The worn surfaces were studied by scanning electron microscopy in order to identify the wear mechanisms.
Atomic force microscopic studies of Au-LPa large were performed through tapping mode atomic force microscopy in order to determine the particle size and morphology of these nanoparticles.
After establishing the complete decomposition of the silver salt and reduction of the cations toward silver nanoparticles, we employed TEM microscopy in order to fully characterize the samples.
The nanoparticle size distribution was also verified using atomic force microscopy in order to obtain the dimensional characteristics of single nanoparticles and statistical data of Cu assembly.
Experimental investigations are performed by atomic force microscopy in order to determine the response of the gold microbridges under an applied force.
The microstructures of the specimens are examined with optical microscopy in order to identify the possible carbide formation from the carbon fibers.
We have fabricated polymer tips for atomic force microscopy in order to elucidate the effects of tip length and shape on cantilever vibration damping in liquids.
Future studies may use more sophisticated techniques such as confocal microscopy, wide-angle confocal microscopy or laser scanning microscopy in order to gain precise three-dimensional topographical values and to evaluate their influence on microbial adhesion.
In this paper, mortar samples from the Horse Stopped Wall were characterized via X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetry, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, iodine-starch analysis and scanning electron microscopy in order to better understand its properties.
Believing that the characterization of the physical chemical properties of NP is relevant for the study of their biological activity, we analyzed CoO NP morphology by electron microscopy in order to define aggregation, size, and shape.
We treated rice roots with Agrobacterium strain LBA4404/pOsAP2/ERF and stained with propidium iodide (PI) followed by confocal microscopy in order to determine if transient transfer of OsAP2/ERF induces PCD.
