Polyanisidine (POA) and polyanisidine-molybdate (POA−MoO42-) coatings have been successfully synthesized on steel grade СТ3 from aqueous solutions of oxalic acid by electrochemical method using cyclic voltammetry. The morphology and composition of these films were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energydispersive X-ray (EDAX) methods. It was proven that the introduction of MoO42- into the polyanisidine matrix raised the corrosion resistance of the POA coating and also improved its adhesion properties. The protective properties of steel grade CT3 with POA and POA-MoO42- films were studied using potentiodynamic polarization in 3.5% NaCl solution. The results showed that ions improve anti-corrosion properties of POA films.

The corrosion behavior of Al-5Zn-0.03In and Al-5Zn-0.03Ga alloys in 3.5 % NaCl solution has been examined by electrochemical methods, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray microanalysis, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The results demonstrate that the alloys differ in the microstructure, corroded morphology and electrochemical properties. For Al-5Zn-0.03In alloy, the precipitates enriched in Al and Zn initiates pitting. For Al-5Zn-0.03Ga alloy, corrosion occurs more uniformly, the corrosion of the alloy occurred via the formation of a surface Ga-Al amalgam alloy. The EIS of Al-5Zn-0.03In alloy contains a capacitive loop and an inductive loop; the inductive loop can be attributed to the presence of the pitting. The EIS of Al-5Zn-0.03Ga alloy contains only a capacitive loop.

Gd substrates were differently coated with Ti and 1Cr18Ni9Ti by means of DC magnetron sputtering technology. The characteristics of the films have been investigated by scanning electron microscopy(SEM), EDS,X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS),and the adhesion of films were tested by tension test. The results show that the surfaces of films are smooth and perfect, the interferences between Gd and films join together strongly, and the adhesion strengths are larger than 15MPa in these tests.

Polymerization of pyrrole using various methods like pyrrole using electrochemical method and UV Photo irradiation has been investigated. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques were used to study the internal structure, material morphology, chemical nature of conducting polymers. The temperature dependence of the electrical conductivity of the Polypyrrole, Their behavior resemble the metallic conductors.

Flower-like, sphere and lamellar structures of copper sulfide have been prepared by an electrochemical method with PAM hydrogel as template. The unique synthetic method required no multiple growth steps typical of other methods, and just utilized the electric currents to drive the ions to realize the controlling the resultant morphology in the PAM hydrogel system. The structure of product was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The morphology of these structures could be controlled by adjusting the content of PAM in hydrogel, and the intension of electric current.

The polished 6061-T651 aluminium alloy was immersed in 3.5% NaCl solution with about 7 ppm dissolved oxygen. Scanning Electron Microscopy equipped with Energy dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy revealed the presence of Al-Si-Fe-containing particles that acted as cathodic sites and promoted the matrix dissolution. The effect of pH and chloride solution is assessed.

Calcium is an important element in the growth and development of plants and one form of calcium is calcium oxalate. Calcium oxalate has been found in leaf seed, stem material plant tissue culture, fungi and lichen using one or more of the following methods—polarized light microscopy (PLM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and x-ray diffraction.Two methods are presented here for qualitatively estimating calcium oxalate in dried or fixed tobacco (Nicotiana) leaf from different stalk positions using PLM. SEM, coupled with energy dispersive x-ray spectrometry (EDS), and powder x-ray diffraction were used to verify that the crystals observed in the dried leaf with PLM were calcium oxalate.

During hibernation the ground squirrel is immobile, body temperature reduced and metabolism depressed. Hibernation has been shown to affect dental tissues varying degrees, although not much work has been done in this area. In limited studies, it has been shown that hibernation results in (1) mobilization of bone minerals; (2) deficient dentinogenesis and degeneration of alveolar bone; (3) presence of calculus and tears in the cementum; and (4) aggrevation of caries and pulpal and apical tooth abscesses. The purpose of this investigation was to study the effects of hibernation on dental tissues employing scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and related x-ray analyses.

High resolution scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive x-ray analysis (EDXA) were performed to investigate microparticles in blended cements and their hydration products containing sodium-rich chemical wastes. The physical appearance of powder particles and the morphological development at different hydration stages were characterized by using high resolution SEM Hitachi S-900 and by SEM S-800 with a EDX spectrometer. Microparticles were dispersed on the sample holder and glued by 1% palomino solution. Hydrated bulk samples were dehydrated by acetone and mounted on the holder by silver paste. Both fracture surfaces and flat cutting sections of hydrating samples were prepared and examined. Some specimens were coated with an 3 nm thick Au-Pd or Cr layer to provide good conducting surfaces. For high resolution SEM S-900 observations the accelerating voltage of electrons was 1-2 KeV to protect the electron charging. Microchemical analyses were carried out by S800/EDS equipped with a LINK detector of take-off angle =40°.

Contact X-ray imaging is presently developing as an important imaging technique in cell biology. Our recent studies on human platelets have demonstrated that the cytoskeleton of these cells contains photondense structures which can preferentially be imaged by soft X-ray imaging. Our present research has dealt with platelet activation, i.e., the complex phenomena which precede platelet appregation and are associated with profound changes in platelet cytoskeleton. Human platelets suspended in plasma were used. Whole cell mounts were fixed and dehydrated, then exposed to a stationary source of soft X-rays as previously described. Developed replicas and respective grids were studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM).

Gallstones contain precipitated cholesterol, calcium salts, and proteins. Calcium (Ca) bilirubinate, palmitate, phosphate, and carbonate occurring in gallstones have variable morphologies but characteristic windowless energy dispersive x-ray (EDX) spectra. Previous studies of gallstone microstructure and composition using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with EDX have been limited to dehydrated samples. In this state, Ca bilirubinates appear as either glassy masses, which predominate in black pigment stones, or as clusters, which are found mostly in cholesterol gallstones. The three polymorphs of Ca carbonate, calcite, vaterite, and aragonite, have been identified in gallstones by x-ray diffraction, however; the morphologies of these crystals vary in the literature. The purpose of this experiment was to study fresh gallstones by environmental SEM (ESEM) to determine if dehydration affects gallstone Ca salt morphology.Gallstones and bile were obtained fresh at cholecystectomy from 6 patients. To prevent dehydration, stones were stored in bile at 37°C. All samples were studied within 4 days of procurement.
