The distributions of methylated naphthalenes in crude oils carry within them detailed information regarding the geological history of the oils. The effects of thermal stress, mixing, biodegradation and migration contamination all leave recognisable imprints, which can be deconvoluted. An extended suite of crude oils from several locations in Australia was analysed for their methylated naphthalene content. It was shown that three ratios of selected isomers, each reflecting the same underlying sedimentary reactions, are linearly related to each other when thermal stress has been the only factor controlling the distribution of methylated naphthalenes. This internal consistency allows for an assessment of maturity independent of source, age and location of the crude oil. When the relationships between the three ratios are not linear, secondary processes such as mixing, biodegradation or migration contamination have affected the crude oil. Close examination of the distribution of methylated naphthalenes can reveal the extent to which either of these processes has affected the oil.

Pr/nC17 and Ph/nC18 are normally available in geochemical analysis report. The data used to define sediment deposition environment and maturity. In this study, the comparison between Pr/nC17 and Ph/nC18 data from extracted mature rock and in crude oil regading to stratigraphy to reveal their relationship with oil&gas migration parth. The study results showed that Pr/nC17 and Ph/nC18 from extracted and crude oil reflect original oil and migration parth. Crude oil producing in Miocene & upper Oligocene and Lower Oligocene& Basement are mainly from Lower Oligocene+ Eocene? (E+F) source rock and one part of crude oil is generated from bottom part of formation D but only in most subsidising area of depression in central part of Cuu Long basin.

After experimetnal damage to the retina with a variety of procedures Müller cell hypertrophy and migration occurs. According to Kuwabara and others the reactive process in these injuries is evidenced by a marked increase in amount of glycogen in the Müller cells. These cells were considered originally supporting elements with fiber processes extending throughout the retina from inner limiting membrane to external limiting membrane, but are known now to have high lactic acid dehydrogenase activity and the ability to synthesize glycogen. Since the periodic acid-chromic acid-silver methenamine technique was shown to demonstrate glycogen at the electron microscope level, it was selected to react with glycogen in the fine processes of the Müller cell that ramify among the neural elements in various layers of the retina and demarcate these cells cytologically. The Rhesus monkey was chosen as an example of a well vascularized retina and the rabbit as an example of a avascular retina to explore the possibilities of the technique.

As was demonstrated by the present authors that atomic structure of simple crystal can be photographed by the conventional 100 kV electron microscope adjusted at “aberration free focus (AFF)” condition. In order to operate the microscope at AFF condition effectively, highly stabilized electron beams with small energy spread and small beam divergence are necessary. In the present observation, a 120 kV electron microscope with LaB6 electron gun was used. The most of the images were taken with the direct electron optical magnification of 1.3 million times and then magnified photographically.1. Twist boundary of ZnSFig. 1 is the image of wurtzite single crystal with twist boundary grown on the surface of zinc crystal by the reaction of sulphur vapour of 1540 Torr at 500°C. Crystal surface is parallel to (00.1) plane and electron beam is incident along the axis normal to the crystal surface. In the twist boundary there is a dislocation net work between two perfect crystals with a certain rotation angle.
