ABSTRACTExperimental studies on deformation behavior of Cu-10Ni-6Sn spinodal alloy specimens subjected to different aging treatments were carried out at various temperatures ranging from 77°K to 353°K, using a micro-tensile device. It was found that the total elongation was independent of aging time as long as the modulated structure was coherent. Observed slip distribution and activation energy obtained in these investigations are presented. Transmission electron microscopy of deformed specimens showed straight dislocations in as-quenched samples; they were curved and wavy in aged samples. Burgers vector analysis of the dislocations present in the deformed aged samples indicated that they were of mixed character. Preliminary theoretical results on the role of wave-squaring of the internal stress field on CRSS are also presented.

AbstractThe ultrastructure of the normal human endolymphatic sac (ES) has been observed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The role of the epithelium, the various regions of the subepithelial space and the general anatomy of the ES in pressure regulation were morphologically studied to generate testable hypotheses of human ES function. Light microscopic (LM) and TEM evidence of pressure regulatory mechanisms by endolymph resorption, mechanical factors, and secretory activity are presented. These mechanisms may be useful in designing experimental studies of the ES, and in interpretation of retrospective LM and TEM studies of patients with Meniere's disease.

Longitudinal Orientation

To understand the role of boundaries in the deformation behavior of TiAl, in situ straining experiments in transmission electron microscopy have been performed on thin foils of polysynthetically twinned (PST) crystal of Ti–49.3 at.% Al. The deformation behavior of PST TiAl is anisotropic, depending on the angle between the lamellar boundaries and the straining axes. For L-orientation, deformation twins and ordinary dislocations transmit across the true-twin (TT) boundaries but are reflected at the pseudo-twin (PT) and rotational order-fault (RO) boundaries. For transverse (T) orientation, deformation twins are transmitted across all TT, PT, and RO boundaries. For I-orientation, shear deformation occurs parallel to the lamellar boundaries. There is a transmission of deformation across the interphase (IP) boundary in longitudinal orientation, but deformation is blocked and reflected at the IP boundary in T-orientation. The role of the various types of boundaries in localized deformation behavior was evaluated by considering Schmid factors and geometric compatibility factors.

The role of electron microscopy and associated techniques is assured in diagnostic pathology. At the present time, most of the progress has been made on tissues examined by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and correlated with light microscopy (LM) and by cytochemistry using both plastic and paraffin-embedded materials. As mentioned elsewhere in this symposium, this has revolutionized many fields of pathology including diagnostic, anatomic and clinical pathology. It began with the kidney; however, it has now been extended to most other organ systems and to tumor diagnosis in general. The results of the past few years tend to indicate the future directions and needs of this expanding field. Now, in addition to routine EM, pathologists have access to the many newly developed methods and instruments mentioned below which should aid considerably not only in diagnostic pathology but in investigative pathology as well.

Plastic deformation of alumina has been much studied; basal slip occurs and dislocation structures have been investigated by transmission electron microscopy (T.E.M.) (1). Non basal slip has been observed (2); the prismatic glide system <1010> {1210} has been obtained by compression tests between 1400°C and 1800°C (3). Dislocations with <0110> burgers vector were identified using a 100 kV microscope(4).We describe the dislocation structures after prismatic slip, using high voltage T.E.M. which gives much information.Compression tests were performed at constant strainrate (∿10-4s-1); the maximum deformation reached was 0.03. Thin sections were cut from specimens deformed at 1450°C, either parallel to the glide plane or perpendicular to the glide direction. After mechanical thinning, foils were produced by ion bombardment. Details on experimental techniques can be obtained through reference (3).

Cr thin films are often used as underlayers for Co alloy magnetic thin films, such as Co1, CoNi2, and CoNiCr3, for high density longitudinal magnetic recording. It is belived that the role of the Cr underlayer is to control the growth and texture of the Co alloy magnetic thin films, and, then, to increase the in plane coercivity of the films. Although many epitaxial relationship between the Cr underlayer and the magnetic films, such as ﹛1010﹜Co/ {110﹜Cr4, ﹛2110﹜Co/ ﹛001﹜Cr5, ﹛0002﹜Co/﹛110﹜Cr6, have been suggested and appear to be related to the Cr thickness, the texture of the Cr underlayer itself is still not understood very well. In this study, the texture of a 2000 Å thick Cr underlayer on Nip/Al substrate for thin films of (Co75Ni25)1-xTix dc-sputtered with - 200 V substrate bias is investigated by electron microscopy.

