Elastic strain of freely suspended single-wall carbon nanotube ropes
D. A. Walters,Lars M. Ericson,M. J. Casavant,Jie Liu,Daniel T. Colbert,Kenneth A. Smith,Richard E. Smalley +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors induced large elastic strains in ropes of single-wall carbon nanotubes, using an atomic force microscope in lateral force mode, and the maximum strain observed, 5.8±0.9%, gives a lower bound of 45±7 GPa for the tensile strength (specifically, yield stress) of single wall nanotube ropes.

Bacterially Induced Mineralization of Calcium Carbonate in Terrestrial Environments: The Role of Exopolysaccharides and Amino Acids
TL;DR: In this article, the role of specific bacterial outer structures (such as glycocalix and parietal polymers) on calcium carbonate crystallization in terrestrial environments was analyzed. But the results were limited to calcite and vaterite.

Comparison of hexamethyldisilazane (HMDS), Peldri II, and critical-point drying methods for scanning electron microscopy of biological specimens.
D. F. Bray,J. Bagu,P. Koegler +2 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that HMDS provides a time‐saving and inexpensive alternative to CPD for animal specimens and plant specimens, particularly those containing cells with large central vacuoles, are adequately preserved only with the CPD method.

Chemokine stimulation of human peripheral blood T lymphocytes induces rapid dephosphorylation of ERM proteins, which facilitates loss of microvilli and polarization
Martin J. Brown,Ruchika Nijhara,John A. Hallam,Michelle Gignac,Kenneth M. Yamada,Stanley L. Erlandsen,Jérôme Delon,Michael J. Kruhlak,Stephen Shaw +8 more
TL;DR: It is shown that chemokine stimulation of human peripheral blood T (PBT) cells is sufficient to induce rapid resorption of microvilli, which may facilitate 2 aspects of cytoskeletal reorganization involved in lymphocyte recruitment: loss of microVilli and polarization.

Sample preparation for scanning electron microscopy of plant surfaces--horses for courses.
A.K. Pathan,J. Bond,R.E. Gaskin +2 more
TL;DR: The current paper reviews common scanning electron microscopy techniques and the sample preparation methods employed for visualisation of leaves under specific types of electron microscopes and concludes that the choice of technique for a specific leaf sample is dictated by the surface features that need to be preserved.

Techniques for the preservaation of three-dimensional structure in preparing specimens for the electron microscope†
TL;DR: In this paper, a method of sample preparation that reduces distortion and maintains 3D structure is described, where a droplet is placed on a formvar-coated screen and fix with osmic acid vapor.

Preparation of animal tissues for surface-scanning electron microscopy.
Alan Boyde,C. Wood +1 more
TL;DR: This paper surveys common problems associated with the preparation of animal tissues so that natural or artificial surfaces may be studied in the scanning electron microscope (SEM).

Preparation of Alcohol-Preserved Larvae of Culicidae (Diptera) for Scanning Electron Microscopy
TL;DR: A method for preparation of alcohol-preserved culicid larvae for Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) studies is described, based on dehydration by ethanol-xylol and fast evaporation of xylol in +8o° C. for ten minutes.

The usefulness of glutaraldehyde‐carbohydrazide copolymerization in biological specimen stabilization for scanning electron microscopy
William T. Gunning,Richard Crang +1 more
TL;DR: The technique appears to provide the promise of further research applications in scanning electron microscopy which may employ conjugated procedures of immunocytochemistry and cathodoluminescence as well as X-ray microanalysis in limited situations.
