Secondary electron imaging in the variable pressure scanning electron microscope

Secondary electron imaging is not possible in the variable pressure scanning electron microscope because the mean free path of the secondaries in the gas is too short to permit them to reach the detector. This paper therefore investigates an alternative strategy for producing an image containing significant amounts of secondary electron contrast. This involves modifying the microscope by the addition of a biased electrode above the sample and then collecting a specimen current signal. This system, originally described by Farley and Shah (1988), is found to produce true secondary electron detail over a wide range of conditions.

Performance evaluation of CBN,coated carbide,cryogenically treated uncoated/coated carbide inserts in finish-turning of hardened steel

In the present work, the performance of cubic boron nitride (CBN) inserts was compared with coated carbide and cryogenically treated coated/uncoated carbide inserts in terms of flank wear, surface roughness, white layer formation, and microhardness variation under dry cutting conditions for finish turning of hardened AISI H11 steel (48–49 HRC). The flank wear of CBN tools was observed to be lower than that of other inserts, but the accumulated machining time for all the four edges of carbide inserts were nearer to or better than the PCBN inserts. Results showed that tool life of carbide inserts decreased at higher cutting speeds. The surface roughness achieved under all cutting conditions for coated-carbide-treated/untreated inserts was comparable with that achieved with CBN inserts and was below 1.6 μm. The white layer formation and microhardness variation is less while turning with cryogenically treated carbide inserts than the CBN and untreated carbide. At low to medium cutting speed and feed, the performance of carbide inserts was comparable with CBN both in terms of tool life and surface integrity.

Lubricating and physico-chemical properties of CI- 4 plus engine oil dispersed with surface modified multi-walled carbon nanotubes

This paper studies the effect of surface modification of multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) prior to dispersion in engine oil to improve the tribological properties. The MWCNTs are stabilised in the lubricant with two different surfactants cetrimonium bromide (CTAB) and sorbitan monooleate (SPAN 80) and the effect of surfactants on the tribological properties has been studied. Pristine and surface modified MWCNTs in weight per cent range of 0·5% are dispersed in CI4 plus diesel engine oil. The foaming tendency and other physico-chemical properties of test lubricant have been studied to investigate the effect of nano materials and surfactants. The anti-wear and anti-friction properties are tested on a four ball wear tester and the comparison is made to assess the relative performance of pristine MWCNTs over surface modified MWCNTs. A strong influence of the surface modification technique is found on lubricating and physico-chemical properties. Both CTAB and SPAN 80 could keep the MWCNTs stable in the lubricant without compromising the foaming tendency of lubricant and other physico-chemical properties. The friction and wear characteristics of lubricants have improved with the dispersion of surface modified MWCNTs while there is no improvement in the properties of lubricant dispersed with pristine MWCNTs.     

Surface behaviour of as-Cast Al–Fe intermetallic composites

In order to produce energy-efficient material for tribological applications, Al–Fe inter-metallic composites have been produced by liquid metallurgy route. Iron content of the composites varies from 1.67 to 11.2 wt.%. These composites have been tested for their wear properties at different parameters. Debris and wear tracks have been studied in detail to see the surface effects during dry sliding and have been correlated to wear properties. Observations show that low loads and sliding velocities are dominated by oxidative debris and largely covered wear track surface with smooth oxide layer is observed. Whereas metallic debris dominates at higher loads and sliding velocities and highly deformed wear track surface with deep grooves and gross delamination were observed. Further, wear rate is seen to increase continuously with load whereas with sliding velocity it attains a minima after initial decrease and then increases continuously. Low solubility of iron supports the formation of FeAl₃ and an increase in hardness from 95 to 179 VHN continuously improves the wear resistance with increase in percentage iron.     

Virtual biopsy of the joint tissues using near-infrared, reflectance confocal microscopy. A pilot study

Standard noninvasive imaging techniques applied to joints provide gross morphological features, insufficient for assessing histological detail. On the other hand, biopsying is invasive, time consuming, and may involve unwanted processing artifacts. Near-infrared reflectance confocal microscopy is a technique that allows serial, high-resolution optical sectioning through intact tissues without employing exogenous fluorescent stains. The aim of this work was to evaluate the potential utility of near-infrared reflectance confocal microscopy for providing immediate histological information on meniscus, articular cartilage, epiphyseal plate, bone, muscle, and tendon. Images from near-infrared reflectance confocal microscopy were compared with mirror routine histology sections. Characteristic architectural features were readily visualized in the three dimensions of space. Additionally, the use of experimental contrast agents highlighted the localization of nuclei. Limitations include penetration depth and minor optical artifacts. In conclusion, near-infrared reflectance confocal microscopy is a useful technique for immediate, nondestructive, serial "virtual" sectioning through intact tissues, being thus a potential adjunct to current imaging techniques in orthopedics.     

Narrowband Organic Light‐Emitting Diodes for Fluorescence Microscopy and Calcium Imaging

Fluorescence imaging is an indispensable tool in biology, with applications ranging from single‐cell to whole‐animal studies and with live mapping of neuronal activity currently receiving particular attention. To enable fluorescence imaging at cellular scale in freely moving animals, miniaturized microscopes and lensless imagers are developed that can be implanted in a minimally invasive fashion; but the rigidity, size, and potential toxicity of the involved light sources remain a challenge. Here, narrowband organic light‐emitting diodes (OLEDs) are developed and used for fluorescence imaging of live cells and for mapping of neuronal activity in Drosophila melanogaster via genetically encoded Ca²⁺ indicators. In order to avoid spectral overlap with fluorescence from the sample, distributed Bragg reflectors are integrated onto the OLEDs to block their long‐wavelength emission tail, which enables an image contrast comparable to conventional, much bulkier mercury light sources. As OLEDs can be fabricated on mechanically flexible substrates and structured into arrays of cell‐sized pixels, this work opens a new pathway for the development of implantable light sources that enable functional imaging and sensing in freely moving animals.     

Optimization of photochemical machining process parameters for manufacturing microfluidic channel

In the present study, the investigation on photochemical machining (PCM) of stainless steel (SS-304) by ferric chloride as etchant is reported. SS-304 is machined by PCM process to obtain accurate dimensions and better geometrical features. Weighted grey relational analysis (WGRA) technique is used in optimization of PCM process parameters. DoE (L₂₇) orthogonal array is applied to evaluate machining parameters, such as concentration of etchant, etching time, and temperature of etchant. The multiobjective optimization technique is used to optimize material removal rate (MRR), surface roughness (R_a), undercut (U_c) and etch factor (EF). Weighted grey relational grade is calculated to minimize U_c and surface roughness and to maximize MRR and EF. The quality characteristics MRR, EF, U_c, and R_a are reporting the improvement after the confirmatory test. The optimum machining parameters are processed to manufacture the microfluidic channel used in biomedical applications. The microfluidic channels and its assembly with Y-type for mixing of fluid with a size of 100 µm, 200 µm, and 300 µm are developed and investigated.
