Authors surveyed the ground water near the waste disposed from a fiberglass production factory to confirm the presence of glassfiber in the water and to determine the effect of sampling conditions and storage on the recovery of fibrous materials in the ground water. Sample was collected at every 4 hours for 48 hours consecutively. After finishing the 48 hours sample, water sampling was done from each tap after repeated turning on and off the water for 30 seconds at each time. Sample was collected in the two 1.5 liter polyethylene bottle after vigorously shaking the bottle with the same water several times with the flowing tap water. At each paired sample, one bottle was stored stand still at room temperature, and the other sample was filtered immediately after sampling. Water was filtered on the Mixed Cellulose Ester filter with negative pressure. Each sample was divided into upper and lower layer. The other bottle was stored at room temperature standstill for 7 days and filtered in the same fashion as the other pair of sample did. Each MCE filter was divided into 4 pieces and one piece was treated with acetone to make it transparent. Each prepared sample was observed by two researchers under the light and polarizing microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ra microanalysis. Fibers were classified by the morphology and polarizing pattern under the polarizing microscope, and count was done. 1. There was a significant fluctuation in number of the fibers, but there was no specific demonstrable pattern. 2. Non-polarizing fibers frequently disappeared after 7 days's storage. But cluster of fibers were found at the wall of the same container by scratching technique. 3. Polarizing fibers were usually found in between the filter and the manicure pasted area. Possible explanations for this phenomenon will be that either these fibers are very light or have electronic polarity. Hence, these fibers are not able to be attached on the surface of slide glass. 4. Under the scanning electron microscopic examination, the fibers which are not refractive under the light microscopy were identified as glassfiber. Other fibers which is refractive under the polarizing microscopy were identified as magnesium silicate fibers. It is strongly suggested that development of standardized method of sample collection and measurement of fibrous material in the water is needed.

Crystallization behaviour of blends of different MFI isotactic polypropylenes (PP), and blends of PP with carbon nanofibre have been investigated by DSC and polarizing optical microscope. Both higher MFI PP component and the carbon nanofibre in the blend influence the nucleation activity of the melt during non-isothermal crystallization. In presence of carbon nanofibre, the sherulitic growth rate is highly disturbed. The calculation of nucleation activity indicates that carbon nanofibres act as active substrate for heterogeneous nucleation.

New liquid crystalline Y-shaped molecules containing 1,3,4-oxadizoles have been synthesized with variation of terminal groups (R = H, $OCH_3$ or $OC_8H_{17}$). The structures of obtained compounds were identified by FT/IR and NMR spectrometry, and their thermal and liquid crystalline properties were investigated by DSC and polarizing optical microscope.

A series of compounds were synthesized that contain varying number of mesogenic units, 4-n-butylazobenzene moiety, attached to the central benzene ring through ester bond. These compounds were subjected to thermal analysis on a differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) and also on a polarizing microscope. It was found from this study that the presence of mesogenic units in a multi-mesogenic compound does not guarantee for the compound to become mesomorphic and that the linear molecular shape is conducive to form a liquid crystalline phase.

Recently, injection molding process became more popular than ever to produce large quantities of high precision products. Extensive studies have been conducted for reducing the residual stresses and birefringence in injection-molded optical products. Flow-induced and thermally-induced stresses and birefringence have been found as two main sources during injection molding process. Generally, quantitative value of birefringence can be measured with polarizing microscope using the compensator. However, it is difficult to measure low order retardation with microscope, so developing a measurement system for low order optical path difference is in need. In the present paper, a system using Photo Elastic Modulator (PEM) is demonstrated to measure low phase retardation in injection-molded products.

The Daehyun sericite deposit in socheon-myun, Bongwha-gun, Kyungsangbuk-do, Korea, has been formed by the hydrothermal alteration of the Hongjesa granite of Precambrian age, leaving the muscovite granite between ore body and the Hongjesa granite as the wall rock alteration zone. The process of sericitization of granitic rock as well as chemistry and structures of sericites were studied using polarizing microscope, X-ray diffractometer (XRD), electron probe microanalyzer (EPMA) and high resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM). There are two genetic types of sericites having different chemistry and structure. The early sericite is of 2M1 polytype and has octahedral composition close to muscovite. It has been formed from the primary muscovite, tourmaline and quartz under a relatively high temperature. The late sericite is of 1M, 2M1 and 3T polytypes and has phengitic composition. It has been formed form feldspar, biotite, muscovite and tourmaline under a relatively low temperature. Chemical analyses show t, the early sericite has less Mg+FeT content and lower Si/AlIV ratio in tetrahedral site than the late sericite.

Textures of claystones of the Cheonunsan Formation in the Hwasoon area have been studied using optical microscope and electron microprobe. Microscopic images were observed under the optical microscope using the transmitted polarizing light from thin sections and under the electron microprobe using the back-scattered electron beam from the polished sections. Identification of minerals were made using X-ray diffraction analysis and chemical analysis by electon microprobe. Textural analyses show that the original sedimentary claystones rich in aluminium were subjected to metamorphism by which they changed to the metamorphosed claystone consisting mainly of chloritoid, quartz, andalusite and illite. Later intensive hydrothermal kaolinization of this metamorhosed claystones resulted in the formation of high-aluminous claystones rich in kaolinite exhibiting various complicated replacement textures.

방향족 Schiff base 메소제닉 단위와 폴리메틸렌 유연격자로 이루어진 한 계열의 주사슬 액정중합체와 네 계열 화합물의 액정성을 살펴보았다. 이들의 열적 성질과 액정성은 시차 주사 열분석기와 가열판이 부착된 편광현미경에 의하여 조사하였다. 중합체와 화합물 액정상의 성질은 중앙 폴리메틸렌 유연격자와 말단 알콕시기의 길이에 크게 의존하였다. 중합체 I과 계열 III 화합물은 녹는점과 등방성액체화 전이온도에서 짝수-홀수 효과를 보여 주었으나 계열 II와 IV 화합물은 등방성액체화 전이온도에서만 짝수-홀수 효과를 나타내었다. 편광현미경을 통하여 이들의 광학구조를 관찰하였을 때 네마틱과 스멕틱 액정상을 형성하였다.

Objectives: Periapical lesions, including periapical cyst (PC), periapical granuloma (PG), and periapical abscess (PA), are frequently affected by chemical/physical damage during root canal treatment or severe bacterial infection, and thus, the differential diagnosis of periapical lesions may be difficult due to the presence of severe inflammatory reaction. The aim of this study was to make differential diagnosis among PC, PG, and PA under polarizing microscope. Materials and Methods: The collagen birefringence patterns of 319 cases of PC (n = 122), PG (n = 158), and PA (n = 39) obtained using a polarizing microscope were compared. In addition, 6 cases of periodontal fibroma (PF) were used as positive controls. Results: Collagen birefringence was condensed with a thick, linear band-like pattern in PC, but was short and irregularly scattered in PG, and scarce or absent in PA. PF showed intense collagen birefringence with a short, palisading pattern but no continuous band-like pattern. The linear band-like birefringence in PC was ascribed to pre-existing expansile tensile stress of the cyst wall. Conclusions: In this study all PCs (n = 122) were distinguishable from PGs and PAs by their characteristic birefringence, despite the absence of lining epithelium (n = 20). Therefore, the authors suggest that the presence of linear band-like collagen birefringence of the cyst wall aids the diagnostic differentiation of PC from PG and PA.
