Hydrogel Microstructure Analysis via SEM

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
In order to observe the internal microstructure via a scanning electron microscope (SEM) (Model Evo18 Carl Zeiss, Oberkochen, Germany) and an environmental scanning electron microscope (ESEM-FEG) (Model XL-30, FEI Company, Oregon, OR, USA), the corresponding samples were placed in liquid nitrogen. After freeze-drying in a freeze drying oven (LGJ-10C, Beijing Four Ring Scientific Instrument Factory Co., Ltd., Beijing, China) to remove water thoroughly, the hydrogels were sputtered with gold and observed.

Microscopic Analysis of Beetle Hind Wings

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A super depth-of-field microscope (VHX-6000, Keyence, Japan) was used to obtain images of the fully unfolded and folded hind wings of the three beetles. To obtain the macroscopic structures of the hind wings of the three beetles, the hind wings were first removed with a scalpel and rinsed with distilled water and then dried and pasted flat on a slide for observation.
Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) (Model EVO-18, Carl Zeiss Microimaging Inc., Germany) was used to obtain morphological images of cross sections of the hind wings of three beetles at the same locations of different wing veins.

Sorghum and Reed Tissue Analysis via SEM-EDS

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Microscopic research was carried out using a Zeiss scanning electron microscope (SEM, ModelEVO-18, Jena, Germany). The main parameters of SEM were an experimental magnification range of 13–50,000 times magnification, and a minimum resolution of 3.0 nm. Additionally, an energy-dispersive spectrometer (EDS) with a resolution ratio of 6 nm provided the chemical composition of fur samples inside SEM. The elemental composition and contents of the fiber bundles of sorghum, basic tissues of sorghum, mechanical tissues of reed and thin-walled tissues of reed were measured using an energy-dispersive spectrometer (EDS, JSM-5301, Munich, Germany) equipped with SEM.

Nano-silver Effects on Bacterial Ultrastructure

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Samples from bacterial cultures (Bacillus megaterium MTCC 7192 and Pseudomonas aeruginosa MTCC 741), mixed with 100 μg/ml of nano-silver, were collected at 3 h and pre-fixed with 2.5% glutaraldehyde for 30 min; these were then washed two times in the same buffer and post-fixed for 2 h in 1% osmium tetroxide. After washing with buffer, dehydration process was conducted with 30, 50, 70, 80, 90 and 100% of ethanol. Prior to analysis by SEM (Zeiss, Model EVO-18), the samples were dried at 40 °C and subjected to analysis with 15 kV accelerating voltage. Control experiment was conducted in absence of nano-silver [16 (link)].

Comprehensive Characterization of Nanodiamond

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The Structural morphology of the samples was determined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM, EVO 18 model from Carl Zeiss, Germany, Filament: Tungsten) and High-Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy (HRTEM, 80 kV) from JEOL (JEM 2100, Japan). Selected area diffraction pattern (SAED) of ND was recorded using HRTEM. Other characterization techniques used in this study were XRD (Empyrean Malvern Panalytical diffractometer with MultiCore Optics, Cu Kα, λ = 1.54 Å), Fourier Transform Infra-Red Spectroscopy (FTIR 400–4000 cm−1 range, IR affinity series, Shimadzu, Japan), Particle Size Analyzer with zeta potential (Malvern Panalytical, Zetasizer Ver. 7.13), Rheometer (Anton Paar/Modular Compact Rheometer MCR 102, 37 ºC, Gap-1.025 mm, Measuring System- pp25) and Universal testing machine for compression test (INSTRON 3366, Speed-1 mm/min; dimensions of the cylindrical samples: 16 ± 0.1 mm diameter, 13 ± 0.2 mm height). ND (0.04 g) was dispersed in water with vortex shaking for 1 h and ultrasonic treatment of 15 min for particle size and zeta potential analysis. Dynamic Mechanical analysis (DMA) was carried out in the rheometer instrument in Torsional Mode (1% shear strain at 37 °C, frequency 1 – 10 Hz, cuboid samples: 10 mm × 5 mm × 3 mm).

Characterization of Optimized TAC-THQ-NLCs

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The shape and surface morphology of the optimized TAC-THQ-NLCs were characterized with the help of an electron microscope utilizing an instrument, transmission electron microscope (TEM), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). For TEM analysis, one drop of 20 times diluted optimized formulation was mounted on a copper grid coated with copper. Thereafter, the formulation-bearing grid was stained negatively with phosphotungstic acid (2% w/v) to enhance the contrast. Finally, the sample was air-dried at room temperature before being examined under TEM (HR-TEM, Fei, Electron Optics, Netherlands) operated at 200 kV with point-to-point resolution. For SEM analysis, 20 µL of the formulation was placed on the aluminum stub-bearing double-sided tape. Thereafter, the formulation-bearing stub was subjected to sputter coating with a mixture of platinum and palladium until a thickness of 5 nm was achieved to improve overall conductivity. Finally, the sample was visualized under SEM (SEM, EVO 18 model, Zeiss, Germany) operated at 20 kV voltage.

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.
