Scanning Electron Microscopy Analysis of Membranes

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The surface and morphology of the CS-ArgD and CS-HA-ArgD membranes were analyzed using a Fei Quanta 200F (field emission gun) scanning electron microscope (SEM), Hillsboro, OR, USA. The dried samples were coated with gold in order to create a conductive layer of metal which inhibits charging, reduces thermal damage and improves the secondary electron signal required for the examination in the SEM.

After the irrigation protocols, the samples were immediately washed three times with 0.1 M Sorensen's phosphate-buffered solution (PBS) and immersed in 2.5% phosphate-buffered glutaraldehyde fixative for 24 h at 4°C. The fixation samples were washed three times with 0.1 M PBS. The samples were then immersed in ascending grades of ethanol for 15 min at successive concentrations of 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, and 90% and two cycles of 100%. The samples were dehydrated by a critical point dryer (model 815B; Tousimis, Rockville, MD, USA), coated with 80 μm of gold-palladium by a precision etching coating system (model 682; Gatan, Warrendale, PA, USA), and observed under SEM (Quanta 200 F; FEI Company, Eindhoven, Netherlands).

The scanning electron microscope (SEM) used in this work was an FEI Company (Hillsboro, OR) Quanta 200F environmental scanning electron microscope (SEM). 10 mm by 10 mm sections were cut from the reused wipes and mounted on imaging stubs with carbon tape. Samples were coated with 10 nm of gold to prevent sample charging and facilitate enhanced imaging of the wipe surface. All samples were analyzed in high vacuum mode with electron beam energies of 10 keV to 20 keV.

Spectroscopic Analysis of Wood Samples

A Lambda 650 UV/Vis-spectrophotometer of PerkinElmer was used for recording UV/Vis-absorption spectra. The spectra were recorded in a wavelength range of 416 nm to 404 nm in steps of 1 nm with a rate of 4.45 nm s−1. Scanning electron microscopy was carried out on thin-cuts of the wood samples that were sputter coated with platinum/palladium (60/40%) prior to the measurement. Images were acquired with a Quanta 200F from FEI Company at an acceleration voltage of 10 kV. Particle sizes were evaluated by line measurements with the software ImageJ (NIH, USA).

X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses were recorded on a Rigaku D/max 2500 diffractometer with Cu Kα radiation (λ = 0.15418 nm). Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) pattern was measured using a Nicolet 60-SXB FT-IR spectrometer. The morphologies and microstructures of samples were examined with a field-emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM, FEI Quanta 200 F), and a transmission electron microscope (TEM, JEOL JEM 2100). Thermogravimetry and differential thermal analysis (TG-DSC) was performed in a temperature ramping rate of 10 °C min−1 from 25 to 850 °C in N2 atmosphere (SDT Q600 V20.9 Build 20). X-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS) were performed using a K-Alpha spectrometer (Thermofisher Scienticfic Company). A drop of ethanol containing the magnetite nanorings was placed on a Si substrate, and then naturally dried in air prior to characterization by atomic force microscopy (AFM, Bruker Dimension ICON-PT).

Surface morphology images were taken on a high-resolution field emission scanning electron microscope (SEM, FEI Quanta 200F) with an accelerating voltage of 15 kV, also equipped with Energy Dispersive Spectrometer (EDS) and cathodoluminescence (CL). Optical absorption was measured on a UV-VIS-NIR spectrophotometer (Shimadzu UV3600 Plus). PL lifetime was measured on a lifetime and steady state spectrometer (FLS980, Edinburgh, UK). X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns were measured using X-ray diffraction platform (Model PANalytical X'Pert Pro) with a Cu-Kα radiation source (λ = 0.1541874 nm) at 40 kV and 40 mA. The angle accuracy was within ±0.0025°. PL was excited at 355 nm by a pulsed Nd:YAG laser (pulse width 8.0 ns, repetition rate 1.0 kHz).

Evaluating Nanoparticle Surface Morphology

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The surface morphology of the nanoparticles was evaluated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) (FEI Quanta 200F environmental scanning electron microscope). With this equipment, coating with a metal (e.g. gold) is not necessary and this confers the advantage of imaging accurate morphological features. To evaluate surface morphology, different dilutions of nanoparticle suspension in distilled water were placed on a carbon tape affixed to a specimen stub and dried in vacuo. The samples were then viewed using a scanning electron microscope under high vacuum at 10 KV and a working distance of 10 mm. Images were taken at different sample magnifications.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
