Shadow FIBing- Using Geometry to Prepare TEM Samples

Single-Shot, Geometry-Invariant Shadow Demultiplexing

Dynamics as Shadow of Phase Space Geometry

Starting with the generally well accepted opinion that quantizing an arbitrary Hamiltonian system involves picking out some additional structure on the classical phase space (the shadow of quantummechanics in the classical theory), we describe classical as well as quantum dynamics as a purely geometrical effect by introducing a phase space metric structure. This produces an O(h̄) modification of...

ARGON ION SLICING (ArIS) OF MINERAL AND ROCK SAMPLES: A NOVEL TOOL TO PREPARE LARGE ELECTRON TRANSPARENT THIN FILMS FOR TEM USE

Introduction: Argon Ion milling is the basic conventional means used since decades when speaking of sample preparation for TEM analysis. Applied to earth and planetary samples (usually on hand as thin sections) the shortcomings are (a) nearly impossible site specific thinning and (b) only small electron transparent areas obtained. A new technique named FIB (Focused Ion Beam) developed over the ...

how to prepare biological samples and live tissues for scanning electron microscopy (sem)

in this article we review the application and procedures involved in scanning electron microscope (sem) to observe biological and live tissues through using sem at high resolution. we discuss practical methods for optimizing tissue preservation to achieve the two principal goals of biological specimen preparation: (a) preserving biological structures as close to their living configuration as po...
