Information transfer of a 1-MV field-emission transmission electron microscope (TEM) was improved by reducing mechanical vibrations and improving the stability of an acceleration voltage. The resulting mechanical stability was estimated from lattice fringes with an obtained spacing of 19.6 pm under achromatic conditions. This value corresponds to a vibration amplitude of <19.6 pm. The stability of the acceleration voltage was improved by reducing thermal noises in the power supply. As a result, 39.2-pm-spacing linear lattice fringes were obtained under chromatic conditions. This indicates that 25.5 nm(-1) information transfer was accomplished in the 1 MV field-emission TEM.

Background: In the present study, Selenium Nanoparticles (SeNPs) were prepared using Bacillus coagulans, which is a type of Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB), and then they were applied to treat breast cancer cells.
Methods: The chemicophysical properties of the bioengineered SeNPs were investigated by Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FE-SEM), zeta potential, dynamic light scattering, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) and X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD). The cytotoxic potential of SeNPs was evaluated by MTT assay against MCF-7 breast cancer cell line.

In this study, anodic aluminum oxide membranes (AAOMs) and Au-coated AAOMs (AAOM/Au) with pore diameters of 55 nm and inter-pore spacing of 100 nm are used to develop ZnO/AAOM and ZnO/ZnAlO/Au nanoarrays of different morphologies. The effects of the electrodeposition current, time, barrier layer, and Au coating on the morphology of the resultant nanostructures were investigated using field emission scanning electron microscopy. Energy dispersive X-ray and X-ray diffraction were used to analyze the structural parameters and elemental composition of the ZnO/ZnAlO/Au nanoarray, and the Kirkendall effect was confirmed.
