This study investigated the structural changes of folliculus ovarii according to the dose of the X-rays when mice were exposed to X-rays from 6MeV LINAC. The minute structural changes of folliculus ovarii were observed through an electron microscope with high magnification. Nuclei and protoplasm of granular cells in growing folliculus ovarii abruptly underwent minute structural changes according to the increase of dose of X-rays. Cell residue, by-product of cell decease, neutrophil and macrophage around follicular antrum were observed. The minute structural changes in granular cells showed typical characteristics of apoptosis: the increase of electronic density due to nuclear condensation, fragmentation of nuclei, and atrophy of protoplasm. Necrosis of cells was identified, but it was not so remarkable. Macrophage scattered with apoptotic bodies.

The fine structural modification of the granulocytes between the molt and intermolt period were investigated by the transmission electron microscopy. The granular hemocytes of the spider Araneus ventricosus were composed of three subtypes: eosinophilic granulocytes (EGs), basophilic granulocytes (BGs) and cyanocytes. Both of the EGs and BGs have electron dense granules within their cytoplasms, however the granules of BGs are larger than those of EGs. During the molt period, some of the EGs have fine structural modification in their cell organelles including formation of phagosomes as a result of active phagocytosis. However, the BGs have no phagosomes, but electron densities of the granules are changed to lower states than the intermolt period. The cyanocyte is the biggest hemocyte among the granulocytes. They contain numerous hemocyanin crystals in the cytoplasm with some electron-lucent vacuoles. During the molt period, some of the cyanocytes are changed to irregular shapes. High magnification electron micrographs reveal that the lattice sub-structure of the hemocyanin crystals are very similar to those of microtubules, and each tubule is composed of approximately 20 filaments with fine fibrillar structure.

질염 환자의 질분비물 도말에서 광학현미경상에서 고배율로 관찰한 결과 정상 상피세포에서는 질내 정상 pH를 유지하기 위해 무수한 젖산균의 존재를 확인할수 있었다. 그러나 저배율, 고배율의 광학현미경상에서 진균에 감염된 세포 주변에서 젖산균(lactobacilli)은 관찰되지 않았다. 주사전자 현미경 상에서 Candida albicans는 기능을 탈락한 상피세포의 세포질에 기생하며, biofilm의 성장환경을 만들며, budding을 통해 2차 딸세포를 형성하며, 성장과 증식을 끊임없이 반복함을 확인하였다. 성장과 재생이 주기적으로 일어나지 않은 면역력이 약화된 임산부나, 호르몬의 부족으로 인한 위축성 질염 환자는 상피세포층이 떨어지면서 나오는 글리코겐을 이용해 질내에 존재하는 lactobacilli균이 젖산을 풍부하게 만들 수 없으므로 감염증 발생이 더 높아진 것으로 사료된다.

In this study, we observed the shapes of CNTs formed with the thinckness of catalyst. Catalyst layer was grown by magnetron sputtering method and the thickness of Ni catalyst is the range from 20 to 80 nm. Also, the synthesis of CNT with Ni catalyst thickness was grown by hot-filament PECVD method. And, we investigated the composition of CNTs by using EDS measurement, also observed the shapes of CNTs by using HRTEM and FESEM measurements. In the result, through the TEM analysis, we observed the empty inside of CNTs and the multiwall CNTs, also confirmed the tip of CNT containing Ni. The composition of CNTs are consisted of an element of C, Ti, and Ni. As you shown the growth shapes of CNTs, the pretreatment of the catalyst before te growth of CNTs changed the particle size of the catalysts and grown the CNTs of the different shapes. Consequently, the best vertically alined and well-arranged CNTs exhibited from the substrate deposited at the catalyst thickness of 40 nm.

