Scanning electron microscopy of fish scales has facilitated the application of micro-structures to systematics. Electron microscopy studies have added more information on the structure of the scale and the associated cells, many problems still remain unsolved, because of our incomplete knowledge of the process of calcification. One of the main purposes of these studies has been to study the histology, histochemistry, and ultrastructure of both calcified and decalcified scales, and associated cells, and to obtain more information on the mechanism of calcification in the scales. The study of a calcified scale with the electron microscope is complicated by the difficulty in sectioning this material because of the close association of very hard tissue with very soft tissues. Sections often shatter and blemishes are difficult to avoid. Therefore the aim of this study is firstly to develop techniques for the preparation of cross sections of fish scales for scanning electron microscopy and secondly the application of these techniques for the determination of the structures and calcification of fish scales.

Sodium alginate based films containing turmeric oil (TEO) at different concentrations (1, 2 and 3%) were developed. The film with no TEO was used as control. Incorporation of TEO had the effects on the film properties. With increasing TEO concentrations, thickness, elongation at break, permeability of oxygen and water vapor of the films significantly (p ≤ 0.05) increased. Whereas moisture content, tensile strength and modulus of elasticity significantly (p ≤ 0.05) decreased. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis showed more numerous pores and rougher surface of the antifungal films than the control film.

A nodule containing the cranium of a deepwater sculpin, Myoxocephalus thompsoni (Girard), was discovered in Pleistocene Champlain Sea deposits at Green Creek, 10 km east of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, and represents the first fossil reported for the species. It provides an additional basis for refuting derivation of the species from a post-Wisconsin marine submergence and suggests an origin at the beginning of the Wisconsin or earlier. Habitat preferences of the species favour an oligotrophic lacustrine environment with bottom summer temperatures below 8 °C in the Champlain Sea or nearby lake basin. The head length of the fossil is 28 mm, the estimated standard length 86 mm. Use of a longwave ultraviolet lamp with the fossil improved contrast between the bones and the clay matrix in photographs. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis of bone in the fossil failed to detect the presence of strontium.

AbstractThe morphology of blended polyurethane (PU) sealants was studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The PU was modifided by mechanical mixing with various amounts of Lignin (L) to achieve a homogeneous blend. Specimens were subjected to control (C), accelerated weathering (AW), and natural weathering (NW) conditions. Results obtained from SEM analysis reveal an even distribution of L particles in the PU matrix. Furthermore, the SEM photomicrographs clearly emphasize the differing morphologies of the constituent phases. They also depict the differences in surface texture between control and aged specimens. The DSC analysis shows that the two phases are immiscible which is in agreement with observations by microscopy.

Abstract. The macroscopic description of deformation and fluid flow in mudrocks can be improved by a better understanding of microphysical deformation mechanisms. Here we use a combination of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and broad ion beam (BIB) polishing to study the evolution of microstructure in samples of triaxially deformed Callovo–Oxfordian Clay. Digital image correlation (DIC) was used to measure strain field in the samples and as a guide to select regions of interest in the sample for BIB–SEM analysis. Microstructures show evidence for dominantly cataclastic and minor crystal plastic mechanisms (intergranular, transgranular, intragranular cracking, grain rotation, clay particle bending) down to the nanometre scale. At low strain, the dilatant fabric contains individually recognisable open fractures, while at high strain the reworked clay gouge also contains broken non-clay grains and smaller pores than the undeformed material, resealing the initial fracture porosity.
