AbstractA design approach to ferroelectric materials critically depends on an accurate description of the microscopic features associated with paraelectric-to-ferroelectric phase transitions. The fine structures of domains, domain walls, and domain boundary dynamics as well as a precise understanding of local atomic displacements can be accessed using adequate potential models based on ab initio calculations and advanced molecular dynamics simulations. For BaTiO3 a complex scenario of microscopic domains in the paraelectric (cubic) phase and in the ferroelectric (tetragonal) phase is obtained. Therein, the static and dynamic role of domain/antidomain features, as well as their dependence on Ti displacements around the <111> manifold is clearly emerging.

Electron microscopy can be used to study structures and phase transitions occurring in graphite intercalations compounds. The fundamental symmetry in graphite intercalation compounds is the staging periodicity whereby each intercalate layer is separated by n graphite layers, n denoting the stage index. The currently accepted model for intercalation proposed by Herold and Daumas assumes that the sample contains equal amounts of intercalant between any two graphite layers and staged regions are confined to domains. Specifically, in a stage 2 compound, the Herold-Daumas domain wall model predicts a pleated lattice plane structure.

Chromophobe pituitary adenomas arise from adenohypophysial cells and fail to exhibit cytoplasmic staining with conventional acid or basic dyes by light microscopy. The aim of the present work was to study the electron microscopic features of these tumors, to separate them into distinct entities and to correlate their fine structural appearances with secretory activity.Among 48 surgically removed various pituitary adenomas 30 tumors were found which, based on the tinctorial characteristics of the cytoplasm, corresponded to chromophobe adenomas. For electron microscopic investigation pieces of these tumors were fixed in 2.5 per cent glutaraldehyde in Sorensen's buffer, post fixed in 1 per cent osmium tetroxide in Millonig's buffer, dehydrated in graded ethanol and embedded in Epon 812. Ultrathin sections were stained with uranyl acetate and lead citrate.By electron microscopy it was possible to separate chromophobe adenomas into 3 distinct entities: 1) adenomas consisting of sparsely granulated growth hormone cells (7 cases).

Thin GexTe1-x (x = 0.15-0.8) were studied as a model substance of a composite semiconductor film, in addition being of interest for optical storage material. Two complementary modes of time-resolved TEM were used to trace the phase transitions, induced by an attached Q-switched (50 ns FWHM) and frequency doubled (532 nm) Nd:YAG laser. The laser radiation was focused onto the specimen within the TEM to a 20 μm spot (FWHM). Discrete intermediate states were visualized by short-exposure time doubleframe imaging /1,2/. The full history of a transformation was gained by tracking the electron image intensity with photomultiplier and storage oscilloscopes (space/time resolution 100 nm/3 ns) /3/. In order to avoid radiation damage by the probing electron beam to detector and specimen, the beam is pulsed in this continuous mode of time-resolved TEM,too.Short events ( <2 μs) are followed by illuminating with an extended single electron pulse (fig. 1c)

A variant of ductal carcinoma of the human breast which has been designated apocrine carcinoma has distinctive light and electron microscopic features. Such tumors comprise approximately 0.5% of breast carcinomas. Abundant cytoplasmic membrane bound vesicles (400-600 nm) with dense homogeneous osmophilic cores characterize these tumors. These granules are also seen in apocrine metaplastic breast epithelial lesions1 and appear to be responsible for the finely granular eosinophilic cytoplasm observed by light microscopy. A high content of intermediate affinity non-saturable 4S progesteroneestrogen binding protein (PEBP) in apocrine carcinoma has been reported.2 The present ultrastructural study evaluates the presence of apocrine granules in infiltrating ductal carcinoma (NOS) to determine if a correlation exists between apocrine granule content and the quantity of PEBP present.

Due to its high association with Raynaud’s phenomenon systemic sclerosis (SSc) is probably the most common connective tissue disease seen by vascular specialists. In part 1 of our systematic overview we summarize classification concepts of scleroderma disorders, the epidemiologic and genetic burden, the complex pathophysiologic background, and the clinical features and the stage-dependent capillary microscopic features of SSc. Furthermore, we address the diagnostic recommendations propagated by the German Network for Systemic Sclerosis and the Task Force for Diagnosis and Treatment of Pulmonary Hypertension of the European Society of Cardiology, the European Respiratory Society, and the International Society of Heart and Lung Transplantation.
