Staining Techniques

Structural investigations of biological macromolecules commonly employ CTEM with negative staining techniques. Difficulties in valid image interpretation arise, however, due to problems such as variability in thickness and degree of penetration of the staining agent, noise from the supporting film, and artifacts from defocus phase contrast effects. In order to determine the effects of these variables on biological structure, as seen by the electron microscope, negative stained macromolecules of high density lipoprotein-3 (HDL3) from human serum were analyzed with both CTEM and STEM, and results were then compared with CTEM micrographs of freeze-etched HDL3. In addition, we altered the structure of this molecule by digesting away its phospholipid component with phospholipase A2 and look for consistent changes in structure.

Elastic And Inelastic Scattering

The theory of multiple scattering has been worked out by Groves and comparisons have been made between predicted and observed signals for thick specimens observed in a STEM under conditions where phase contrast effects are unimportant. Independent measurements of the collection efficiencies of the two STEM detectors, calculations of the ratio σe/σi = R, where σe, σi are the total cross sections for elastic and inelastic scattering respectively, and a model of the unknown mass distribution are needed for these comparisons. In this paper an extension of this work will be described which allows the determination of the required efficiencies, R, and the unknown mass distribution from the data without additional measurements or models. Essential to the analysis is the fact that in a STEM two or more signal measurements can be made simultaneously at each image point.

The comparison of scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) with conventional transmission electron microscopy (CTEM) can best be made by means of the Reciprocity Theorem of wave optics. In Fig. 1 the intensity measured at a point A’ in the CTEM image due to emission from a point B’ in the electron source is equated to the intensity at a point of the detector, B, due to emission from a point A In the source In the STEM. On this basis it can be demonstrated that contrast effects In the two types of instrument will be similar. The reciprocity relationship can be carried further to include the Instrument design and experimental procedures required to obtain particular types of information. For any. mode of operation providing particular information with one type of microscope, the analagous type of operation giving the same information can be postulated for the other type of microscope. Then the choice between the two types of instrument depends on the practical convenience for obtaining the required Information.

Diffraction Effects

Smith has shown by dark-field electron microscopy of extracted ThO2 particles from TD-nickel (2% ThO2) that they possess single crystal characteristics. It is generally assumed that these particle dispersions are incoherent. However, some diffraction effects associated with the particle images appeared to be similar to coherency strain fields. The present work will demonstrate conclusively that ThO2 dispersed particles in TD-nickel (2% ThO2) and TD-NiCr (2% ThO2, 20% Cr, Ni) are single crystals. Moreover, the diffraction contrast effects are extinction fringes. That is, these effects arise because of the particle orientation with respect to the electron beam and the extinction conditions for various operating reflections The particles are in fact incoherent.

Beam Reflection

A Philips EM 420 electron microscope equipped with a field emission gun and an external STEM unit was used to compare images of single crystal surfaces taken by conventional reflection electron microscopy (REM) and scanning reflection electron microscopy (SREM). In addition an angle-resolving detector system developed by Daberkow and Herrmann was used to record SREM images with the detector shape adjusted to different details of the convergent beam reflection high energy electron diffraction (CBRHEED) pattern.Platinum single crystal spheres with smooth facets, prepared by melting a thin Pt wire in an oxyhydrogen flame, served as objects. Fig. 1 gives a conventional REM image of a (111)Pt single crystal surface, while Fig. 2 shows a SREM record of the same area. Both images were taken with the (555) reflection near the azimuth. A comparison shows that the contrast effects of atomic steps are similar for both techniques, although the depth of focus of the SREM image is reduced as a result of the large illuminating aperture. But differences are observed at the lengthened images of small depressions and protrusions formed by atomic steps, which give a symmetrical contrast profile in the REM image, while an asymmetric black-white contrast is observed in the SREM micrograph. Furthermore the irregular structures which may be seen in the middle of Fig. 2 are not visible in the REM image, although it was taken after the SREM record.

Abstract. Two experiments examined the influence of stories on recipients’ self-perceptions. Extending prior theory and research, our focus was on assimilation effects (i.e., changes in self-perception in line with a protagonist’s traits) as well as on contrast effects (i.e., changes in self-perception in contrast to a protagonist’s traits). In Experiment 1 ( N = 113), implicit and explicit conscientiousness were assessed after participants read a story about either a diligent or a negligent student. Moderation analyses showed that highly transported participants and participants with lower counterarguing scores assimilate the depicted traits of a story protagonist, as indicated by explicit, self-reported conscientiousness ratings. Participants, who were more critical toward a story (i.e., higher counterarguing) and with a lower degree of transportation, showed contrast effects. In Experiment 2 ( N = 103), we manipulated transportation and counterarguing, but we could not identify an effect on participants’ self-ascribed level of conscientiousness. A mini meta-analysis across both experiments revealed significant positive overall associations between transportation and counterarguing on the one hand and story-consistent self-reported conscientiousness on the other hand.
