Abstract A microscope provided with a six-times micrometer eyepiece and objectives of 32 and 48 mm. focal length is suitable for measuring the cross-sectional dimensions of rubber test specimens. The width of specimens is usually greater than that of the die with which they were cut. The thickness of soft compounds as determined by the microscope is greater than that indicated by a gage of the plunger type. A MICROSCOPE of low power, equipped with a micrometer eyepiece, affords a convenient and practical means for accurately measuring the dimensions of rubber test specimens, and at the same time permits the inspection of specimens for defects. The equipment here described was designed particularly for measuring the width of the familiar dumb-bell shaped tensile test strips. At the present time no convenient and accurate gage is available for this purpose, and it is common practice to assume that the width of the specimen is the same as the die with which it was cut. The same equipment has been found satisfactory for determining the thickness of test strips, and is generally applicable for the measurement of dimensions up to about 6.4 mm. (0.25 inch). This use of the microscope embodies no original features. The method and equipment, however, are here described in some detail, since they may be of interest to investigators who may have occasion to make accurate mechanical measurements on rubber.

This paper is concerned with the analysis of geometric composites, whose reinforcement was made of plain weave fabric with different geometries. They were determined following the basic parameters of the textiles e.g. crimp length, crimp amplitude, thickness of the woven fabric, dimensions of the cross-sectional tow (tow width, tow height) and crimp angle. The number of fibers in the warp and tow strands and number of layers in the composites were also determined. These composites comprised of the same materials were subjected to a standard tensile test, according to DIN EN ISO 14 129. The mechanical properties of the composite as a whole were determined by tensile test.

The only form of cellulose which could unequivocally be ascribed to the animal kingdom is the tunicin that occurs in the tests of the tunicates. Recently, high-resolution solid-state l3C NMR revealed that tunicin belongs to the Iβ form of cellulose as opposed to the Iα form found in Valonia and bacterial celluloses. The high perfection of the tunicin crystallites led us to study its crosssectional shape and to compare it with the shape of those in Valonia ventricosa (V.v.), the goal being to relate the cross-section of cellulose crystallites with the two allomorphs Iα and Iβ.In the present work the source of tunicin was the test of the ascidian Halocvnthia papillosa (H.p.). Diffraction contrast imaging in the bright field mode was applied on ultrathin sections of the V.v. cell wall and H.p. test with cellulose crystallites perpendicular to the plane of the sections. The electron microscope, a Philips 400T, was operated at 120 kV in a low intensity beam condition.

Abstract The cross-sectional and planar analysis of current generation 3D device structures can be analyzed using a single Focused Ion Beam (FIB) mill. This is achieved using a diagonal milling technique that exposes a multilayer planar surface as well as the cross-section. this provides image data allowing for an efficient method to monitor the fabrication process and find device design errors. This process saves tremendous sample-to-data time, decreasing it from days to hours while still providing precise defect and structure data.
