An alternative approach towards the measurement of loop length while in fabric form is proposed employing techniques of scanning electron microscopy and aerogrammetry. Distortions inherent in the recorded image have been taken into account by obtaining coordinates at intervals as determined by a micrograph of a cross-ruled grid. The lengths of all the resultant elements have been summed to obtain an estimate of the loop length, which was found to be 4–5% different from that obtained using the HATRA (Hosiery and Allied Trades Research Association, Nottingham, England) Course Length Tester. Some suggestions are offered for improving the estimated loop length by obtaining coordinates for both the face and back views of the same knitted loop. It is proposed that a similar approach would be beneficial towards an understanding of parameters governing the geometry of the knitted loop.

One of the main tasks in the study of historic buildings is the need to identify the original materials and extensions, which often have historic character. The next task concerns the determination of the composition and structure of the historical, diagnosis technique to develop original paint. The article presents the preliminary results of paintings. Methods were used with the scanning electron microscope was equipped with an energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer (SEM-EDS).

In order to investigate the diatom distribution in the five lakes along the Yangtze River, and discuss the significance for the diagnosis of drowning. 6 water samples were collected in the five lakes along Yangtze River in June, 2012. Subsequently, The genus and the quantity of the diatoms in the water samples were investigated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The result showed us that there was significant difference between the waters sampled from the different sites . These data on diatom distribution are helpful to the diagnosis of the cause of the death as well as to the determination of the drowning site in cases of drowning. Therefore, it is necessary to develop the database of diatoms in more extensive water bodies for the forensic diagnosis of drowning in the future.

<p>An energetic co-crystal consisting of the most promising military explosive 2,4,6,8,10,12-hexanitro-2,4,6,8,10,12-hexaazaisowurtzitane (CL-20) and the most well-known oxidant applied in propellants ammonium perchlorate has been prepared with a simple solvent evaporation method. Scanning electron microscopy revealed that the morphology of co-crystal differs greatly from each component. The X-ray diffraction spectrum, FTIR, Raman spectra, and differential scanning calorimetry characterisation further prove the formation of the co-crystal. The result of determination of hygroscopic rate indicated the hygroscopicity was effectively reduced. At last, the crystallisation mechanism has been discussed.</p>

AbstractPersistence of gunshot residue (GSR) simultaneously collected from hands, face and hair, and clothing of the shooting person was examined. Samples were collected from five shooters in nine time intervals after a single shoot with a Luger 9 mm pistol, in the range of 0–4 h and examined with scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry. Numbers of particles, frequencies of occurrence of certain compositions of particles, and their sizes in function of the time intervals were inspected. The greatest numbers of particles were observed in samples collected from hands right after shooting, but they decrease quickly with time. In samples collected from the face smaller initial numbers of particles were found, but they lasted at a similar level longer. The estimated half-life times of particles were less than 1 h for samples taken from the hands, over 1 h for clothing and about 2–3 h for the face. In samples collected at longer intervals after shooting, there were particles present of small sizes and irregular shapes. The results demonstrate that including evidence collected from the suspect's face and hair may increase the probability of detection of GSR in cases when the suspect has not been apprehended immediately after the investigated incident.
