Electron microscope

Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) are two very widespread techniques for examining various properties of substances in many fields of study. These fields can range from biology to chemistry to geology and several others (5). Both work by using the electromagnetic properties of the ways that electrons travel and interact with other atoms. Because electrons have a shorter wavelength of motion and a much higher energy than light, electron microscopy has a…

Cellular Theory & Microscopes Robert Hooke Robert Hooke was an English scientist credited most famously for the creation of Hooke’s Law (a principle of physics that states that the force needed to extend or compress a spring by some distance is proportional to that distance) in 1660 and the discovery of plant cells using a compound microscope in 1663. The compound microscope uses two or more lenses, which are connected by a hollow tube. The top lens (called the eyepiece) is the one that people…

3.2 Analysis of chip formation Fig. 7 shows the chip forms obtained during milling of the Al7075 (a) and MMCs (b) using the uncoated carbide inserts at a feed rate of 0.1 mm/tooth, machining speed of 290 m/min and axial depth of cut of 1.3 mm. The Al7075 chips formed during milling exhibited a smooth and shiny surface, and were in a semicircular and parabolic trapezoidal wave with a small radius and a saw-tooth-form, as shown in Fig. 7 (a). Fig. 7 (b) shows the chip shapes formed during the…

Observation of plant and animal cells through a light microscope. A cell is the most basic structure of any living organism and is capable of independently reproducing. Cells can be grouped into two categories, prokaryotic and eukaryotic. In a eukaryotic cell there are small organelles that carry out specific functions which can be compared to the organs in the human body. Some of these organelles include the nucleus, which holds the cells DNA, mitochondria, which produce ATP from glucose and…

3.1.3 FESEM and EDS analysis The structural morphology of the Pure HA, Sr-doped HA, La-doped HA and La/Sr co-doped HA (different La concentrations of 0.03, 0.06 and 0.1M) nanoparticles are analyzed by FESEM images are shown in Fig. 3 (a)-(f). The morphology of pure HA shown in Fig 3 (a) indicates that formation of spherical (or) chain pearl shape of nanoparticles, ranging from 70 to 84nm. Further, Sr (0.1M) doped HA and La (0.1M) doped HA belongs to Fig.3 (b)-(c), appears the formations of few…

Transmission electron microscopy, or TEM, is a variation of low field, high-powered electron microscopy. Created by Ernest Ruska and Max Knoll of the Berlin Technische Hochschule in 1931, the invention of this novel microscope allowed for the surpassing of the visible light resolution barrier. Since its inception, the TEM has become a resolution standard in the field of imagery, and further advances have led to the progression of high quality atomic viewing. The development of the electron…

Ultrafast Electron Microscopy has been demonstrated to be an effective table-top technique for imaging the temporally-evolving dynamics of matter with subparticle spatial resolution on the time scale of atomic motion. A stringent enhancement of the UEM temporal resolution is demanded for recording snapshots of the electron motion which will provide a real-time access to all microscopic motions outside the atomic core and radically change our insight into the workings of the microcosm. Here, we…

Introduction The microscope is an optical instrument that produces large images of small objects that cannot be observed by the human naked eye. There are two types of light microscopes: compound microscope and Electron microscope. Light microscopes are divided into two categories: Compound microscopes and Stereoscope microscopes. Electron microscope functions in the following way; a stream of electrons emitted from an electron source built in the microscope, the obtained image is in black and…

observed for bacteria under the microscope with the resolutions 10x, 40x, and 100x with the use of immersion oil. Observations were noted and we replaced that yogurt slide with the prepared, stained yogurt slide. We compared and noted the observations between the two yogurt samples. Exercise 3: Preparing and Observing a Blood…

During the microscope lab, my partner and I learned how to properly use a microscope, calculate the field of view, and view and prepare slides. Microscopes are instruments used to view very small objects that cannot be seen with the naked eye. We found that microscopes have many different parts to them, including the diaphragm, ocular lens, and objective lenses. There are three powers of magnification, scanning power (4x), low power (10x), and high power (40x). To find the total magnification,…
