique shows promise for the joining of melt-textured material for power engineering applications.

ABSTRACTSemi-coherent Y2O3 (yttria) inclusions have been observed in high quality, c-axis oriented YBa2Cu3O6+×,(YBCO) Alms. The inclusions were studied by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and were found to be embedded in the YBCO matrix without disturbing its structure seriously. Their number density is estimated to higher than 2 × 1016 cm−3 in epitaxial YBCO films, having transport critical current densities in excess of 1 × 106 A cm−2 at 77 K. Magnetization measurements indicate a possible correlation between a high density of yttria inclusions and high pinning strength. The effects of the inclusions on film growth and microstructure is discussed.

Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) continues to play an important role in diagnostic surgical pathology, particularly in such areas as kidney pathology and tumor diagnosis, among others. Diagnostic TEM is subject to unique time constraints, quality control regulations, and other problems not seen in other TEM applications. The diagnostic TEM laboratory must produce high-quality electron microscopy on small samples which frequently are suboptirnal in fixation and tissue quality due to the pathology involved and time factors associated with biopsy and surgery.

Highly pure, ultralong, and uniform-sized semiconductor nanowires in bulk quantity were synthesized by thermal evaporation or laser ablation of semiconductor powders mixed with oxides. Transmission electron microscopy study shows that decomposition of semiconductor suboxides and defect structures play important roles in enhancing the formation and growth of high-quality nanowires. A new growth mechanism is proposed on the basis of microstructure and different morphologies of the nanowires observed.

Multibeam and bright field transmission electron microscopy are used to determine the structure of (InAs)1/(AlAs)15 superlattices. The interest of InAs/AlAs system arises from the large gap difference. The main problem in the obtention of strained layer superlattices (SLS), with a large lattice mismach, 7% is that of controlling the growth process to obtain high quality layers with sharp interfaces.A modification of the conventional MBE technique, Atomic Layer Molecular Beam Epitaxy (ALMBE) seems to be very appropiate for the growth of such strained layer structures. In particular, high quality layers of materials that demand different growth conditions by MBE, like InAs and AlAs can be obtained at a common low substrate temperature (350-400°) by ALMBE due to the ability to force 2D or layer by layer nucleation and growth. Present superlattices are part of a series with structure (AlAs)15/(InAs)n (n = 1, 2, 3 and 5 ml) whose study by HREM is under way in order to determine critical thickness limits.
