Scanningelectron microscopy (SEM) has been utilized  to examine  the morphology and topography alterations  in the surface of Poly(Lactic Acid)(PLA) fabrics due to UV/Ozoneirradiation. In the past decade, a growing attention in the usage of “Green Techniques” in industrial applications has been observed owing to many benefits such as low impurities and their relatively low cost to substitute th...

Scanning electron microscopy is a useful imaging approach for the visualization of bacterial biofilms in their natural environments including their medical and dental habitats, because it allows for the exploration of large surfaces with excellent resolution of topographic features. Most biofilms in nature, however, are embedded in a thick layer of extracellular matrix that prevents a clear ide...

Isolated epithelial cells and their subcellular organelles were examined both by transmission and by scanning electron microscopy. It was shown that scanning electron microscopy is particularly useful for displaying the three-dimensional structure of the brush border. Furthermore, it has been possible to observe the basal aspect of separated epithelium for the first time. Studies on the scannin...

a simple, inexpensive and one-step synthesis route of ag-tio2 nanoparticles by arc discharge method isreported. the resulting nanoparticles were characterized using x-ray diffraction and scanning electronmicroscopy. x-ray diffraction patterns demonstrate dominance of rutile to anatase phase in tio2 andformation of silver metal on tio2 after arc discharge process. scanning electron microscopy im...

PURPOSE To evaluate corneal endothelium alterations after applying mitomycin C to the sclera using transmission and scanning electron microscopy, correlating alterations with time, concentration, and evaluation methods. METHODS The corneal endothelium of both eyes of 32 albino rabbits was evaluated and distributed into four groups of 8. Mitomycin C was applied under a scleral flap in the righ...
