What is the difference between A. Scanning Electron Microscope
(SEM) B. Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) C. Atomic Force
Microscope (AFM). The difference must include the
Principle, Operation, and recent
Applications
Respond to the following:
Explain properties of atomic nuclei.
Explain nuclear stability.
In your own words, explain α-decay, β-decay, and γ-decay, and
give examples.
In your own words, explain nuclear fission and fusion.
An atomic force microscope consists of a cantilever with a very
fine tip on one end. The lever is driven by a piezoelectric motor
allowing the tip to make very fine movements along the surface in
order to scan on an atomic scale. As it scans the surface, what is
the main frictional force between the tip and the surface?
a
rolling
b
static
c
all three
d
kinetic
Compare and contrast the following: (4 marks each, total 20
marks) Scanning electron microscope and confocal microscope Gated
transport channels and carrier proteins – in membranes Tight
junctions and desmosomes Substrate level phosphorylation and
oxidative phosphorylation Non-cyclic and cyclic
photophosphorylation Cell membranes are selective. Explain how the
lipid bilayer determines permeability and selectivity of the
membrane. Describe how microtubules help vesicles move.
Differentiate the fate of proteins made at the rough
endoplasmic reticulum compared to proteins made in the cystol....
Sketch a block diagram of a typical atomic force microscope,
where the sample stage is moved, rather than the cantilever.
Identify the important hardware and electronics components in the
sketch. State the function of the following key components: Laser,
Cantilever, PZT Scanner, Sample Stage, Photodiode, Computer /
Electronics.
Explain these software functions and working on your own
words
In terms of point to point Radio Link device and Networking
1) airOS5
2)Winbox
3)Any software you can recommend for managing radio
link
a) Describe, using a schematic/diagram of your own creation, how
an electron microscope changes from low magnification to high
magnification.
b) Why is it preferable to image a conductive surface in an
SEM?
c) Is the conductivity of the sample as critical in a TEM as it
is in an SEM? Why or why not?
In your own words explain why the force and acceleration vectors
in Uniform Circular Motion point inward. Also discuss the
differences between Centripetal Force and Centrifugal
Force.
