SEM Imaging of Printed Objects

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Measurements of printed objects were made using SEM micrographs. To enhance sample conductivity, the samples were sputter-coated with gold (Sputter Coater 108) prior to imaging. The samples were placed 3 cm under the gold target and were coated for 1 min at 0.05 mbar and 20 mA. SEM imaging was performed with a Zeiss Supra 55VP Field Emission SEM. The samples were imaged at 6-mm working distance with the secondary electron sensor, 3-kV accelerating voltage and 30-μm aperture size.

Morphological Analysis of Plasma-Treated PLGA Fibers

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The surfaces of the untreated (PLGA) and plasma treated PLGA microfibers have been examined and imaged using a Supra 55VP field-emission SEM at 5 kV accelerating voltage (Carl Zeiss AG, Jena, Germany) after being gold coated using a sputter coater. Using the imageJ software (NIH, Wisconsin, WI, USA), the average fiber diameter size was determined from around 100 fibers from each fleece type randomly chosen (n = 3 for each fleece type) while the changes in fiber orientation before and after CAP treatment were assessed using the directionality Plugin (n = 3 for each fleece type). This plugin chops the image into square pieces and computes their Fourier power spectra allowing the generation of statistics data on the basis of the highest peak found represented by direction (the center of the Gaussian), dispersion (the standard deviation of the Gaussian), and goodness (the goodness of the fit, 1 is good and 0 is bad).

Field Emission SEM Analysis of Samples

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
We used a Zeiss Supra 55 VP Field Emission® SEM coupled to energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDS) at the Université Pierre et Marie Curie (Paris, France). Images were collected with a beam acceleration voltage of 15 kV using a backscattered electron (BSE) detector (AsB). EDS analyses and chemical mapping were carried out with a Bruker Xflash Quad® spectrometer using the microanalysis system Quantax. All the samples analyzed by SEM were prepared free of epoxy resin to avoid organic contamination (see “Sample preparation” section) and Au-coated. The samples were treated in an ultrasonic bath to remove particulates from all surfaces.

SEM Imaging of Alginate Cryogels

For scanning electron microscopy (SEM), click alginate cryogels were transitioned through a series of ethanol solutions in dH20 (0%, 30%, 50%, 70%, 90%, 95%, 100% ethanol) for 20 minutes each. Samples were then placed in a 1:1 solution of ethanol and hexamethyldisilazane (HMDS; Electron Microscopy Sciences) for 10 minutes, followed by a 5 minute incubation in 100% HMDS. Samples were desiccated overnight, mounted on SEM sample stubs using carbon tape, and sputter coated with a 5 nm layer of platinum-palladium. SEM imaging was performed using a Supra 55 VP field emission SEM (Carl Zeiss) using secondary electron detection.

Ultrastructural Analysis of Biological Specimens

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For transmission electron microscopy (TEM), specimens were fixed and decalcified following the same procedure as the tissues embedded in methacrylate. They were then rinsed in PBS and dH2O before postfixation in 1% OsO4; they were dehydrated in ethanol (70, 90 and 100%) and embedded in Epon 812 (Fluka Chemie AG, Switzerland). Ultrathin sections (50 nm) were placed on grids, contrasted with uranyl acetate and lead citrate, and viewed in a JEM‐1011 transmission electron microscope (JEOL, Tokyo, Japan).
For scanning electron microscopy (SEM), the specimens were fixed according to the same procedure as for light microscopy. Specimens were carefully sectioned with razor blades, rinsed in PBS, postfixed in 1% OsO4, and rinsed in dH2O. All specimens were then dehydrated in an acetone series (50, 70, 90, and 100%), dried to critical point, coated with gold‐palladium and studied in a Supra 55VP field emission SEM (Zeiss, Jena, Germany).

Imaging Organo-Mineral Aggregates via SEM

SEM was used to image the texture of organo-mineral aggregates. Solid phases were recovered from 1 mL of suspension by centrifugation in small centrifuge tubes (14,000 rpm, 15 min), rinsed, and resuspended in anoxic water. A drop of suspension was then deposited and dried on a small chip broken off an Si wafer in the anaerobic chamber. The Si chip was fixed onto an aluminum stub with double-sided carbon tape. Samples were imaged with a Supra 55VP field emission SEM (Zeiss) operating at the Harvard Center for Nanoscale Systems (CNS). Secondary electron images were obtained at a voltage of 10 kV and a working distance of 3-4 mm with an Everhart-Thornley secondary electron detector or an InLens detector.

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.
