Ferroelastic Domains

Polarized light microscopy reveals twin domains and symmetry of the phases in CH3NH3PbBr3 crystal; domain structure remains unresponsive to electric field but changes under external stress, confirming ferroelasticity while ruling out ferroelectricity.

Area Of Interest

Having been brought up on monocular microscopes I find the omnipresent binocular systems a luxury. To support this viewpoint I'd like to suggest some benefits you may not have considered.Because I'm used to monocular viewing I sometimes use two different oculars, say 10X and 25X, in order to scan quickly to find an area of interest and then to examine the detail with higher magnification. Occasionally I use both oculars simultaneously and “concentrate” on either image to the exclusion of the other. A better way is to set the interocular distance at the extreme setting most different from your own interocular distance. By moving your head about a centimeter either way you can use either ocular.

Quantitative Results

Objective In order to appreciate the roles articular cartilage of sesamoid bones and sesamoid fibrocartilage play in anatomy and pathology, the articular cartilage of the patella ( n = 4) and suprapatella ( n = 4) (a sesamoid fibrocartilage) of 12 to 14 weeks old New Zealand rabbits were studied qualitatively and quantitatively. Design/Method The intact knee joints and block specimens from the joints were imaged using microscopic magnetic resonance imaging (µMRI) at a 97.6-µm pixel resolution for the former and 19.5-µm resolution for the latter. Histological sections were made out of the µMRI-imaged specimens, which were imaged using polarized light microscopy (PLM) at 0.25-, 1-, and 4-µm pixel resolutions. Results The patella cartilage varied in thickness across the medial to lateral ends of the sesamoid bone with the central medial aspect slightly thicker than the lateral aspect. The suprapatella fibrocartilage decreased proximally away from the knee joint. Quantitative results of patellar cartilage showed strong dependence of fiber orientation with the tissue depth. Three histological zones can be clearly observed, which are similar to articular cartilage from other large animals. The sesamoid fibrocartilage has one thin surface layer (10 µm thick) of parallel-arranged structured fibers followed immediately by the majority of random fibers in bulk tissue. T2 relaxation time anisotropy was observed in the patellar cartilage but not in the bulk fibrocartilage. Conclusion Given the different functions of these 2 different types of cartilages in joint motion, these quantitative results will be beneficial to future studies of joint diseases using rabbits as the animal model.
