Abstract:
Thermal analysis is an analytical method that contains a wide variety of essential approaches that study the materials by testing their properties variations with the variation of heating and time. Many thermal techniques are available for characterisation of many of the thermochemical and thermophysical features of the materials. Thermoptometry is one of the thermal analysis techniques that defined as a family of thermoanalytical techniques where an optical feature of the test sample is monitored with time and/or temperature. Some thermal transitions cannot be understood accurately with common thermal analysis techniques. Hot-stage (thermal) microscopy is the blend of microscopy and thermal investigation to allow the properties of the materials to study with heating and time. Besides determining details about particle size and particle morphology, the optical evaluation offers useful data about the substance under testing relating to glass transition, melting transition or various other thermal changes. Thermal microscopy provides an excellent possibility to visually observe thermal changes.Keywords:

Abstract This article describes the various aspects relating to the selection and preparation of ultrathin-section specimens of fiber-reinforced polymeric composites for examination by transmitted light microscopy. It provides information on the contrast-enhancement methods used by transmitted-light microscopy and optimization of microscope conditions. Examples of composite ultrathin sections analyzed using transmitted-light microscopy contrast methods are also presented.

We present a single-pixel microscope with optical sectioning by combining two structured illumination methods: structured illumination microscopy (SIM) and single-pixel imaging (SPI). Experimental results are shown for the application in 3D fluorescence microscopy by scanning different axial planes.

Chapter 15 surveys the characterization of macro, micro and meso morphologies of polymer blends by optical microscopy. Confocal Microscopy offers the ability to view the three dimensional morphology of polymer blends, popular in characterization of biological systems. Confocal microscopy uses point illumination and a spatial pinhole to eliminate out-of focus light in samples that are thicker than the focal plane.

This special issue of Microscopy Today is devoted to light microscopy. Light microscopy is microscopy that employs light as a medium, or so I thought. Every week I see “optical microscopy” used as a synonym for light microscopy. I cannot understand the popularity of this confusing term. For people outside our field, the term “optical microscopy” must be perplexing: does it mean electron optical or light optical? My point is that we should present the techniques we use in clear unambiguous language: light microscopy, electron microscopy, scanned probe microscopy, etc. Regardless of logic, there are still strong adherents to the term “optical microscopy.”

In light microscopy (or optical microscopy) visible light is either transmitted through or reflected from the specimen before it is observed or recorded. In its simplest imaging mode, bright field microscopy, the illumination light is modulated in intensity or color depending on the specimen's transmission or reflection properties before it enters the objective lens. The general drawbacks of this are limited resolution (which is constrained by the wavelength of visible light) and limited contrast. Several techniques exist for enhancing the contrast of light microscopes, such as dark field microscopy, phase contrast microscopy, (differential) interference contrast microscopy, or fluorescence microscopy. Most of them are applied to make otherwise invisible transparent objects, such a biological structures like cells, visible. Specimens that are too thick for transmitting light, however, require a reflected illumination - for which there are few alternatives for contrast enhancements.

Abstract The analysis of composite materials using optical microscopy is a process that can be made easy and efficient with only a few contrast methods and preparation techniques. This article is intended to provide information that will help an investigator select the appropriate microscopy technique for the specific analysis objectives with a given composite material. The article opens with a discussion of macrophotography and microscope alignment, and then goes on to describe various illumination techniques that are useful for specific analysis requirements. These techniques include bright-field illumination, dark-field illumination, polarized-light microscopy, interference and contrast microscopy, and fluorescence microscopy. The article also provides a discussion of sample preparation materials such as dyes, etchants, and stains for the analysis of composite materials using optical microscopy.

Abstract This paper describes novel concepts in equipment and measurement techniques that integrate optical electrical microscopy and scanning probe microscopy (SPM) capabilities into a single tool under the umbrella of optical nanoprobe electrical (ONE) microscopy. Optical imaging ONE microscopy permits non-destructive measurement capability that was lost more than a decade ago, when the early metal levels became electrically inaccessible to microprobers. SPM imaging techniques do not have sensitivity to many types of defects, and nanoprobing all of the transistors in an area pinpointed by optical electrical microscopy is often impractical. Thus, in many cases, ONE microscopy capability will permit analytical success instead of failure.