Histopathological and fine structural changes in mouse skin after injection of venoms extracted from the venom glands of the honeybee, Apis mellifera, were studied with light and electron microscopes. At this experiment the venoms were directly injected at the hairless abdominal skin of the mouse through the sting of the bee's venomous organ. Main changes appeared within one hour after injection at both epithelial and connective tissues as considerable hyperemia and angioedema, and slight edema and fibrosis. High magnified electron micrographs reveal not only increase of diameter but also deposition of electron dense grains (which seems to be an auto immunoglobulin) at the collagenous fibers characteristically. This kinds of histological and fine structural responses were diminished from 12 hour after injection, and the pathological symptoms disappeared within 3 days at most cases. So, the skin responses induced by honeybee venom seem to be not severe compare to other cases reported by other venomous arthropods.

To improve functional properties of food proteins, homologous or heterologous ${\beta}-casein$ and 11S globulin(glycinin) from animal and vegetable proteins, respectively, were bio-hybridized using transglutaminase(MTGase). Susceptibility was confirmed by SDS-PAGE, particle size analyzed, and emulsion stability tested using Reddy and Fogler method, To determine how bio-hybridized protein influences emulsion stability, protein bound on oil droplet was investigated using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). formation of bio-hybridized protein band was detected among homologous and heterologous proteins, with heterologous protein forming weak band in oligomer form. Homologous ${\beta}-casein$ protein showed high emulsion stability, while homologous glycinin showed almost no stability. Stability of heterologous ${\beta}-casein$ and glycinin protein was higher than that of glycinin. SEM photographs showed even distribution of bio-hybridized proteins on oil droplet improved stability.

The fine structural characteristics of the spinnerets and spigots of the silk producing apparatus in the adult funnel-web spider, Agelena limbata, were analysed with the light and scanning electron microscopes. Silk producing apparatus of this spider was composed of three pairs of spinnerets (anterior, median, posterior) and four different types of spigots-ampullates, tubuliforms, pyriforms and aciniforms. By the examination of their ultrastructural characteristics, it has been revealed that each spigot on the spinnerets are connected through the typical silk gland within abdominal cavity. Among the three pairs of spinnerets, the posterior pairs were highly elongated and has most characteristic features. Two pairs of large ampullates were connected to anterior spinneret and another two pairs of small ampullates to median spinnerets. Spigots of the tubuliforms were observed only in female and were connected both of median and posterior spinnerets respectively. While spigots of the pyriforms were connected on the anterior spinnerets but aciniforms on both of median and posterior spinnerets respectively.

Hemocytes of the spider Araneus ventricosus were investigated with histochemistry, density analysis of percoll gradient, and fine structural examinations using transmission electron microscope. The hemocytes of this spider were classified into two major groups: granulocytes and non-granulocytes. The granular hemocytes were subdivided into three subtypes according to their histochemical properties which are eosinophilic granuloctes(EGs), basophilic granulocytes(BGs) and cyanocytes. The EGs, which have small granules within the cytoplasm comprise about 5% of the total henocytes. However the granules of BGs are larger than those of HGs. The cyanocytes were characterized to contain hemocyanin granules in their cytoplasm. On the other hand, the non-granulocytes were divided into three subtypes; hyaline leucocytes, oenocytoids, and molting homocytes. The hyaline leucocytes are the most abundant and the smallest hemocyte type in this spider. The oenocytoids that have $10{\sim}15{\mu}m$ in diameter are mostly found at the marginal region of the myocardium in the heart tube. The molting hemocytes, which only appeared during the molting period, contains plenty of glycogen particles in their cytoplasm.

To acquire images in a thermionic-scanning electron-beam system, a scanning unit is needed to control the electron beam emitted from the tungsten filament source. In scanning the electron beam on the solid surface, the signalto-noise ratio depends on the scanning frequency. We used a digital filter to reduce noise by analyzing the real-time frequency of a secondary electron signal. The noise and the true image signal were well separated. We designed the digital filter via a DSP floating-point operation, and the noise elimination resulted in enhanced image quality in a highresolution mode.
