Size and surface morphology of dry powder of 5-FU-PLGA NPs were examined under the scanning electron microscope SEM EVO LS10 (Carl-Zeiss, Cambridge, UK). Particles were mounted on double-sided adhesive carbon tape (SPI Supplies, West Chester, USA) and coated under high-vacuum evaporator with gold in a Q 150R sputter coater unit (Quorum Technologies Ltd., East Sussex, UK) in an argon atmosphere at 20 mA for 120 s. The coated samples were scanned, and photomicrographs were taken at an acceleration voltage of 1–10 kV.

Micrographs of the samples were taken using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) (Zeiss EVO LS10; Cambridge, United Kingdom). Samples were fixed on stubs using double sided adhesive carbon tape (SPI Supplies, West Chester, PA, USA) then coated with gold in a Q150R sputter coater unit under vacuum (Quorum Technologies Ltd, East Sussex, United Kingdom) in an argon atmosphere (20 mA) for 60 seconds [68 (link),69 (link)].

A scanning electron microscope (Zeiss EVO LS10, Carl Zeiss NTS, Oberkochen, Germany) was used for taking micrographs of the NANIMAs. Double-sided adhesive carbon tape (SPI Supplies, West Chester, PA, USA) was used for fixing the NANIMA samples. Moreover, the coating was carried out in an argon atmosphere at 20 mA for 60 s under a vacuum with gold in a Q150R sputter coater unit (Quorum Technologies Ltd., East Sussex, UK).

The surface morphology of the prepared SLNs and CIP powder was studied using the Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) (Zeiss EVO LS10; Cambridge, United Kingdom). Samples were fixed on stubs using double-sided adhesive carbon tape (SPI Supplies, West Chester, USA) and coated under vacuum with gold in a Q150R sputter coater unit from Quorum Technologies Ltd. (East Sussex, United Kingdom) in an argon atmosphere at 20 mA for 120 seconds.

Analyzing 3D Printed Scaffold Morphology

The surface morphology and porosity of all final 3D printed scaffolds were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) [37 (link)]. Before imaging, all freshly 3D printed scaffolds were frozen at −80 °C, lyophilized, and pressed on a double-sided adhesive carbon tape (SPI Supplies, West Chester, PA, USA). For obtaining cross-sectional images, lyophilized scaffolds were cut longitudinally using a scalpel. Thereby we were able to assess the inside porosity of each sample. Micrographs were taken using a field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM, Supra 35 VP, Carl Zeiss, Oberkochen, Germany) operated at a low accelerating voltage (1 keV) and room temperature. Images were acquired at a working distance of 4.5–5.5 mm at magnifications 2500 and 10,000, respectively.
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.
