Phytoliths formed on the leaf-blades of the seventeen Oryza species were examined using back-scattered electron imaging. The resulting descriptions of the phytoliths became the basis for a new key to the species of the genus. This key includes features useful for specific identification related to the silica bodies originating from epidermal cells upon both the mid-vein and bulliform cell, as well as of phytoliths originating from papillae, prickle hairs, large and small trichomes, and stomatal apparatus. These detailed phytolith descriptions, back-scattered electron images, and keys to both adaxial and abaxial sides of leaves, can now be used in identifying phytoliths from archaeological samples as well as extant species of Oryza.

Electron detectors used in scanning electron microscope accept electrons emitted from the specimen and convert them to an electrical signal that, after amplification, is used to modulate the gray-level intensities on a cathode ray tube, producing an image of the specimen. Electron detector is one of the key components dominating the performance of scanning electron microscope so that the development of electron detectors having high performance is indispensable to acquire high quality images using scanning electron microscope. In this paper, we designed and manufactured an electron detector and conducted a couple of image capture experiments using it. In particular, scintillator which generates light photons when it is struck by high-energy electrons was manufactured and experimental studies on the optimization of manufacturing condition was carried out. From experiments to evaluate the performance of our detector, it was verified that the performance of our detector is equivalent to or better than that of the conventional one.

The oscillatory zoning pattern in alunite from the Sungsan mine, Korea was studied by the back-scattered electorn(BSE) imaging and electron microprobe analysis. This zoning is not visible under the polarizing microscope, but is spectacularly illustrated in BSE image. Electron microprobe analysis reveals that the zoning is substantially due to the variation in the content of Na substituting for K in the A site of the alunite structure. With increasing brightess in BSE image, conternt of K increases but that of Na decreases. Delicate fine-scale zoning and sharp boundaries between adjacent zones suggest that the zoning would be ascribed to the variation in the composition of hydrothermal fluid around the growing alunite crystals. The effective factors for such a variation would be 1) the fluctuation in the composition of entering fluid. and/or 2) the rapid change in composition of fluid due to the rapid precipitation of more stable. Na-poor alunite.

옥천 변성대 남서부 지역에서 산출되는 변성 니질암에서는 muscovite, biotite 및 chlorite를 주로하는 phyllosilicate가 서로 intergrowth 또는 interlayer를 이루는 것이 편광현미경 관찰, EPMA 분석, Back Scattered Electron (BSE) image 관찰 및 Transmission Electron Micro-scope(TEM) 관찰을 통하여 확인되었다. 이들 광물들은 편광현미경 관찰에서 흔히 각각의 입자를 식별할 수 없을 정도의 미세 규모로 서로 intergrow 되어 있으며BSE image에서는 0.1$\mu\textrm{m}$ 이하의 아주 작은 크기에서부터 10.0$\mu\textrm{m}$ 정도 크기까지 다양한 규모의 intergrow를 형성하고 있음이 관찰되었다. TEM scale에서는 개별 layer 크기(약 10$\AA$)에서부터 수십 개 layer 크기의 interlayering을 보여준다. 이와 같은 intergrowth 또는 interlayering의 결과로 EPMA 분석에서 종종 보기에는 규진(homogeneous)한 입자라 하더라도 두 개 이상의 광물 성분이 섞여 있는 분석값을 나타내며 이러한 nonstoichiometry는 BSE image에서 interlayer(또는 intergrow) 된 것으로 관찰되는 부분에서 더욱 두드러진다.Chlorite zone에서는 chlorite와 muscovite의 interlayering (C/M)이 주로 발견되며 biotite zone과 garnet zone에서는 chlorite와 biotite의 interlayer (C/B)가 주로 관찰된다. 이는 chlorite zone에서는 속성작용에서 보편적으로 나타나는 C/M으로부터 chlorite가 분리되는 광물반응이 일어나는데 반해서 biotite zone과 garnet zone에서는 chlorite로부터 C/B를 거쳐 biotite를 생성하는 광물반응이 일어나는 것을 의미한다. 이와 같은 현상은 변성작용에서 phollosilicate의 광물반응의 엄밀한 의미에서는 평형(equilibrium) 상태에서 균질한 광물을 생성하기보다는 비평형(disequilibrium) 반응으로 일어난다는 것을 의미한다.

Microlite is crystallized under the supercooled condition of volcanic magma. This study reports the morphology and texture of microlites included in the obsidians from the Baekdusan (Mt. Baekdu), Kyushu (Japan), Hokkaido (Japan) and Lipari Island (Italy) by using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). Morphology and texture observed from the back scattered electron (BSE) image could give more detailed information on the microlite crystallization which cannot be acquired from the conventional optical microscope. Ten types of microlites are newly described according to the 14 morphological types of microlites by Clark (1961): Lath, Crenulite, Bacillite, Margarite, Belonites, Trichites, Arculites, Furculite, Scopulites, Scopulitic growth. Detailed description of the ten microlites can be used to interpret the crystallization and paragenetic relations of crystals during the cooling of acidic volcanic magma.

