The precipitates in 850°C aging 2205 Duplex stainless steel were extracted by the method of carbon extraction replicas. The method makes precipitates disperse uniformly and the contrast between precipitates and matrix distinct. TEM(Transmission Electron Microscope), EDS(Energy Dispersive Spectrometer) and SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope) were applied for the observation of microstructure. The SEM micrographs were used for intermetallic size statistic, which revealed that the sizes of intermetallic increased with aging time.

In the observation of a thick specimen by means of a transmission electron microscope, the intensity of electrons passing through the objective lens aperture is greatly reduced. So that the image is almost invisible. In addition to this fact, it have been reported that a chromatic aberration causes the deterioration of the image contrast rather than that of the resolution. The scanning electron microscope is, however, capable of electrically amplifying the signal of the decreasing intensity, and also free from a chromatic aberration so that the deterioration of the image contrast due to the aberration can be prevented. The electrical improvement of the image quality can be carried out by using the fascionating features of the SEM, that is, the amplification of a weak in-put signal forming the image and the descriminating action of the heigh level signal of the background. This paper reports some of the experimental results about the thickness dependence of the observability and quality of the image in the case of the transmission SEM.

The resolution of a conventional transmission electron microscope (TEM) deteriorates as the specimen thickness increases, because chromatic aberration of the objective lens is caused by the energy loss of electrons). In the case of a scanning electron microscope (SEM), chromatic aberration does not exist as the restrictive factor for the resolution of the transmitted electron image, for the SEM has no imageforming lens. It is not sure, however, that the equal resolution to the probe diameter can be obtained in the case of a thick specimen. To study the relation between the specimen thickness and the resolution of the trans-mitted electron image obtained by the SEM, the following experiment was carried out.

Gastritis from returning bile is a common disease, but the reason for the disease is not clear. As the pathologic ultrastructure research progresses, it has drawn attention to the ultrastructural change of cells in gastric mucosa by clinical workers. We observed gastric mucosa tissues of 15 patients suffering from gastritis with a transmission electron microscope (TEM) and a scanning electron microscope (SEM). It is the first report in China that fungus exists in the lamina propria of gastric mucosa tissue. The result is as follows.The gastric mucosa tissues of 15 patients suffering from gastritis were acquired by stomachoscopy. Both TEM and SEM specimens were prepared by the usual methods. Under the TEM, the epithelial surface became higher and larger. Mitochondria of the cells were swollen and cristae were disrupted. There were vacuoles in the cells. The nucleus showed disorder, heterochromatin became darker, and nucleolae could be observed.

Transmission electron microscope(TEM) and scanning electron microscope(SEM) were widely used in experimental tumor studies. They are useful for evaluation of cellular transformation in vitro, classification of histological types of tumors and treating effect of tumors. We have obtained some results as follows:1. Studies on the malignant transformation of mammalian cells in vitro. Syrian golden hamster embryo cells(SGHEC) were transformed in vitro by ThO2 and/or ore dust. In a few days after dust added into medium, some dust crystals were phagocytized. Two weeks later, malignant transformation took place. These cells were of different size, nuclear pleomorphism, numerous ribosomes, increasing of microvilli on cell surface with various length and thickness, and blebs and ruffles(Figs. 1,2). Myelomonocytic leukemic transformation of mouse embryo cells(MEC) was induced in vitro by 3H-TdR. Transformed cells were become round from fusiform. The number of mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum was reduced, ribosomes and nucleoli increased, shape of nuclei irregular, microvilli increased, and blebs and ruffles appeared(Fig. 3).

Abstract This paper describes the problems encountered and solutions found to the practical objective of developing an imaging technique that would produce a more detailed analysis of IC material structures then a scanning electron microscope. To find a solution to this objective the theoretical idea of converting a standard SEM to produce a STEM image was developed. This solution would enable high magnification, material contrasting, detailed cross sectional analysis of integrated circuits with an ordinary SEM. This would provide a practical and cost effective alternative to Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), where the higher TEM accelerating voltages would ultimately yield a more detailed cross sectional image. An additional advantage, developed subsequent to STEM imaging was the use of EDX analysis to perform high-resolution element identification of IC cross sections. High-resolution element identification when used in conjunction with high-resolution STEM images provides an analysis technique that exceeds the capabilities of conventional SEM imaging.

A preparation of nanometer silver sol by micro arc discharge has been study here through the reduction of Ag3PO4. Sodium citrate and polyvinylpyrrolidone were added respectively into the electrolyte as stabilizer. The results show that, the Ag3PO4 concentration, stabilizer type and concentration have great impacts on the formation of the nanometer silver sol. By means of UV-VIS extinction spectrophotometer, scanning electron microscope and energy dispersive spectrometer, it is found that the solid powder extracted from the electrolyte solution after discharge is the aggregation of the silver formed in the solution and their original size maybe less than 20nm. Nanometer silver with smaller size and narrower size distribution can be obtained with sodium citrate as stabilizer than with polyvinylpyrrolidone. But the latter has higher conversion rate. From this experiment, we found that micro arc discharge can be a rapid, stable preparation method of nanometer silver sol.

A silver-plating technique was developed in an effort to produce good mechanical bonding characteristics between stainless steelpins and amalgam. Metallographic microscope and scanning electron microscope (SEM) studies were made to assess the presence, or otherwise, of such a bond between (a) the silver layer plating and the surface of the stainless steel pins, and (b) and silver plating and the amalgam. Unplated stainless steel and sterling silver pins were used as a control and as a comparison, respectively. A "rubbing" technique of condensation was devised to closely adapt amalgam to the pins. It is concluded that there is strong evidence for the existence of a good bond between the plated pins and amalgam. The mechanical performance of the bond is discussed elsewhere. 1.

Optimization of solvent debinding process parameters for powder injection molded 316L stainless steel (SS) has been reported in this research work. Powder gas atomized (PGA) 316L SS was blended with a multicomponent binder in Z-blade mixer at 170°C ± 5°C for 90 minutes. Feedstock was successfully injected at temperature 170 ± 5°C. Injection molded samples were immersed in n-heptane for 2h, 4h, 6h and 8h at temperatures 50°C ,55°C and 60°C to extract the soluble binder components. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) results attested that soluble binder components were completely extracted from injection molded samples at temperature 55°C after 6h.
