This paper considers the problems of thin-skin surface currents applied to conducting plates that have through holes or through cracks in them. The surface field distributions depend on the parameter m ═ ( μ 0 / μ ) ( l / δ ), where μ 0 / μ is the ratio of the free space to the specimen magnetic permeability and l / δ is the ratio of the flaw length dimension l to the skin depth δ . When m is small the fields are surface Laplacian distributions that can be computed by using methods of conformal mapping. The paper gives these distributions for circular holes and through cracks. Experiments are described for both these geometries, which confirm the incident and the leakage field distributions calculated for the two faces of the plate.

The scanning electron microscope (SEM) can be run at television scanning rates and used with a video tape recorder to observe dynamic specimen changes. With a conventional tungsten source, a low noise TV image is obtained with a field of view sufficient to cover the area of the specimen to be recorded. Contrast and resolution considerations have been elucidated and many changing specimens have been studied at TV rates.To extend the work on measuring the magnitude of charge and field distributions of small particles in the SEM, we have investigated their motion and electrostatic interaction at TV rates. Fig. 1 shows a time sequence of polystyrene spheres on a conducting grating surface inclined to the microscope axis. In (la) there are four particles present in the field of view, while in (lb) a fifth particle has moved into view.

The phase separation in the blends of poly(methyl methacrylate) and liquid-crystalline polymer (copolymer of ethylene terephthalate and p-hydroxybenzoic acid) has been studied by the light scattering method and the cloud point curves have been obtained. Simultaneously some morphological features of the blends have been observed. It was found that the initial blends are in the state of forced compatibility and that thermally induced phase separation occurs by the mechanism of spinodal decomposition but presumably in the non-linear regime.
