As part of the study of the mercury-photosensitized decomposition of dimethyl ether, the combination of methyl radicals has been investigated in the temperature range 200 to 300 °C and at pressures between 3 and 300 mm Hg. For pressures of less than 100 mm the second-order rate coefficient for the combination of methyl radicals shows a pressure dependence. The pressure dependence agrees qualitatively with that observed by others, but occurs at somewhat higher pressures. Calculations for the Kassel equation using the Arrhenius parameters for ethane decomposition and fitted to the pressure dependence of the methyl radical combination show that the number of effective modes for ethane decomposition is 8 or 9. Carbon dioxide was found to be a quite ineffective third body for energy transfer. The results for the mercury-photosensitized decomposition of dimethyl ether have also been analyzed to obtain information about the combination of methyl radicals with methoxymethyl radicals. The combination of these radicals becomes pressure dependent at pressures less than about 15 mm. Kassel integrations based on the rate constant [Formula: see text]for the unimolecular decomposition of methyl ethyl ether at the C—C bond, and fitted to the observed pressure dependence of the combination reaction, lead to s = 10 for these reactions.The rate constant for the abstraction of a hydrogen atom by a methyl radical from dimethyl ether was found to be [Formula: see text]

Monomeric styrenes are demonstrated as excellent embedding media for electron microscopy. Monomeric styrene has extremely low viscosity and low surface tension (less than 1) affording extremely rapid penetration into the specimen. Spurr's Medium based on ERL-4206 (J.Ultra. Research 26, 31-43, 1969) is viscous, requiring gradual infiltration with increasing concentrations. Styrenes are soluble in alcohol and acetone thus fitting well into the usual dehydration procedures. Infiltration with styrene may be done directly following complete dehydration without dilution.Monomeric styrenes are usually inhibited from polymerization by a catechol, in this case, tertiary butyl catechol. Styrene polymerization is activated by Methyl Ethyl Ketone peroxide, a liquid, and probably acts by overcoming the inhibition of the catechol, acting as a source of free radical initiation.Polymerization is carried out either by a temperature of 60°C. or under ultraviolet light with wave lengths of 3400-4000 Engstroms; polymerization stops on removal from the ultraviolet light or heat and is therefore controlled by the length of exposure.

Photoemission Electron

In photoelectron microscopy (PEM), also called photoemission electron microscopy (PEEM), the image is formed by electrons which have been liberated from the specimen by ultraviolet light. The electrons are accelerated by an electric field before being imaged by an electron lens system. The specimen is supported on a planar electrode (or the electrode itself may be the specimen), and the accelerating field is applied between the specimen, which serves as the cathode, and an anode. The accelerating field is essentially uniform except for microfields near the surface of the specimen and a diverging field near the anode aperture. The uniform field forms a virtual image of the specimen (virtual specimen) at unit lateral magnification, approximately twice as far from the anode as is the specimen. The diverging field at the anode aperture in turn forms a virtual image of the virtual specimen at magnification 2/3, at a distance from the anode of 4/3 the specimen distance. This demagnified virtual image is the object for the objective stage of the lens system.

Ultraviolet Laser

The biological effects of short-wave ultraviolet light has generally been described in terms of changes in cell growth or survival rates and production of chromosomal aberrations. Ultrastructural changes following exposure of cells to ultraviolet light, particularly at 265 nm, have not been reported.We have developed a means of irradiating populations of cells grown in vitro to a monochromatic ultraviolet laser beam at a wavelength of 265 nm based on the method of Johnson. The cell types studies were: i) WI-38, a human diploid fibroblast; ii) CMP, a human adenocarcinoma cell line; and iii) Don C-II, a Chinese hamster fibroblast cell strain. The cells were exposed either in situ or in suspension to the ultraviolet laser (UVL) beam. Irradiated cell populations were studied either "immediately" or following growth for 1-8 days after irradiation.Differential sensitivity, as measured by survival rates were observed in the three cell types studied. Pattern of ultrastructural changes were also different in the three cell types.
