Micro-scale observations of ash particles was performed using a JEOL JSM 6500 F Field Emission (Schottky-type) Scanning Emission Microscope (FE-SEM) at the Instituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia – Roma.
Thus, a recently developed technique to perform in-situ observation of micro scale bending fatigue experiments was applied.
In order to understand the underlying modification mechanisms of carbon fibers to cement mortar at micro scale and in theory, scanning electron microscope (SEM) observation and theoretical calculations were carried out.
During weeks two and three, student teams make a series of observations, both at the gross scale and the micro scale (using dissecting and compound microscopes, respectively), of live and preserved animals representing nine animal phyla that form the basis of their study.
French DEMETER (Detection of Electro-Magnetic Emissions Transmitted from Earthquake Regions) micro-satellite mission had been especially designed to provide global scale observations in the topside ionosphere over seismically active regions.
Based on the results, it can be concluded that SEM-EDS analysis and Microscopy observations can help to characterize compositional difference between corrosion layers in the micro scale as well as corrosion mechanisms occurring in archaeological metal artefacts.
The key observations are: In addition to known effects, two additional physical mechanisms increasingly surface at micro scale; and also determine the micro convection characteristics within continuum regime.
Glass plate and blotting paper are used and evaluated in this work to get as much information as possible, based on micro macro scale observations.
The group applies this knowledge to design, from the micro scale to the building scale.
At a micro scale it means that many communities simultaneously have unmet needs and underused capacities.
Permanent magnetic coatings show potential in micro scale applications such as micro motors and micro generators.
