Spindle-like bis (8-hydroxyquinoline) iron (FeQ3) complex has been synthesized with a facile method in a mixed solvent system at room temperature for 12 h. The molecular formula of the products is speculated by the C, H and N element analysis and thermal gravimetric analysis, and Fourier-transformation infrared spectroscopy was also utilized to measure its structure, which further confirm the molecular formula of the products. The observation of field emission scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy shows that the morphology of tris (8-hydroxyquinoline) iron complex is spindle-like structure. The photoluminescence of the products were also investigated. The results indicate that the photoluminescence emission of FeQ3spindles shows obvious blue shift contrasted with that of 8-hydroxyquinoline.

Tris(8-hydroxyquinoline) bismuth complex has been synthesized with a facile method in a mixed solvent system containing bismuth nitrate and 8-hydroxyquinolineat at room temperature. The molecular formula of the products is speculated by the C, H and N element analysis and thermal gravimetric analysis, and FTIR was also utilized to measure the structure, which further confirms the molecular formula of the products. The observation of FESEM and TEM shows that the morphology of tris(8-hydroxyquinoline) bismuth complexes is rod-like structure. The results of photoluminescence emission indicate that inorganic element plays key roles in the luminescence property. According to the results, we found that the photoluminescence of tris-(8-hydroxyquinoline) bismuth is stronger than that of 8-hydroxyquinoline.

Hierarchical bis(8-hydroxyquinoline) nickel(NiQ2) complex has been synthesized with a facile method in a mixed solvent system at 120 °C for 12 h. The molecular formula of the products is speculated by the C, H and N element analysis and thermal gravimetric analysis, and Fourier-transformation infrared spectroscopy was also utilized to measure its structure, which further confirm the molecular formula of the products. The observation of field emission scanning electron microscopy shows that the morphology of bis(8-hydroxyquinoline) nickel complex is flower-like structure. According to the result, it is found that the photoluminescence of bis(8-hydroxyquinoline) nickel complex is stronger than that of 8-hydroxyquinoline, which indicate that inorganic elements played key roles in their luminescence properties.

The size, shape and surface morphology of human erythrocytes (RBC) were examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), of the fixed material directly and by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) of surface replicas to compare the relative merits of these two observational procedures for this type specimen.A sample of human blood was fixed in glutaraldehyde and washed in distilled water by centrifugation. The washed RBC's were spread on freshly cleaved mica and on aluminum coated microscope slides and then air dried at room temperature. The SEM specimens were rotary coated with 150Å of 60:40- gold:palladium alloy in a vacuum evaporator using a new combination spinning and tilting device. The TEM specimens were preshadowed with platinum and then rotary coated with carbon in the same device. After stripping the RBC-Pt-C composite film, the RBC's were dissolved in 2.5N HNO3 followed by 0.2N NaOH leaving the preshadowed surface replicas showing positive topography.

The evolution of dislocation channels in irradiated metals during deformation can be envisaged to occur in three stages: (i) formation of embryonic cluster free regions, (ii) growth of these regions into microscopically observable channels and (iii) termination of their growth due to the accumulation of dislocation damage. The first two stages are particularly intriguing, and we have attempted to follow the early stages of channel formation in polycrystalline molybdenum, irradiated to 5×1019 n. cm−2 (E > 1 Mev) at the reactor ambient temperature (∼ 60°C), using transmission electron microscopy. The irradiated samples were strained, at room temperature, up to the macroscopic yield point.Figure 1 illustrates the early stages of channel formation. The observations suggest that the cluster free regions, such as A, B and C, form in isolated packets, which could subsequently link-up to evolve a channel.

This transmission electron microscopy (TEM) procedure was designed to examine a gram positive spore-forming bacillus in colony on various solid agar media with minimal artifact. Cellular morphology and organization of colonies embedded in Poly/Bed 812 resin (P/B) were studied. It is a modification of procedures used for undecalcified rat bone and Stomatococcus mucilaginosus.Cultures were fixed and processed at room temperature (RT) under a fume hood. Solutions were added with a Pasteur pipet and removed by gentle vacuum aspiration. Other equipment used is shown in Figure 3. Cultures were fixed for 17-18 h in 10-20 ml of RT 2% phosphate buffered glutaraldehyde (422 mosm/KgH2O) within 5 m after removal from the incubator. After 3 (30 m) changes in 0.15 M phosphate buffer (PB = 209-213 mosm/KgH2O, pH 7.39-7.41), colony cut-outs (CCO) were made with a scalpel.

