The ultrashort electron pulse, laser-emitted from the metal tip apex has been characterized and used as a probing source for a new electron microscope to visualize the morphology of the gold-mesh in the nanometric resolution. As the gap between the tungsten tip and Au-surface is approached within a few nm, the large electromagnetic field enhancement for the incident P-polarized laser pulse with respect to the tip-sample axis is strongly observed. Here, we demonstrate that the time-resolved tip-enhanced electron emission microscope (TEEM) can be implemented on the laboratory table top to give the two-dimensional image, opening lots of challenges and opportunities in the near future.

Microstructural characterizations of II-VI blue laser diodes which consist of quaternary $Zn_{1-x}Mg_xS_ySe_{l-y}$ cladding layer, ternary $ZnS_ySe_{l-y}$ guiding layer and $Zn_{0.8}Cd_{0.2}Se$ quantum well as active layer were carried out using the transmission electron microscope working at 300 kV. Even though the entire structure is pseudomorphic to GaAs substrate, the structure had contained numerous extended stacking faults and dislocations which had created at ZnSe/GaAs interfaces and then further grown to the top of the epilayers. These faults might be expected to cause the degradation and shortening the lifetime of laser devices.

In this paper, we synthesized 10 to 20 nm diameter NiFe nanoparticles and nanoparticle films utilizing supersonic jet deposition of nanoparticle aerosols generated by laser ablation of $30\;to\;45{\mu}m$ diameter permalloy $(Ni_{81}Fe_{19} \;at\;{\%})$ microparticles. The component and composition of the nanoparticles were characterized by an energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The morphology of the nanoparticles and nanoparticle films was analyzed by a high-resolution transmission electron microscopy and a scanning electron microscopy, respectively. The experimental results showed that the nanoparticles and nanoparticle films have remarkable properties with an excellent preservation of the composition of feedstock permalloy microparticles. The purpose of the present work is to present details on the composition and nanostructural characterizations for NiFe nanoparticles and nanoparticle films prepared by laser ablation of microparticles (LAM).

Confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) was used to examine archaeoparasitological specimens from coprolites associated with La Cueva de los Muertos Chiquitos (CMC) located near present-day Durango, Mexico. The eggs for 4 different types of parasites recovered from CMC coprolites were imaged using CLSM to assist with identification efforts. While some of the parasite eggs recovered from CMC coprolites were readily identified using standard light microscopy (LM), CLSM provided useful data for more challenging identifications by highlighting subtle morphological features and enhancing visualization of parasite egg anatomy. While other advanced microscopy techniques, such as scanning electron microscopy (SEM), may also detect cryptic identifying characters, CLSM is less destructive to the specimens. Utilizing CLSM allows for subsequent examinations, such as molecular analyses, that cannot be performed following SEM sample preparation and imaging. Furthermore, CLSM detects intrinsic autofluorescence molecules, making improved identification independent of resource and time-intensive protocols. These aspects of CLSM make it an excellent method for assisting in taxonomic identification and for acquiring more detailed images of archaeoparasitological specimens.

본 연구의 목적은 Nd:YAG 펄스레이저 조사 후 알루미늄 합금 6061-T6 시편의 표면상태에 대한 표면 거칠기의 영향을 연구하는 것이다. 초기 표면 거칠기를 다르게 하기 위해 다아이몬드 입자($1{\mu}m$)와 연마지(#100, #220, #600, #2400)를 이용하여 표면을 가공하였다. 10 번의 펄스레이저를 조사한 후 주사전자현미경과 광학현미경 그리고 원자현미경을 이용하여 표면상태를 관찰하였다. 그 결과 표면 거칠기가 증가할수록 용융부의 지름이 증가하였는데, 이는 표면 거칠기에 따라 표면부에서 레이저 빔의 다중반사와 다중흡수가 일어나 레이저 빔의 흡수율이 변하기 때문이다. 이를 검증하기 위해 용융부의 지름으로부터 표면 거칠기에 의해 증가하는 상대적인 흡수율을 계산하였으며 평균 표면 거칠기가 증가함에 따라 상대적인 흡수율이 용융부의 지름과 유사한 형태로 증가하는 것을 보였다.