Studies on self-healing have currently been diversified and the methods to evaluate the studies have become more diversified as well. Among them, the back-scattered electron (BSE) image acquired through the scanning electron microscope (SEM) is attempted as the means to evaluate the self-healing effect on cracks. In order evaluate by the BSE image, sophisticated pre-processing of specimen is critical and this injected inside the particle, pore and artificial crack of the hardener to stabilize the structure of the newly generated self-healing product and it enables to endure the stress on polishing without deformation. The impregnated specimen smoothen the surface to obtain the BSE image of high resolution that polishing is made for diamond suspension for wet polishing after dry polishing. As a result of evaluating the self-healing product on the impregnated and polished self-healing specimen, the generated product is formed from the surface of the artificial crack and the self-healing substances are confirmed as $Ca(OH)_2$ and C-S-H.

This study aimed to recover native gold from the concentrate using microwave-nitric acid leaching and magnetic/hydro separation experiments. The insoluble-residue was filtered from leaching solution through microwave-nitric acid leaching experiment. As a result of the atomic absorption spectrometer(AAS) analysis of the filtered leaching solution, it was discovered that Au content was not eluted at all and it was observed from the back scattered electron(BSE) image that native gold was liberated in the insoluble-residue. When magnetic/hydro separation experiments were applied for the insoluble-residue, magnetic and non magnetic minerals were separtated from insoluble-residue. Magnetite was recovered from the magnetic minerals and as a result of applying the hydro separation experiment again for the non-magnetic mineral, native gold was recovered. The native gold was identified through the X-ray diffraction(XRD) analysis and BSE image.

In this study, an HP-mod. type(KHR-45A), which is used as a heater tube material in the pyrolysis process, was evaluated for its carburizing properties. It was confirmed from the microstructural observation of the tubes that the volume fraction of carbide increased and that the coarsening of Cr-carbide generated as a degree of carburization increased. The depth of the hardened layer, which is similar to the thickness of the carburized region of each specimen, due to carburization is confirmed by measurement of the micro-Vickers hardness of the cross section tube, which thickness is similar to that of the carburized region of each specimen. Two types of chromium carbides were identified from the EBSD (electron back-scattered diffraction) image and the EDS (energy-dispersive spectroscopy) analysis: Cr-rich $M_{23}C_6$ in the outer region and Cr-rich $M_7C_3$ in the inner region of tubes. The EDS analysis revealed a correlation between the ferromagnetic behavior of the tubes and the chromium depletion in the matrix. The chromium depletion in the austenite matrix is the main cause of the magnetization of the carburized tube. The method used currently for the measurement of the carburization of the tubes is confirmed; carburizing evaluation is useful for magnetic flux density measurement. The volume fraction of the carbide increased as the measuring point moved into the carburized side; this was determined from the calculation of the volume fraction in the cross-section image of the tubes. These results are similar to the trends of carburization measurement when those trends were evaluated by measurement of the magnetic flux density.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the dissolution components during corrosion of amalgams and to identify surface corrosion products in the modified Fusayama artificial saliva. Four type of amalgam alloys were used: low copper lathe cut amalgam alloy (Cavex 68), low copper spherical amalgam alloy (Caulk Spherical Alloy), high copper admixed amalgam alloy (Dispersalloy) and high copper single composition amalgam alloy (Tytin). Each amalgam alloy and Hg were triturated according to the manufacturer's direction by means of mechanical amalgamator (Capmaster, S.S.White), and then the triturated mass was inserted into the cylindrical metal mold which was 10mm in diameter and 2.0mm in height and condensed with compression of 150kg/$cm^2$ using oil pressor. The specimens were removed from the mold and stored at room temperature for 7 days and cleansed with distiled water for 30 minutes in an ultrasonic cleaner. The specimens were immersed in the modified Fusayama artificial saliva for the periods of 1 month, 3 months and 6 months. The amounts of Hg, Cu, Sn and Zn dissolved from each amalgam specimen immersed in the artificial saliva for the periods of 1 month, 3 months and 6 months were measured using Inductivity Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectrometry (ICPQ-1000, Shimadzu, Japan) and amount of Ag dissolved from amalgam specimen was measured using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry (Atomic Absorption/Flame emission spectrophotometer M-670, Shimadzu, Japan). A surface corrosion products of specimens were analysed using Electron Spectroscopy Chemical Analyser (ESCA PHI-558, PERKIN ELMER, U.S.A.). The secondary image and back scattered image of corroded surface of specimens was observed under the SEM, and the corroded surface of specimens was analysed with the EDX. The following results were obtained. 1. The dissolution amount of Cu was the most in high copper admixed amalgam(Dispersalloy) and the least in high copper single composition amalgam(Tytin). 2. Sn and Zn were dissolved during all the experiment periods, and dissolution amounts were decreased as the time elapsed. 3. Initial surface corrosion products were ZnO and SnO. 4. Corrosion of ${\gamma}$ and ${\gamma}_2$ phase in low copper amalgams was observed and Ag-Cu eutectic alloy phase was corroded in low copper spherical amalgam(Caulk Sperical Alloy). 5. Corrosion of ${\gamma}$ and $\eta$' phase in high copper amalgams was observed and Ag-Cu eutectic alloy phase was corroded in high copper admixed amalgam(Dispersalloy). 6. Sn-Cl was produced in the subsurface of low copper amalgams and high copper admixed amalgam.
