생물학 및 의학등의 생명과학에서는 현미경을 이용하여 생체물질 즉, 생체조직을 관찰하고 이에 대한 조직의 검사 결과를 판정하고 발표한다. 이때 필히 고정과정(fixation process)을 거쳐야 한 다. 즉, 생체조직중 조직의 구조, 특정 세포나 바이러스 및 효소등을 관찰할 때 고정과정을 거쳐 조직을 절편하고 이를 염색하여 현미경으로 검사하게 된다. 고정과정이란 생체물질을 안정화시키고 자기분해 혹은 부패를 방지하여 보존이 가능하도록 변화시키 는 과정으로, 조직내의 용해성 물질을 불용성 물질로 변형시키는 과정이다. 고정과정을 거친 생체조직 은 구조를 보존하고 있기 때문에 조직의 훼손이 없는 상태에서 절편이 가능하고 또한 염색상태를 좋게 하며 관찰시 contrast를 증진시킨다. 만약 고정과정을 거치지 않으면 물질의 세포막이 파괴되고 단백질 등의 물질이 용해되어 조직의 변형을 일으켜 제대로 조직을 관찰할 수 없게 된다. 고정과정에는 크게 화학적 고정법과 물리적 고정법이 있다. 화학적 고정법은 생체조직을 화학용액에 처리하는 방법이며, 물리적 고정법은 직접적인 열 혹은 초음파등으로 물질을 고정시키는 방법이다. 표 면과 내부의 열전도가 달라져 고정이 균일하게 되지 않는 단점을 가지고 있기 때문에 보통 2~6일의 고 정시간을 요하는 화학적 고정법을 사용하고 있다. 따라서 조직에 대한 총 검사시간이 최소 6일에서 최 대 12일이 요구된다. 병원등에서 조직검사의 결과가 늦게 발표되는 사유는 바로 화학적 고정법을 사용 하여 생체조직을 관찰하고 그 결과를 판정하기 때문이다. 본 고에서는 마이크로파를 이용하여 약 3시간만에 조직의 상태를 관찰할 수 있는 고정법을 소개한다. 마이크로파를 이용하여 조직을 고정하는 고정방법을 기존의 고정법과 비교하여 이들의 장단점을 나타 낸다. 본 연구자에 의해 개발된 마이크로파 고정기를 소개하고, 이를 이용하여 생체물질을 고정한뒤 절 편, 염색하여 현미경 관찰결과를 발표하여 본 연구의 방법이 기존 방법보다 우수함을 나타낸다.

Traditional ultrasonic evaluation to detect micro/small surface cracks is the pulse-echo technique using the normal immersion transducer with high frequency, or the angle beam transducer with surface wave. It is difficult to make the automatic ultrasonic system that is to detect micro and small surface crack and position on the large structure like steel and ceramic rolls, because of the huge data of inspection and the ambiguous position data of transducer. The aim of this study using the high precision scanning acoustic microscope with 10MHz large aperture transducer was to display the real time A, B, C-scan for the automatic ultrasonic system in order to detect the existence and position of surface crack. The ultrasonic method with large aperture transducer was improved the scanning time and speed over 10times faster than traditional methods.

Purpose : We tried to evaluate whether the detection rate of Helicobacter pylori in gastric biopsy specimens could be improved by using pre-embedding immunoelectron microscopy. Methods : A total of 119 children who complained of upper gastrointestinal symptoms were endoscoped at the Gyeongsang National University Hospital from July, 1996 to July, 1999. Five biopsy specimens(three for urease test, one for hematoxylin-eosin(H & E) staining, and one for preembedding immunoelectron microscopy) were obtained from each antrum and body. Immunoblotting analysis were also performed. Results : Among the 119 patients, H. pylori were found in 116 patients(97.5%) by the immunoelectron microscopy. Among three patients who were found H. pylori negative in immunoelectron microscopy, two patients showed H. pylori in H & E stained slides and one patient was urease test positive(color change within six hours). Urease tests were positive in 107 patients(89.9 %). The positive rate of immunoblotting tests was 81.5%. However, only 13 patients(10.9%) showed H. pylori on the H & E stained antrum or body tissue. Conclusion : In this study, we found H. pylori histopathologically in most of the pediatric patients who complained of upper gastrointestinal symptoms. This study showed that pre-embedding immunoelectron microscopic examinations can be used as a gold standard in the diagnosis of childhood H. pylori infection. However, this method also has limited capacity to detect widely scattered H. pylori compared to the other histopathologic diagnostic methods.

We introduce a new type of surface microscope using hydrodynamic phenomena. The fluid flow through the opening of the pipette probe is blocked at short distances between the probe and the surface, thus increasing the pressure loss. Therefore, a scanning flow impedance microscope (SFIM) can image the surface topology by scanning the probe with measuring the pressure loss. The SFIM can display the topology regardless of surface hardness, surface electrical conductivity, and surrounding fluid. The present letter contains the first experimental results on surface topography obtained with this novel microscope. The preliminary results in air demonstrate the lateral resolution of the SFIM is very close to the inner diameter of the probe.

In this experiment, a three dimensional structure analysis was carried out to examine the surface defects of semiconductor made artificially on known scale. It was investigated the three dimensional imaging according to the sample depth and the thermal diffusivity as well as the carrier transport properties. The thermal diffusivity measurement of the intrinsic GaAs semiconductor was also analyzed by the difference of frequency-dependence photoacoustic signals from the sample surface of different conditions. Thermal properties such as thermal diffusion length or thermal diffusivity of the Si wafer with and without defects on the surface were obtained by interpreting the frequency dependence of the PA signals. As a result, the photoacoustic signal is found to have the dependency on the shape and depth of the defects so that their structure of the defects can be analyzed. This method demonstrates the possibility of the application to the detection of the defects, cracks, and shortage of circuits on surface or sub-surface of the semiconductors and ceramic materials as a nondestructive testing(NDT) and a nondestructive evaluation(NDE) technique.

Quantitative analysis for non-host infection bacteriophage was conducted for their enumeration. Flow cytometry and epifluorescence microscopy (EPM) were selected as counting methods. Correlation analysis was performed based on the plaque assay method on the existing host infection and consisted of Pearson correlation statistical analysis, regression analysis, and difference analysis. Analyses of 12 samples with flow cytometry and plaque assay methods showed that there was a correlation of 96.7% with Pearson correlation value r=0.967, $R^2$ 0.9352, and difference value of 1.063. Analyses of 12 samples with EPM and plaque assay methods showed that there was a correlation of 99.0% with Pearson correlation value r=0.990, $R^2$ 0.9811, and difference value of 1.605. Therefore, flow cytometry and epifluorescence microscopy would be effective for enumeration of Weissella cibaria bacteriophage with plaque assay.

An ultra-precise infrared microscope consisting of a high-resolution infrared objective lens and infrared sensors is utilized successfully to obtain location information on the plane and depth of local heat sources causing defects in a semiconductor device. In this study, multi-layer semiconductor chips are analyzed for the positional information of heat sources by using a lock-in infrared microscope. Optimal conditions such as focal position, integration time, current and lock-in frequency for measuring the accurate depth of the heat sources are studied by lock-in thermography. The location indicated by the results of the depth estimate, according to the change in distance between the infrared objective lens and the specimen is analyzed under these optimal conditions.
