전자현미경은 전자빔을 이용하여 나노 수준의 분해능으로 초미세 구조물을 관찰할 수 있는 측정 장치이다. 이러한 전자를 소스로 사용하는 현미경에서 전자총의 특성을 파악하는 것은 전자현미경의 광학계를 설계하거나 그 성능을 평가할 때 매우 중요하다. 본 연구에서 제작한 전자총 평가 시스템은 전자총의 특성인 각전류밀도와 가상 전자원 크기를 측정할 수 있다. 이러한 특성을 정확하게 도출하기 위해서는 우선 가상 전자원의 위치를 알아야 한다. 전자총 평가 시스템은 전자총에서 방출된 전자빔을 형광 스크린에 조사하여 전자빔을 가시광선으로 변환하고, 형광 스크린 반대편에서 광학 현미경 렌즈가 장착된 카메라를 이용하여 빛으로 변환된 전자빔을 촬영하여 영상으로 획득 할 수 있다. 본 발표는 이렇게 획득한 영상에서 MathWorks(R)사의 MATLAB(R) 소프트웨어를 이용하여 물리적인 거리를 도출하기 위하여 사용하는 영상처리기법을 소개한다. 사용한 영상처리는 픽셀을 기반으로 계산하였으며, 취득 영상의 잡음을 제거하는 방법, 형광 스크린에서 획득한 전자빔에서 전자빔의 중심점 찾는 방법 및 이동한 전자빔의 거리를 계산하는 방법 등이 있다.

Total reflection X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy using synchrotron radiation source called as TRSFA was explored to achieve high sensitivities to impurity metals on Si wafer surface. It consists of monochromating part to select a specific wavelength, slit part to shield direct beam and to control monochromated beam, and main chamber to dectect fluorescent X-ray counts of impurities on si wafer. Monochromated X-ray of 10.90 KeV was selected and the optimum total reflection condition on silicon wafer was obtained through tuning the dead time and fluorescent X-ray count of Si and Fe. TRSFA system could increase the sensitivity as high as 50 times in comparision with TRXFA using normal X-ray source. But the trend was varied since the surface conditions of Si wafers and, therefore, the reflectivities were different. Furthemore, there seems to be a promising path to reaching a detection limit useful to the next generation metal impurities control, because Fe impurity below to the $5\times10^{9}\textrm{atomas/cm}^2$ can be detectable through the developed TRSFA system.

In order to evaluate stored apple pollen viability, in vitro germination test was performed on a microscope slide coated with the culture medium containing fluorescein diacetate (FDA). However, the inclusion of FDA to the culture medium declined pollen germination. Alternatively, the fluorochromatic reaction procedure was tested. The procedure involved dusting pollen grains onto drops of 10% sucrose solution containing 0.002% FDA and allowing them to accumulate fluorescein. Within 30 min after the fluorochromatic reaction, viable pollen grains clearly fluoresced under ultraviolet light. Both the in vitro germination test and the fluorochromatic reaction procedure revealed that stored apple pollen viability was not considerably decreased over storage up to at least 39 months. Of the cultivars examined by both methods, 'Fuji' and 'Senshu' pollen viability was highest, 'Tsugaru' was intermediate, and 'Jonagold' was lowest. The fluorescing percentages appeared approximately comparable to the germination percentages except for the 'Senshu' pollens stored for 3 months, although the fluorescing percentages was slightly higher than the germination percentages. Strong and highly significant correlations were found between the two methods. It can thus be concluded that the fluorochromatic reaction procedure provides a convenient and reliable evaluation of stored apple pollen viability.

