Objectives: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the influence of endodontic access cavities design on the removal of calcium hydroxide medication of the apical third of mandibular incisor root canal walls and dentinal tubules with different cleaning protocols: EDDY sonic activation, Er,Cr:YSGG laser-activated irrigation, or conventional irrigation with IrriFlex. Materials and Methods: Seventy-eight extracted human mandibular incisors were assigned to 6 experimental groups (n = 13) according to the endodontic access cavity and cleaning protocol for calcium hydroxide removal: traditional access cavity (TradAC)/EDDY; ultraconservative access cavity performed in the incisal edge (UltraAC.Inc)/EDDY; TradAC/Er,Cr:YSGG; UltraAC. Inc/Er,Cr:YSGG; TradAC/IrriFlex; or UltraAC.Inc/IrriFlex. Confocal laser scanning microscopy images were used to measure the non-penetration percentage, maximum residual calcium hydroxide penetration depth, and penetration area at 2 and 4 mm from the apex. Data were statistically analyzed using Shapiro-Wilk and WRS2 package for 2-way comparison of non-normally distributed parameters (depth of penetration, area of penetration, and percentage of non-penetration) according to cavity and cleaning protocol with the significance level set at 5%. Results: The effect of cavity and cleaning protocol interactions on penetration depth, penetration area and non-penetration percentage was not found statistically significant at 2 and 4 mm levels (p > 0.05). Conclusions: The present study demonstrated that TradAC or UltraAC.Inc preparations with different cleaning protocols in extracted mandibular incisors did not influence the remaining calcium hydroxide at 2 and 4 mm from the apex.

현대 과학기술에는 표면/계면 및 나노물질의 구조와 물성을 분석하는 다양한 방법들이 존재한다. 이들 분석장비들의 분해능과 감도의 향상으로 이전에는 보지 못한 물성들이 속속 발견되고 있다. 이러한 흐름 속에서 분석장비들의 다기능 시대가 열리고 있다. 예전에는 성분, 형태, 구조, 전자구조 등을 분석하기 위해 각각에 해당하는 분석장비들이 동원되었다. 하지만 21세기에 접어들어 분석장비들이 두 종류 이상의 분석이 가능하도록 개발되었다. 예를 들면, TEM으로 형태를 보는 것 외에도 TED와 EELS로 구조와 성분을 동시에 확인할 수 있게 되었다. 전통적인 성분 및 전자구조 분석법의 하나인 광전자분광법도 microscopy 기능을 탑재하는 변신이 있었다. 본 발표에서는 빛과 전자를 시료에 조사하여 물질의 성분, 형태, 구조, 전자구조 등을 동시에 분석이 가능한 분석법들에 대해 소개하고자 한다. 그 중, SPEM(Scanning Photoelectron Emission Microscopy)은 포항가속기연구소에 설치되어 있으며, PEEM(Photoelectron Microscopy)과 LEEM(Low Energy Electron Microscopy)은 수차보정장치를 갖춘 사양으로 최근 한국기초과학지원연구원에 설치되었다. 위에 언급한 장비를 활용하여 얻은 데이터를 바탕으로 나노물질의 표면 및 계면의 특성을 분석하는 방법 및 최근 연구 결과를 소개하고자 한다.

A histological study on the retina of Misgurnus anguillicaudatus was carried out by light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy as part of getting information about relation between its habitat and visual cells. The visual cells of the retina in M. anguillicaudatus, a bottom-dwelling freshwater pond loach in stagnant or slow waters such as swamps, reservoirs and paddy fields, consists of double cones and large rods. The cones form a row mosaic pattern in which the partners of double cones are linearly oriented with a large rod. In a double cone, the two members are unequal such that one cone may be longer than the other.

The protoplast formation of Streptomyces mitakaensis was monitored with scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. The normal cells formed regular mycelium and spore, and their cell wall and cell membrane appeared to be normal, but the cell wall of the lysozyme treated cells (1 mg/$m\ell$) was damaged, which was finally disappeared from cells to become protoplast in 30 to 60 minutes.

Here we show how by processing energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDS) data obtained using highly sensitive, new generation EDS detectors in the AZtec LayerProbe software we can obtain data of sufficiently high quality to non-destructively measure the number of layers in two-dimensional (2D) $MoS_2$ and $MoS_2/WSe_2$ and thereby enable the characterization of working devices based on 2D materials. We compare the thickness measurements with EDS to results from atomic force microscopy measurements. We also show how we can use electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) to address fabrication challenges of 2D materials. Results from EBSD analysis of individual flakes of exfoliated $MoS_2$ obtained using the Nordlys Nano detector are shown to aid a better understanding of the exfoliation process which is still widely used to produce 2D materials for research purposes.

The main purpose of this paper is the preparation of transmission electron microscopy (TEM) samples from the microsized powders of lithium-ion secondary batteries. To avoid artefacts during TEM sample preparation, the use of ion slicer milling for thinning and maintaining the intrinsic structure is described. Argon-ion milling techniques have been widely examined to make optimal specimens, thereby making TEM analysis more reliable. In the past few years, the correction of spherical aberration (Cs) in scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) has been developing rapidly, which results in direct observation at an atomic level resolution not only at a high acceleration voltage but also at a deaccelerated voltage. In particular, low-kV application has markedly increased, which requires a sufficiently transparent specimen without structural distortion during the sample preparation process. In this study, sample preparation for high-resolution STEM observation is accomplished, and investigations on the crystal integrity are carried out by Cs-corrected STEM.

미국산 사초속 식물의 잎의 표피형에 대한 조사로서 6 Sect., 6 Species에 대해 주사현미경을 사용하여 표피형을 조사하였다. 표피형의 구성요소인 숨구멍(Stomata), 세포벽(Cell wall), 유두돌기(Papillae), 가시돌기 (Prickle), 납질(Waxy)등의 모양을 조사하였다. 표피형 구성세포의 특징이 종류에 따라 차이가 있어 사초속 식물의 감별 및 분류에 좋은 형질이 될수가 있다고 보는 바이다.

We report for the first time the synthesis of niobium dioxide nanowires on a sapphire substrate by chemical vapor transport method. We identified single crystalline nature of as-synthesized nanowires by scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. Niobium dioxide nanowires with their large surface-to-volume ratio and high activities can be employed for electrochemical catalysts and immunosensors. The Raman spectrum of niobium dioxide nanowires also confirmed their identity.

End milling experiments are conducted to investigate characteristics of laser beam signals due to tool fracture. The laser beam signals are obtained with adapt focusing of tool. Tool states are identified wit h scanning electron microscopy and optical microscopy. It is demonstrated that the laser beam signals provide reliable informations about the cutting processes and tool states. Moreover, tool fracture can be detected successfully using coefficient of variation.
