The mechanism for the growth of 3D ZnO nanowall networks in nest-like structure by a pulsed laser deposition (PLD) technique have been investigated for dye sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) and biosensor applications. As complex oxides shift towards large vol ...
This device is for holding samples during their preparation prior to imaging in the electron microscope. The design means it can be transferred between the light and electron microscopes as well as trimming devices used to prepare the final sample. It can ...
This protocol describes how in vivo-imaged dendrites and axons in adult mouse brains can subsequently be prepared and imaged with focused ion beam scanning electron microscopy (FIBSESEM). The procedure starts after in vivo imaging with chemical fixation, f ...
Three-point bending tests were performed on double-anchored, < 110 > silicon nanowire samples in the vacuum chamber of a scanning electron microscope ( SEM) via a micromanipulator equipped with a piezoresistive force sensor. Nanowires with widths of 35nm a ...
This article summarizes recent technological improvements of focused ion beam tomography. New in-lens (in-column) detectors have a higher sensitivity for low energy electrons. In combination with energy filtering, this leads to better results for phase seg ...
We presented an approach for speeding-up image acquisition when tasked with localizing specific structures in FIB-SEM imagery. It exploits the fact that low-quality images can be acquired faster than higher-quality ones and yet be sufficient for inference ...
Carbon nanotubes with unique physical and mechanical properties have shown great potential for biological applications, including tissue engineering and mimicking the structure and properties of human bones. In the present work, sol-gel synthesized nanocom ...
Focused-ion-beam scanning electron microscopy (FIB-SEM) has become an essential tool for studying neural tissue at resolutions below 10 nm x 10 nm x 10 nm, producing data sets optimized for automatic connectome tracing. We present a technical advance, ultr ...
Correlating in vivo imaging of neurons and their synaptic connections with electron microscopy combines dynamic and ultrastructural information. Here we describe a semi-automated technique whereby volumes of brain tissue containing axons and dendrites, pre ...
The degradation mechanisms of cementitious materials exposed to sulfate solutions have been controversial, despite considerable research. In this paper, two methodologies of image analysis based on scanning electron microscope and chemical mapping are used ...
