Another physical limitation is imposed on tomography by the current design of specimen holders, which only allow the specimen to be imaged to a tilt angle of ∼70°.
Turn off the oven and allow the specimen to cool to room temperature, then remove the mold from the cast and label it on the opposite side of where cuts will be made for the thin sections (if a label was not added with the specimen).
The preservative allowed the specimens to be kept for weeks, until they ended up in Dr. Hahn's laboratory.
The experimental arrangement allowed the specimens to be tested under different input signals and loading conditions, inducing an out-of-plane one-way bending action in the walls.
The use of antibiotic-enriched culture media selective for M. tuberculosis may overcome this problem by allowing the specimens to be cultured without decontamination [ 22, 23].
It is suggested that [14, 29] a way of increasing deviation from spherical grains is by increasing the strain rate with the explanation that this allows the specimen to sustain more plastic strain prior to necking.
The system employs an FIB/STEM compatible holder with a specially designed tilt mechanism, which allows the specimen to be tilted through 360° [T. Yaguchi, M. Konno, T. Kamino, T. Hashimoto, T. Ohnishi, K. Umemura, K. Asayama, Microsc. Microanal. 9 (Suppl. 2) (2003) 118; T. Yaguchi, M. Konno, T. Kamino, T. Hashimoto, T. Ohnishi, M. Watanabe, Microsc. Microanal. 10 (Suppl. 2) (2004) 1030].
A hydraulic system that allowed the specimen to be pressurized with PBS solution.
The performance was affected by the holddown detail, which in many cases did not allow the test specimens to reach or maintain a yield capacity and severely diminished the overall system ductility.
