The pore structure and microstructure of the foam concrete was analyzed by scanning electron microscopy and light microscopy combined with digital image analysis. The results show that: (1) even-distributed fine and close pores resulting in high strength and low permeability; (2) uneven-distributed large size pores and open pores lead to low strength and high permeability; (3) light microscopy combined with digital image analysis is a cheap and convenient tool fitting for the pore structure analysis of the foam concrete; (4) scanning electron microscopy is very appropriate for the pore structure and microstructure analysis of the foam concrete.

The dentin structure of non-erupted human deciduous mandibular and maxillary central and lateral incisor teeth was studied employing light and scanning electron microscopy. For light microscopy, nitric-acid-demineralized and ground sections were used. The sections were stained by hematoxylin-eosin, picrosirius and azo-carmim methods, and ground specimens were prepared using a carborundum disk mounted in a handpiece. For SEM study, teeth were frozen in liquid nitrogen and fractured at longitudinal and transversal directions. Structurally, demineralization and ground methods revealed tubules with primary and secondary curvatures, canaliculi, giant tubules, interglobular dentin, predentin, and intertubular dentin. Scanning electron microscopy showed three-dimensional aspects of dentinal tubules, canaliculi, peritubular dentin, intertubular dentin, and predentin. This study contributes to knowledge about dentin morphology showing characteristics of teeth not yet submitted to mastication stress.

AbstractImage analysis is rapidly becoming an integral part of scanning electron microscopy. A number of analogue and digital image analysis systems of varying sophistication are now commercially available for the SEM. This paper illustrates how one such relatively simple system, the IMAS image analyser manufactured by Cambridge Technology, can be used to obtain rapid quantitative estimates of porosity and mineral abundance in backscattered electron images of polished rock sections.

The effect of the fly ash content on the properties of the fly ash-coal gangue foam concrete was studied in this paper. Results revealed that: With the increase of the fly ash content, the dry density, the compressive strength and the shrinkage of the fly ash-coal gangue foam concrete decrease; the density of the fly ash - coal gangue foam concrete was influenced greatly by the ratio of water to total dry material. The pore structure and microstructure of the foam concrete was analyzed by scanning electron microscopy, and the results show that most of the pores are fine, closed, and even distributed.

In the work phase investigations of special brass CuZn38Al2MnFe alloy are presented. The microstructure, chemical composition and phase identification of the investigated alloy were examined using scanning electron microscopy (Philips 30/ESEM), light microscopy Leica coupled with PC computer with installed MultiScan program, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) and X-ray diffractometry (XRD), respectively. The investigation of volume fraction existing phases was carried out using image analysis. It was found in the test bend that presence of Fe4Mn77Si19 phase in microstructure caused an increase of brittleness of the tested alloy.