This study was conducted to examine the effect of artificial light source and photoperiod on the growth of leaf lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) 'Seonhong Jeokchukmyeon' in a closed-type plant production system. Seedlings were grown under 3 light sources, fluorescent lamp (FL, Philips Co. Ltd., the Netherlands), WL #1 (Hepas Co. Ltd., Korea), and WL #2 (FC Poibe Co., Ltd., Korea), each with 3 photoperiods, 12/12, 18/6, and 24/0 (Light/Dark). An irradiance spectrum analysis showed that FL has various peaks in the 400-700 nm range, while WL #1 and WL #2 have only one monochromatic peak at 450 and 550 nm, respectively. The greatest plant height, fresh and dry weights were obtained in the 24/0 (Light/Dark) photoperiod. The 24/0 (Light/Dark) photoperiod treatment promoted vegetative growth of the leaf area. Length of the longest root, number of leaves, fresh weight, and total anthocyanin contents were greater in FL than in either WL #1 or #2. The greatest chlorophyll fluorescence (Fv/Fm) was found in the 12/12 (Light/Dark) photoperiod with FL treatment. The energy use efficiency of the LED increased by about 35-46% as compared to FL. Results suggest a possibility of LED being used as a substitute light source for fluorescent lamp for lettuce cultivation in a plant factory system.

ZnS:Mn 나노입자가 포함된 PVP 고분자 하이브리드 나노사를 전기방사법으로 제작하였다. 하이브리드 나노사의 표면 특성은 주사 전자 현미경으로 관측하였으며, 형광분광광도계와 공초점 주사현미경 (CLSM)을 이용하여 하이브리드 나노사의 발광특성을 조사하였다. 순수한 PVP 나노사와 하이브리드 나노사의 photoluminescence (PL) 스펙트럼 비교를 통하여, 586 nm에서 관찰된 PL 피크는 ZnS:Mn 나노입자에서 기인되었음을 알 수 있었으며, CLSM을 이용하여 ZnS:Mn 나노입자의 발광을 이미지화 하였다.

Panasonic UD-809P type albedo neutron TL dosimeters mounted on a water phantom were used to measure neutron personal dose equivalent in a Korean nuclear power plant. From the measured TL readings, personal dose equivalents from thermal, epithermal and fast neutrons were evaluated by using a method adopted in a neutron dose calculation algorithm for Panasonic UD-809P type albedo neutron TL dosimeters, which was suggested in a Panasonic TLD System User's Manual. The results showed that personal dose equivalent from fast neutrons could not be adequately evaluated in a field with high thermal neutron fraction to be encountered in a nuclear power plant. This seems to be related to the incomplete incidence of albedo thermal neutrons to the TL dosimeters. In order to evaluate appropriately the personal dose equivalent from fast neutrons in the field condition, new method fer the neutron dose calculation algorithm was suggested. In this new method, neutrons are grouped into thermal neutrons and fast neutrons. For each neutron component, equations for TL response, sensitivity factor, calibration factor and personal dose equivalent were derived.

Purpose: Dual reporter gene imaging has several advantages for more sophisticated molecular imaging studies such as gene therapy monitoring. Herein, we have constructed hepatoma cell line expressing dual reporter genes of sodium iodide symporter (NIS) and enhanced green fluorescence protein (EGFP), and the functionalities of the genes were evaluated in vivo by nuclear and optical imaging. Materials and Methods: A pRetro-PN vector was constructed after separating NIS gene from pcDNA-NIS. RSV-EGFP-WPRE fragment separated from pLNRGW was cloned into pRetro-PN vector. The final vector expressing dual reporter genes was named pRetro-PNRGW. A human hepatoma (HepG2) cells were transfected by the retrovirus containing NIS and EGFP gene (HepG2-NE). Expression of NIS gene was confirmed by RT-PCR, radioiodine uptake and efflux studies. Expression of EGFP was confirmed by RT-PCR and fluorescence microscope. The HepG2 and HepG2-NE cells were implanted in shoulder and hindlimb of nude mice, then fluorescence image, gamma camera image and I-124 microPET image were undertaken. Results: The HepG2-NE cell was successfully constructed. RT-PCR showed NIS and EGFP mRNA expression. About 50% of cells showed fluorescence. The iodine uptake of NIS-expressed cells was about 9 times higher than control. In efflux study, $T_{1/2}$ of HepG2-NE cells was 9 min. HepG2-NE xenograft showed high signal-to-background fluorescent spots and higher iodine-uptake compared to those of HepG2 xenograft. Conclusion: A hepatoma cell line expressing NIS and EGFP dual reporter genes was successfully constructed and could be used as a potential either by therapeutic gene or imaging reporter gene.
