  2. Rutherford scattering experiments - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rutherford_scattering...

    The atomic weight of gold was known to be around 197 since early in the 19th century. [63] From an experiment in 1906, Rutherford measured alpha particles to have a charge of 2 q e and an atomic weight of 4, and alpha particles emitted by radon to have velocity of 1.70 × 10 7 m/s. [64]

  3. Cell theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_theory

    The cell was first discovered by Robert Hooke in 1665, which can be found to be described in his book Micrographia. In this book, he gave 60 observations in detail of various objects under a coarse, compound microscope. One observation was from very thin slices of bottle cork. Hooke discovered a multitude of tiny pores that he named "cells".

  4. Atomic force microscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_force_microscopy

    An atomic force microscope on the left with controlling computer on the right. Atomic force microscopy [1] (AFM) gathers information by "feeling" or "touching" the surface with a mechanical probe. Piezoelectric elements that facilitate tiny but accurate and precise movements on (electronic) command enable precise scanning.

  5. Crystal structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_structure

    The unit cell is defined as the smallest repeating unit having the full symmetry of the crystal structure. [2] The geometry of the unit cell is defined as a parallelepiped, providing six lattice parameters taken as the lengths of the cell edges (a, b, c) and the angles between them (α, β, γ).

  6. Acetic acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acetic_acid

    Vinegar is typically no less than 4% acetic acid by mass. [64] [65] [66] Legal limits on acetic acid content vary by jurisdiction. Vinegar is used directly as a condiment, and in the pickling of vegetables and other foods. Table vinegar tends to be more diluted (4% to 8% acetic acid), while commercial food pickling employs solutions that are ...

  7. Mass spectrometry imaging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_spectrometry_imaging

    More, this technique is widely regarded as one of the most sensitive forms of mass spectrometry as it can detect elements in concentrations as small as 10 12-10 16 atoms per cubic centimeter. [11] [note 1] [note 2] Multiplexed ion beam imaging (MIBI) is a SIMS method that uses metal isotope labeled antibodies to label compounds in biological ...

  8. Scanning transmission electron microscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scanning_transmission...

    A scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM) is a type of transmission electron microscope (TEM). Pronunciation is [stɛm] or [ɛsti:i:ɛm]. As with a conventional transmission electron microscope (CTEM), images are formed by electrons passing through a sufficiently thin specimen. However, unlike CTEM, in STEM the electron beam is focused ...

  9. Iodine-125 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iodine-125

    Iodine-125 (125 I) is a radioisotope of iodine which has uses in biological assays, nuclear medicine imaging and in radiation therapy as brachytherapy to treat a number of conditions, including prostate cancer, uveal melanomas, and brain tumors.
