AbstractThe use of a high-brightness field emission gun and novel secondary electron detection systems makes it possible to acquire nanometer-resolution surface images of bulk materials, even at low electron beam voltages. The advantages of low-voltage SEM include enhanced surface sensitivity, reduced sample charging on non-conducting materials, and significantly reduced electron range and interaction volume. High-resolution images formed by collecting the backscattered electron signal can give information about the size and spatial distribution of metal nanoparticles in supported catalysts. Low-voltage XEDS can provide compositional information of bulk samples with enhanced surface sensitivity and significantly improved spatial resolution. High-resolution SEM techniques enhance our ability to detect and, subsequently, analyze the composition of nanoparticles in supported metal catalysts. Applications of high-resolution SEM imaging and microanalysis techniques to the study of industrial supported catalysts are discussed.

Abstract X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) has been used to study the interactions of heavy metal ions with DNA with some success. Surface sensitivity and selectivity of XPS are advantageous for identifying and characterizing the chemical and elemental structure of the DNA to metal interaction. This review summarizes the status of what amounts to a large part of the photoemission investigations of biomolecule interactions with metals and offers insight into the mechanism for heavy metal-bio interface interactions. Specifically, it is seen that metal interaction with DNA results in conformational changes in the DNA structure.
