To produce high-quality cement, the mineralogical and chemical composition of raw materials, as well as of intermediate and finished products, needs to be determined. At each stage of the production ...
The Izod impact test fixes one end of a notched specimen in a cantilever position by means of a vice. A striker on the arm of a pendulum or similar energy carrier then strikes the specimen. The energy ...
Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is a very popular analysis tool for 3D surface topology visualization and other measurements on a wide range of materials at nanoscales ...
As a surface-sensitive technique, the diffraction signal comes from the top few nanometers of the crystal lattice in EBSD. Hence, the top layer needs to be devoid of oxidation, contamination and ...
Addressing interfacial effects during specimen preparation in cryogenic electron microscopy remains challenging. Here we introduce ESI-cryoPrep, a specimen preparation method based on electrospray ...
Sample preparation plays a crucial role in bioanalytical analysis involving chromatography. Insufficient sample preparation, such as skipping protein precipitation, phospholipid removal (PLR), ...
The speed and efficiency of data collection and image processing in cryo-electron microscopy have increased over the last decade. However, cryo specimen preparation techniques have lagged and faster, ...
