The features of the growth morphology and structure of ion-plasma palladium-copper condensate both on the surface and in the pores of amorphous SiO2 and Al2O3 matrices were studied by scanning electron microscopy and high resolution transmission electron microscopy. Differences in the morphology and crystal structure of the metallic ion-plasma condensate obtained by magnetron sputtering deposition of the PdCu alloy on the surface and in a limited pore volume were shown and substantiated. The main regularities of the ion-plasma condensates formation on a developed surface with a high open porosity were discussed.
Introduction. Scanning electron microscopy acts as a promising method of analysis, allowing to describe in detail the identification features of closely related plant species, as well as to conduct micro-roentgenstructural analysis of the sample in the selected area with high accuracy. The method is used to study the morphology of the surface and express determination of the composition of elements in various fields (physics, materials science, medicine, however, the use of the method of scanning/raster electron microscopy for the analysis of plant raw materials in pharmacy is limited.Aim. The purpose of the study was to study species of the genus Persicaria Mill. using scanning electron microscopy.Materials and methods. The objects of study were the Persicaria maculosa S.F. Gray, Persicaria hydropiper (L.) Delarbre, Persicaria tomentósa (Schrank) E.P. Bicknell, Persicaria mínor (Huds.) Opiz, Persicaria amphibia (L.) Delarbre, Persicaria amphibia var. terrestris (Leyss.) Munshi & Javeid, harvested during flowering in the Voronezh region. The study of samples by scanning electron microscopy was carried out on an electron microscope JSM-6510LV (Center for Collective Use of Voronezh State University).Results and discussion. With the help of scanning electron microscopy, morphological and anatomical signs of leaf plates of six species of the genus Persicaria were investigated and new diagnostic signs were identified. As a result of micro-X-RAY analysis, the content of some elements (potassium, calcium and magnesium) was established in the objects of study.Conclusion. For the first time to analyze the surface morphology of the leaf plate of species of the genus Persicaria Mill. the method of scanning electron microscopy is used. The features of the stomatal apparatus, trichomes and glands on the leaves of the studied species of Persicaria are clarified. With the help of micro-roentgenstructural analysis it was found, that a greater amount of magnesium is typical for the leaves of Persicaria mínor, calcium – for the leaves of Persicaria hydropiper, and potassium – for the leaves of Persicaria maculosa.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
