Abstract:
Liquid crystals are substances which combine properties of both liquids and solids. To investigate the structures and slructurai defects of liquid crystals, freeze fracturing of these gel-Like substances has been performed successfully for many years. In the TEM the structures of the different types of liquid crystals have been investigated and the results confirmed the earlier investigations using polarizing light microscopy. These TEM studies extended the knowledge of structures and structural defects of this fascinating state of matter. However, freeze fractures were only carried out on liq

Abstract:
We present a mathematical model of the fracturing of water-saturated rocks and other porous materials in cold climates. Ice growing inside porous rocks causes large pressures to develop that can significantly damage the rock. We study the growth of ice inside a penny-shaped cavity in a water-saturated porous rock and the consequent fracturing of the medium. Premelting of the ice against the rock, which results in thin films of unfrozen water forming between the ice and the rock, is one of the dominant processes of rock fracturing. We find that the fracture toughness of the rock, the size of pr

Abstract:
Cell sizes of low-density polyethylene foams in the range of 0.5 to 5μm are most conveniently measured by SEM analyses. Unfortunately, the cell walls are relatively weak and fragile membranes that either collapse or are severely distorted by conventional surface preparation and sectioning techniques. Sectioning damage can be circumvented to some extent by freeze fracturing. However, fractures tend to propagate through the weakest structural features, they can be associated with severe deformation, even at liquid nitrogen temperatures, and they frequently do not yield planar surfaces for reliab

In high vacuum (HV) systems, as well as in ultra high vacuum (UHV) systems that have not been sufficiently baked out, the main component of the residual gas atmosphere is water. Adsorbed water is present on all surfaces of the vacuum chamber. Whether or not ice introduced into such a vacuum system sublimes depends on its saturation pressure (at the surface, as a function of the specimen temperature )and on the surrounding partial pressure of water (pH2O). These facts must be considered when fracturing frozen biological material in vacuum systems. Thus the critical condensation temperature ( 16

Abstract:
Several types of extramural substance(s) associated with rust fungal intercellular hyphae were identified using a variety of tissue processing techniques. With conventional glutaraldehyde–OsO4 fixing and uranyl acetate – lead citrate staining, little material could be discerned on the hyphal surfaces in nonsporulating areas except at locations of cell–cell contact, where a lightly staining fibrous or darker staining amorphous material was apparent. Freeze-substitution or freeze-fracturing preserved greater amounts of coating material, which could be distinguished from the outer fungal wall lay

Abstract:
SummaryThe conversion of the two-dimensional size distribution of casein micelles, observed by electron microscopy in a plane section, to the three dimensional distribution is discussed and the average size parameters evaluated by several methods are compared. It is shown that parameters containing the −1 moment of the two-dimensional distribution, i.e. Dn, the number of micelles per unit volume and the width of the size distribution, are sometimes uncertain. The occurrence of negative numbers in some of the classes of the distribution is discussed and remedies are suggested. Sections were mad

Abstract:
SummaryIn this study the influence of thrombin activation on human blood platelets has been followed by freeze-fracturing electron microscopy using rapid freezing in order to catch the initial changes in shape and the morphological alterations during the process of exocytosis of secretory granules. We found that isolation of the platelets by itself leads to some degree of shape change, which made it impossible to study the resting discoid platelet by rapid freezing.Activation of the platelets by thrombin induced dilation of the “surface connecting system (SCS)” with formation of large vacuoles

Abstract:
The results reported in this paper form a direct extension of the work of Heuser and Kirschner. These authors permeabilized cultured fibroblasts with Triton X-100 prior to rapid freezing, freeze-drying and rotary platinum coating for TEM viewing. We have permeabi1ized 3T3 cells in a stabilization buffer similar to that used by Heuser and Kirschner, rapidly frozen and fractured the permeabilized cells, rotary coated the preparations with platinum after both deep etching and critical-point drying and viewed them by both TEM and high-resolution SEM. By fracturing the cells we obtain an internal v
