Characterizing Burrow Wall Mineralogy

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols

The mineral composition and clast arrangement of the burrow wall, fill, and host rock was assessed using petrographic thin sections studied with an optical microscope. However, the feather-like structures and wall-lining were difficult to identify under the microscope and were therefore analyzed in thin sections using a thermal field emission scanning electron microscope (JEOL FE-SEM: JSM-7100F) in the EPMA lab at Institute of Earth Sciences, Academia Sinica, Taipei, Taiwan. Chemical identification was carried out using an Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectrometer (EDS: Oxford Instruments X-max80 with INCA-350), equipped on the FE-SEM. Each sample was mounted, polished, and analyzed with FE-SEM and EDS under low vacuum conditions (50 Pa), using an acceleration voltage of 15 kV and beam current of 0.12 nA. The duration of EDS counting time was 15 s for each spot.

Brass Tile Microstructure and Composition Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols

A Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) Sirion 400NC (FEI, Hillsboro, OR, USA) with an Energy-Dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscope INCA 350 (Oxford Instruments, Abingdon, Oxfordshire, UK) was used for the microstructure observation and micro-chemical analyses of the brass tiles. Two methods of investigation were carried out: the first, direct SEM/EDX observation without surface preparation of the dark brass tile; and secondly on the polished surface, which was treated manually with diamond paste 1 µm and felt so that oxide products and other contamination were removed. The requirement was to estimate the chemical composition inside (by volume) the brass tile.

Characterization of Quantum Dots

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols

The hydrodynamic diameter, obtained by dynamic light scattering (DLS), and the zeta potential of the QDs were measured with a Malvern 4700 system (Malvern instruments Limited, UK) at 15 nM in water, RPMI-1640 medium with and without 1% or 10% horse serum, and DMEM with or without 2%, 10%, and 15% fetal bovine serum at 37°C. Data are presented as the average of 30 readings (10 readings per replicate).
The QDs were prepared for transmission electron microscopy (TEM) by placing a drop of suspended QDs onto a copper grid coated with a holey carbon support film (Agar Scientific Ltd) and plunge frozen in liquid ethane followed by freeze drying preserving the original features of the QDs (Hondow et al., 2012 ). Images were subsequently captured. Images were collected by an FEI Tecnai TF20 FEG-TEM operating at 200 kV fitted with a Gatan Orius SC600A camera and an Oxford Instruments INCA 350 energy dispersive x-ray (EDX) system with an 80 mm² X-Max SDD detector.

SEM/EDS Analysis of AuNPs Suspensions

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols

A scanning electron microscope, Sirion 400NC (FEI, FEI, Hillsboro, OR, USA), with an energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscope, INCA 350 (Oxford Instruments, Oxford, UK), was used for the SEM/EDS analysis. It had a Schottky electron source, where the field emission produces a jet of electrons with a small diameter and a high density. The result is high resolution, even at low voltages: 1.0 nm at 15 kV and 2.0 nm at 1 kV. The AuNPs’ suspensions were put dropwise onto the SEM holders (mesh) with conductive carbon adhesive tape, which allowed better SEM observation. The SEM holders were left to dry in a desiccator for 1 day before the SEM investigations were carried out.

Characterization and Motion of Microtubes

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols

The morphology of the synthesized
microtubes was defined using Zeiss EVO-40EP or Zeiss Auriga scanning
electron microscope (SEM) and Zeiss Libra 200FE transmission electron
microscope (TEM). The chemical composition of the samples was determined
by electron probe microanalysis (EPMA) using a SEM equipped with an
INCA 350 energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDX) analyzer (Oxford
Instruments). X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis was performed with
a Rigaku Miniflex II diffractometer. Before X-ray measurement, the
samples of the microtubes were dispersed and placed on a SiO₂ amorphous glass support. The operation conditions were Cu Kα
radiation, 30 kV voltage, and 10 mA current.
To analyze the
capability of microtubes to move in water, a number of microtubes
with a diameter of about 10 μm and a length of 100 μm
were immersed in a 10% H₂O₂ aqueous solution.
The motions of the microtubes were captured by an optical microscope
Biolam (manufactured by LOMO) equipped with an Almeria digital camera.

Evaluation of Hemostatic Clip Biocompatibility

After implantation for 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2 and 3 months, the SD rats were sacrificed by a painless procedure and immediately autopsied to determine the healing effect of the severed blood vessel and adhesion condition around the clips. The clips and surrounding tissues were explanted. After various implantation periods, the surface morphology and chemical composition of explanted clips were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM, Tescan Vega 3) with an energy dispersion spectrometer (EDS, Oxford Instruments Inca 350). Degradation products were washed off by CrO3 solution (200 g/L) and the weight loss (mg) of the clips were measured and recorded. The tissue around the hemostatic clip was separated and fixed in a 10% formalin solution, embedded in solid paraffin, and then cut into 3 μm thick slices. After Hematoxylin–Eosin (HE) and Sirius Red (SR) staining, routine pathological examinations were performed to assess the degree of inflammation.

Nanostructured
surfaces were characterized by electron microscopic methods (Scanning
Electron Microscopy − SEM and Transmission Electron Microscopy
– TEM). A VEGA 3 LMU scanning microscope (TESCAN, Czechia)
was used for initial information about the surface. The integrated
energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) analyzer INCA 350 (OXFORD
Instruments, Great Britain) enables the simultaneous study of morphology
and the chemical composition of the prepared substrate. The transmission
microscope – EFTEM 2200 FS (Jeol, Japan) – was employed
for a more detailed examination of the structures. The surface layer
was wiped with a cotton swab, and then the adhered nanostructures
were transferred to isopropanol. The sample thus prepared was then
stretched on a 300-mesh lacey carbon TEM grid, which was subsequently
introduced into the microscope. This microscope is equipped with an
EDS analyzer that works with a spectral resolution of 1–2.4
nm.

The nanoparticles were deposited on Cu grids with carbon film on one side and examined using an FEI Tecnai TF20 coupled with Oxford Instruments INCA 350 energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) system operated at an accelerating voltage of 200 kV. Bright field images were taken at low and high resolution to analyse the size, size distribution and the structure of the nanoparticles. EDX was performed on the individual nanoparticles as well as over different areas to study the composition of the particles. The particle size was determined by analysing the high resolution images using ImageJ.

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.