When CoSi2 is grown onto a Si(111) surface it can form in two distinct orientations. A-type CoSi2 has the same orientation as the Si substrate and B-type is rotated by 180° degrees about the [111] surface normal.One method of producing epitaxial CoSi2 is to deposit Co at room temperature and anneal to 650°C.If greater than 10Å of Co is deposited then both A and B-type CoSi2 form via a number of intermediate silicides .The literature suggests that the co-existence of A and B-type CoSi2 is in some way linked to these intermediate silicides analogous to the NiSi2/Si(111) system. The phase which forms prior to complete CoSi2 formation is CoSi. This paper is a crystallographic analysis of the CoSi2/Si(l11) bicrystal using a theoretical method developed by Pond. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) has been used to verify the theoretical predictions and to characterise the defect structure at the interface.

Pure-phase Cu2−xS (x = 1, 0.2) nanoparticles have been synthesized by the thermal decomposition of copper(II) dithiocarbamate as a single-source precursor in oleylamine as a capping agent. The compositions of the Cu2−xS nanocrystals varied from CuS (covellite) through the mixture of phases (CuS and Cu7.2S4) to Cu9S5 (digenite) by simply varying the temperature of synthesis. The crystallinity and morphology of the copper sulfides were studied using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), which showed pure phases at low (120 °C) and high (220 °C) temperatures and a mixture of phases at intermediate temperatures (150 and 180 °C). Covellite was of a spherical morphology, while digenite was rod shaped. The optical properties of these nanocrystals were characterized by UV−vis–NIR and photoluminescence spectroscopies. Both samples had very similar absorption spectra but distinguishable fluorescence properties and exhibited a blue shift in their band gap energies compared to bulk Cu2−xS. The pure phases were used as catalysts for the photocatalytic degradation of tetracycline (TC) under visible-light irradiation. The results demonstrated that the photocatalytic activity of the digenite phase exhibited higher catalytic degradation of 98.5% compared to the covellite phase, which showed 88% degradation within the 120 min reaction time using 80 mg of the catalysts. The higher degradation efficiency achieved with the digenite phase was attributed to its higher absorption of the visible light compared to covellite.

Platelet concentrates were stored for one, two or three days at 4°C (unagitated) or room temperature (unagitated and linearly agitated). The morphology of platelets in platelet concentrates, directly after twice washing at room temperature and after 60 min incubation of the washed platelets at 37°C was investigated by both scanning and transmission electron microscopy.Platelets in the freshly prepared concentrates are slightly activated, i.e. show some pseudopod formation. At 4°C platelets rapidly loose their discoid shape. After three days their surface membrane shows extensive folding, they are slightly vacuolated and have lost most of their granules. Incubation of these cold-stored platelets at 37°C does not induce reversal to the discoid shape.Room temperature storage results in reversal of the slight initial platelet activation. After three days unagitated platelets are slightly more vacuolated than platelets stored with agitation. Room temperature storage usually results in remarkably well preserved, discoid platelets. Occasionally however, agitated platelet concentrates contain a high proportion of odd shaped cells. As platelets stored at 4°C did not became discoid after incubation at 37°, the altered membrane structure could provide an explanation for their short survival upon transfusion. Our results also provide a morphological correlation with the slightly better recovery and survival of platelets stored agitated vs.- non-agitated platelets at room temperature.

Towards the utilization of Cu2O nanomaterial for the degradation of industrial dye pollutants such as methylene blue and methyl orange, the graphene-incorporated Cu2O nanocomposites (GCC) were developed via a precipitation method. Using Hummers method, the grapheme oxide (GO) was initially synthesized. The varying weight percentages (1–4 wt %) of GO was incorporated along with the precipitation of Cu2O catalyst. Various characterization techniques such as Fourier-transform infra-red (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV–visible diffused reflectance (UV-DRS), Raman spectroscopy, thermo gravimetric analysis (TGA), energy-dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX), and electro chemical impedance (EIS) were followed for characterization. The cabbage-like morphology of the developed Cu2O and its composites were ascertained from field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM). In addition, the growth mechanism was also proposed. The results infer that 2 wt % GO-incorporated Cu2O composites shows the highest value of degradation efficiency (97.9% and 96.1%) for MB and MO at 160 and 220 min, respectively. Further, its catalytic performance over visible region (red shift) was also enhanced to an appreciable extent, when compared with that of other samples.
