A systematic structural characterization has been conducted on combustion synthesized MoSi2–Si3N4 powders and plasma sprayed composites by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The powders are cleaner and with little surface oxide contamination than most commercial powders. The distribution of the two phases can be tailored by modifying the synthesis conditions, which has resulted in improved retention of Si3N4 after plasma spraying. TEM studies performed on deformed composites indicate a strong link between even dispersion of second phases and enhanced dislocation plasticity in the plasma sprayed composites.

Characterization of Borrelia burgdorferi strains by means of negative staining EM has become an integral part of many studies related to the biology of the Lyme disease organism. However, relying solely upon negative staining to compare new isolates with prototype B31 or other borreliae is often unsatisfactory. To obtain more satisfactory results, we have relied upon a correlative approach encompassing a variety EM techniques, i.e., scanning for topographical features and cryotomy, negative staining and thin sectioning to provide a more complete structural characterization of B. burgdorferi.For characterization, isolates of B. burgdorferi were cultured in BSK II media from which they were removed by low speed centrifugation. The sedimented borrelia were carefully resuspended in stabilizing buffer so as to preserve their features for scanning and negative staining. Alternatively, others were prepared for conventional thin sectioning and for cryotomy using modified procedures. For thin sectioning, the fixative described by Ito, et al.