Imaging Conditions

Small dislocation loops observed by transmission electron microscopy exhibit a characteristic black-white strain contrast when observed under dynamical imaging conditions. In many cases, the topography and orientation of the image may be used to determine the nature of the loop crystallography. Two distinct but somewhat overlapping procedures have been developed for the contrast analysis and identification of small dislocation loops. One group of investigators has emphasized the use of the topography of the image as the principle tool for analysis. The major premise of this method is that the characteristic details of the image topography are dependent only on the magnitude of the dot product between the loop Burgers vector and the diffracting vector. This technique is commonly referred to as the (g•b) analysis. A second group of investigators has emphasized the use of the orientation of the direction of black-white contrast as the primary means of analysis.

Polycyclic Aromatic

The preparation of thin films of organic molecules is currently receiving much attention because of the need to produce good quality thin films for molecular electronics. We have produced thin films of the polycyclic aromatic, perylene C10H12 by evaporation under high vacuum onto a potassium chloride (KCl) substrate. The role of substrate temperature in determining the morphology and crystallography of the films was then investigated by transmission electron microscopy (TEM).The substrate studied was the (001) face of a freshly cleaved crystal of KCl. The temperature of the KCl was controlled by an electric heater or a cold finger. The KCl was heated to 200°C under a vacuum of 10-6 torr and allowed to cool to the desired temperature. The perylene was then evaporated over a period of one minute from a molybdenum boat at a distance of 10cm from the KCl. The perylene thin film was then backed with an amorphous layer of carbon and floated onto copper microscope grids.

The hermaphrodite duct of pulmonate snails connects the ovotestis to the fertilization pouch. The duct is typically divided into three zones; aproximal duct which leaves the ovotestis, the middle duct (seminal vesicle) and the distal ovotestis duct. The seminal vesicle forms the major portion of the duct and is thought to store sperm prior to copulation. In addition the duct may also play a role in sperm maturation and degredation. Although the structure of the seminal vesicle has been described for a number of snails at the light microscope level there appear to be only two descriptions of the ultrastructure of this tissue. Clearly if the role of the hermaphrodite duct in the reproductive biology of pulmonatesis to be understood, knowledge of its fine structure is required.Hermaphrodite ducts, both containing and lacking sperm, of species of the terrestrial pulmonate genera Sphincterochila, Levantina, and Helix and the marine pulmonate genus Siphonaria were prepared for transmission electron microscopy by standard techniques.

The Difference

The effect of aging time on the crushing performance of Al-0.5Mg-0.4Si alloy used for safety components of automobile was investigated by tensile test and crush test. Moreover, the microstructure of the alloy was investigated by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The results show that the localized deformation ductility index, ΔAabs, which is defined as the difference between total elongation and uniform elongation, of Al-0.5Mg-0.4Si alloy is 6.5%, 7.0% and 8.5%, respectively, after being aged at 210 °C for 1, 3 and 6 h, and this tendency is the same as that of the crushing performance. The spacing of grain boundary precipitates (GBPs) from TEM results are found to be 94.9, 193.6 and 408.2 nm after being aged at 210 °C for 1, 3 and 6 h, respectively, and this tendency is same to that of ΔAabs. A mechanism about the relation between the spacing of GBPs and the ductility index ΔAabs has been proposed based on localized deformation around GBPs. With the increase of GBPs spacing, the ΔAabs increases, and the crushing performance is improved.

Preclinical Safety

Microscopy plays a vital role in assessing the safety of New Chemical Entities (NCE) in the pre-clinical phase of drug development. Light microscopy (LM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) are used at the Schering-Plough Research Institute (SPRI) for evaluation of NCE. To support regulatory submissions, NCE are routinely tested in rodents in short-term studies such as one-month toxicity studies, and in longterm studies such as oncogenicity studies that may last 24 months. At the completion of a study, the animals are necropsied and the required tissues collected and stored in fixative. The tissues for LM are processed to slides and stained with Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E). The information derived from the examination of these tissues by LM becomes an essential part of the pathology report. The LM examination of these tissues usually yields the information needed to either progress a NCE or otherwise deter or halt development.