레이저 용발법을 이용하여 폴리테트라플루오르에틸렌(PTFE: polytetrafluoroethylene) 박막을 증착하였다 사용한 레이저는 1064 nm Nd:YAG 레이저이고, 타겟은 그라파이트 분말이 도핑된 PTFE 펠릿(pellet) 이었다. 그라파이트는 포톤에너지를 효과적으로 흡수하여 열에너지로 전환시키고, 이 에너지를 인접한 PTFE에 전달한다. PTFE는 전달받은 열에너지에 의해서 열분해 된다. 타겟 표면에서 열분해에 의해 형성된 PTFE 단량체(monomer)들은 기판위에서 재중합반응(repolymerization)하여 필름을 형성하게 된다. 증착된 필름은 투명하고 결정화된 필름이었다. 주사전자현미경(SEM: scanning electron microscopy)과 원자현미경(AFM: atomic force microscopy)으로 분석한 결과, 필름의 표면은 박막의 두께가 증가할수록 섬유구조(fibrous structure)를 보였다. X선 광전자 분광기(XPS: X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy), 퓨리에 변화 적외선 분광기(FTIR: fouirer transform infrared spectroscopy)와 X선 회절분광기(XRD: X-ray diffraction)로 분석한 결과, 필름의 F/C 비는 1.7이고 분자축(molecular axis)은 기판과 나란했다.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the penetration pattern of dentin adhesives according to the orientation of dentinal tubules with confocal laser scanning microscopy. Specimens having perpendicular. parallel and oblique surface to dentinal tubules were fabricated. The primer of dentin adhesives (ALL $BOND^{\circledR}{\;}2,{\;}CLEARFIL^{TM}$ SE BOND and PQ1) was mixed with fluorescent material. rhodamine B isothio-cyanate (Aldrich Cherm. CO., Milw., USA), It was applied to the specimens according to the instructions of manufactures. The specimens were covered with composite resin (Estelite, shade A2) and then cut to a thickness of 500$\mu\textrm{m}$ with low speed saw (Isomet^{TM}, Buehler. USA). The adhesive pattern of dentin adhesives were observed by fluorescence image using confocal laser scanning microscopy. The results were as follows. 1. For the groups with tubules perpendicular to bonded surface. funnel shape of resin tag was observed in all specimen. However. resin tags were more prominent in phosphoric acid etching system (ALL $BOND^{\circledR}$ 2 and PQ1) than self etching system ($CLEARFIL^{TM}$ SE BOND). 2. For the groups with tubules parallel to bonded surface. rhodamine-labeled primer penetrated into peritubular dentin parallel to the orientation of dentinal tubules. But rhodamine-labeled primer of PQ1 diffused more radially into surrounding intertubular dentin than other dentin adhesive systems. 3. For the groups with tubules oblique to bonded surface. resin tags appeared irregular and discontinuous. But they penetrated deeper into dentinal tubules than other groups.

We describe a novel method of scanning probe nanofabrication using a AFM(atomic force microscopy) tip with assistance of Femtosecond laser pulses to enhance fabrication capability. Illumination of the AFM tip with ultra-short light pulses induces a strong electric field between the tip and the metal surface, which allows removing metal atoms from the surface by means of field evaporation. Quantum simulation reveals that the field evaporation is triggered even en air when the induced electric field reaches the level of a few volts per angstrom, which is low enough to avoid unwanted thermal damages on most metal surfaces. For experimental validation, a Ti: sapphire Femtosecond pulse laser with 10 fs pulse duration at 800 nm center wavelength was used with a tip coated with gold to fabricate nanostructures on a thin film gold surface. Experimental results demonstrate that fine structures with critical dimensions less than ${\sim}10nm$ can be successfully made with precise control of the repetition rate of Femtosecond laser pulses.

여성의 얼굴에 과색소침착이 발생하는 것은 불안감, 특히 미적인 요소에 있어서 많은 고민을 유발한다. 피부의 흑화는 자외선(UV)에 대하여 이를 방어하기 위한 기작으로 멜라닌의 양과 밀접한 관계가 있다. 이러한 피부의 구성성분을 관찰하기 위해, confocal scanning laser microscope (CSLM)은 피부에 직접 현미경 검사를 실시하여 어떠한 조직의 변화 없이 피부를 실시간으로 관찰할 수 있는 비침습적 이미지 장치이다. 본 연구에서는 자외선 조사를 통해 유도된 하박 내측 피부의 과색소침착을 유도하여, 다른 피부색을 평가하는 측정기기와 상관성을 분석하여, CSLM을 이용한 새로운 미백 평가방법을 제시하였다. CSLM을 활용한 미백 효능 평가법은 소비자가 보다 이해하기 쉽도록 미백 제품을 평가하는데 유용할 것으로 생각된다.
