What are the components of oil? Oil is a complex combination of various hydrocarbons (carbon-based compounds with hydrogen atoms attached). Petroleum hydrocarbons are the primary constituents in oil, gasoline, diesel, and a variety of solvents. Oil and related substances don’t generally mix with water...

It is suggested that the diffuse interstellar lines are produced in the interstellar gas by molecules consisting of a few hydrogen atoms and one other atom, such as CH4+ or NH4. Diffuseness of the lines is assumed to result from predissociation of these molecules.

In attempting to use the SEM to investigate the transition from the vegetative to the floral state in oat (Avena sativa L.) it was discovered that the procedures of fixation and critical point drying (CPD), and fresh tissue examination of the specimens gave unsatisfactory results. In most cases, by using these techniques, cells of the tissue were collapsed or otherwise visibly distorted. Figure 1 shows the results of fixation with 4.5% formaldehyde-gluteraldehyde followed by CPD. Almost all cellular detail has been obscured by the resulting shrinkage distortions. The larger cracks seen on the left of the picture may be due to dissection damage, rather than CPD. The results of observation of fresh tissue are seen in Fig. 2. Although there is a substantial improvement over CPD, some cell collapse still occurs.Due to these difficulties, it was decided to experiment with cold stage techniques. The specimens to be observed were dissected out and attached to the sample stub using a carbon based conductive paint in acetone.
