Scanning electron microscopy of the cervix uteri.
1974
Scanning electron microscopy has been used in the study of five cases of the cervix uteri: two normal cases; one case of indirect metaplasia; one case of carcinoma in situ whose colposcopic examination showed an erosio vera surrounded by leucoplasia, mosaic, base, and an area of atipic transformation zone and one case of invasive carcinoma.
Ultrastructural study of primary canine and human pigmentary retinopathy
1985
An electron microscopic study was performed on eyes of Labrador dogs afflicted with progressive retinal atrophy (PRA). There was complete loss of photoreceptors, atrophy of the remaining retina and gliosis in the peripheral part while the central retina showed incomplete loss of photoreceptors and an almost total disappearance of photoreceptor outer segments. Melanin-bearing cells, largely containing melanolysosomes, were found deep inside the retina. This electron microscopic study also incorporated the retina of a middle-aged woman affected by retinopathia pigmentosa (RP). The fine structure of the diseased retina showed a similar pattern of lesions, more pronounced in the periphery of th…
Granular nuclear inclusion body disease: Fine structure of tibial muscle and sural nerve
1985
Fine granular (hyaline) intranuclear inclusion bodies were found in perivascular cells of a muscle and a sural nerve biopsy from a 32-year-old woman with slowly progressive motor disturbances. The hyaline nuclear inclusion bodies could be distinguished from other intranuclear hyaline inclusions by their granularity, the size of the granules (approximately 5-15 nm), and the positive iron staining reaction. They were not seen in muscle fibers or Schwann cells. Because of these apparently pathognomonic structural features the patient appears to present a condition that has not been described before.
Effect of Morphology and Size of Halloysite Nanotubes on Functional Pectin Bionanocomposites for Food Packaging Applications
2017
Pectin bionanocomposite films filled with various concentrations of two different types of halloysite nanotubes were prepared and characterized in this study as potential films for food packaging applications. The two types of halloysite nanotubes were long and thin (patch) (200-30 000 nm length) and short and stubby (Matauri Bay) (50-3000 nm length) with different morphological, physical, and dispersibility properties. Both matrix (pectin) and reinforcer (halloysite nanotubes) used in this study are considered as biocompatible, natural, and low-cost materials. Various characterization tests including Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy, rele…
Peri-implantitis-like medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw: Clinical considerations and histological evaluation with confocal laser scanning m…
2021
Objective: In the recent years, an increasing number of peri-implant medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (PI-MRONJ) have been reported in literature, both in oncologic and osteoporotic patients. The aim of this study is to describe 19 cases of patients previously diagnosed as affected by peri-implantitis, who were treated for PI-MRONJ, with consideration on clinical and histopathological features. Materials and Methods: Patients included were affected by postmenopausal osteoporosis and were administered with different antiresorptive drugs. Due to the presence of clinical and radiological signs of peri-implantitis not healed after non-surgical periodontal treatment, they were referre…
Time-resolved X-ray photoemission electron microscopy: imaging magnetodynamics on the 100 ps scale and below
2005
Abstract We present recent results of time-resolved X-ray photoemission electron microscopy (TR-XPEEM) investigations on magnetic systems. Our studies of microstructured permalloy particles employ a magnetic pump XPEEM probe approach. The stroboscopic experiments feature a time resolution of Δ τ ≤ 130 ps and yield magnetic domain images with a surprising richness of details. We observe a strong influence of incoherent magnetization rotation processes, which lead to complicated transient domain structures with a blocked relaxation behavior.
The Structural and Dielectric Properties of the Li0.005Na0.995NbO3Ceramics
2009
The sodium niobate-lithium niobate (Li x Na1 − x NbO3) compounds were synthesized using conventional solid-state processing. Phase analysis was performed by X-Ray diffraction, and microstructural morphology was assessed by scanning electron microscopy. The dielectric measurements were performed in heating and cooling processes without and under axial pressure up to 120 MPa. It has been stated, that the maximum of electric permittivity ϵ (T) becomes more diffused with the increase of axial pressure and the temperature of phase transition T0 decreases. The value of tanδ increases with the increase of axial pressure and its local maximum shifts towards lower temperatures.
The weight function for charges - A rigorous theoretical concept for Kelvin probe force microscopy
2016
A comprehensive discussion of the physical origins of Kelvin probe force microscopy (KPFM) signals for charged systems is given. We extend the existing descriptions by including the openloop operation mode, which is relevant when performing KPFM in electrolyte solutions. We define the contribution of charges to the KPFM signal by a weight function, which depends on the electric potential and on the capacitance of the tip-sample system. We analyze the sign as well as the lateral decay of this weight function for different sample types, namely, conductive samples as well as dielectric samples with permittivities both larger and smaller than the permittivity of the surrounding medium. Dependin…
Germanium modified BaTiO3as a promising electroceramics
2016
ABSTRACTThe polycrystalline sample of BaTi0.95Ge0.05O3 was prepared by solid-phase reaction using a conventional method. The morphology of investigated sample was characterised by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results allowed to determining the stoichiometry of the material and evaluate their microstructure. High quality samples were investigated, the grains are well shaped without of a glassy phase. The dielectric properties of the BaTi0.95Ge0.05O3 ceramics were determined. The results were compared with these ones obtained for pure BaTiO3. The obtained data indicated that the substitution of Ge+4 ions had an influence on the values of the real (ϵ′) and imaginary (ϵ″) parts of el…
Fine Structure of the Tunic ofCiona intestinalisL. II. Tunic morphology, cell distribution and their functional importance
1981
Ciona intestinalis L. tunic architecture and cell distribution were investigated with the electron microscope. The observations showed that the ascidian covering is formed by a thin outer cuticle, a subcuticle of variable width and a large single layer of ground substance. “Large granule”, morula, phagocyte and granulocyte are the cellular types encountered; they appear mainly in highly vacuolated states and are distributed throughout the whole tunic. The “large granule” cells, however, are mainly seen in the cuticle layer and the morula cells appear mostly in the outer zone of the ground substance. The role of these cells in tunic construction, repair and regeneration as well as their scav…
