One device used in the setup of one form of this technique uses a scintillator inside of a Faraday cage to prevent backscattering of particles and is named for Everhart and Thornley.
One device used in the setup of one form of this technique uses a scintillator inside of a Faraday cage to prevent backscattering of particles and is named for Everhart and Thornley. This process uses a technique called "sputter coating" in which a gold/palladium alloy or other conducting material covers the sample. In preparing samples for this technique, glutaraldehyde and osmium tetroxide can be used as fixatives. Newer procedures in this technique may use a laser either in place of or addition to a microtome. The sample is placed in liquid nitrogen in the freeze fracture form of this technique, which can be used to study plasma membranes. Coming in scanning and transmission types, for 10 points, name this type of microscopy in which an image is generated by firing its namesake particle at the sample.
