Scanning electron microscope

There are many different ways medical technology has progressed over the last one hundred years in Canada. The discovery of insulin helped doctors save many lives. The invention of the electron microscope changed the way scientists were able to view many different things including very small organisms. The invention of the external pacemaker saved many lives back in 1950, one of the inventors needed his own invention to save his life for some time. The discovery of the Cystic Fibrosis also…

However, TiO2 is only sensitive to UV light region, because of its large band gap (~3.2 eV) [13], and fast recombination of electron/hole pair limits its photocatalytic reaction process [14]. Many attempts have been devoted to develop high-performance TiO2 photocatalysts for practical applications such as core–shell structure [15] nonmetal or metal doping [16–19], phase mixing…

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…

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…

produces a largely magnified image by using electrons instead of light to form an image. A beam of electrons is produced at the top of the microscope by an electron gun. It consists of an electron gun to produce high energy electron beam. A magnetic condensing lens is used to condense the electron beam and a scanning coil is arranged in-between magnetic condensing lens and the sample. The electron detector (Scintillator) is used to collect the secondary electrons and can be converted into…

SEM is a kind of microscope to observe the topography of materials. SEM has some advantages: it has a large depth of field and we can observe the 3D image of the sample and analyzing its topography, its magnification range is widely and we could make sample easily because of the X-ray spectrometry, which can determine the elements of sample. When electron beam attack the sample, incident electron will be diffracted and change the direction or even loose some energy. During this process,…

The problem with synthesizing this molecule is that it contains unpaired electrons in two of its outer carbons. These free electrons cause the molecule to oxidize almost instantly as these electrons react to try to find stability. The researcher team form IBM has found a way to overcome this obstacle. By starting with the molecule dihydrotriangulene, triangulene with a hydrogen attached to each of the unpaired electrons. The researchers were able…

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,…

1. How are the photographs taken with a 3D microscope different than those taken with a regular camera? How are they similar? The 3D microscope photographs are used to show detail that a regular photograph could not, for example at a crime scene. The similarity is the basic image, it is the same image but the only difference it has with a 3D microscope is the detail shown. 2. How can photography allow us to view the world around us in different ways? Photography captures not a second of the…
