The electrical properties of the molecules can be determined by testbeds‚ scanning tunneling microscopy (STM)‚ conducting probe atomic force microscopy‚ STM break junctions and mechanical break junctions. But for now these still cannot provide an opportunity to prepare a working MED that could be used in applied set-ups. There

However they have the be used in a vacuum s so are not good to look at living organisms with. The other electron microscope is a Scanning electron microscope (SEM)‚ they scan a beam of electrons across a specimen‚ knocking off electrons from the specimen‚ that are then collected in a cathode ray tube to form an image. The images created are of the surface of the specimen and can be

Small fossilized Cyanobacteria have been extracted from Precambrian rock‚ and studied through the use of SEM and TEM (scanning and transmission electron microscopy). The STEM has become an important tool for research into all sorts of unicellular organisms. It has the ability to provide both images and quantitative data simultaneously; this is a very useful tool for structure

The winged bean (Psophocarpus tetragonolobus) is a twining‚ perennial herbaceous legume which can climb to 3-4 meters (Kantha and Erdman‚ 1985). As a leguminous plant‚ winged bean can be used in almost all parts of the plant. Fruit‚ leaves‚ flowers‚ bulbs and seed are edible and contain high protein and oil (Kotaru et al.‚ 1987; Dwiani et al.‚ 2014). The mature‚ dry seed is the most nutritious part of the winged bean. Their outstanding nutritive quality is based‚ above all‚ on their high protein

The introduction of the microscope as a tool for the biologist brought about a complete reappraisal of the micro- composition of biological tissues‚ organisms and cells. In the infancy of its application to organic materials‚ it was the implement of anatomists and histologists in particular‚ where previously unimagined structures in cells were revealed. More recent developments in biological specimen preparation have come from biochemists and physicists who have used the microscope to examine cells

Objective: In the present study‚ an attempt was made to improve the bioavailability of Zidovudine by formulating into Orodispersible tablets‚ as it has poor bioavailability and extensive pre systemic metabolism. Methods: In the present study‚ the mucilage extracted from Fenugreek seeds (Trigonella foenum-graecum) was used as superdisintegrant. The oral dispersible tablets were prepared by using wet granulation technique. A three factor two level (23) central composite design was employed for the

Through the use of scientific examinations‚ scientists were able to gain a deeper understanding of Lindow Man’s life and death. Through the use of scanning electron microscopy which produces high resolution‚ 3-D images‚ it can be seen that Lindow Man had a short trimmed moustache and beard and his stomach contents were also revealed. In his stomach it revealed that he had bran and wheat and plenty of
