- Thermally Induced alpha-Helix to beta-Sheet Transition in
Regenerated Silk Fibers and
Films
Can be found
here
- High-Resolution Electron Microscopy of Montmorillonite and
Montmorillonite/Epoxy
Nanocomposites
Can be found
here
Some of the research being
done at AFRL began at the
University of Michigan
where
Dr. David Martin’s
lab was a beta site for the
LVEM5 and where Larry Drummy
- currently at AFRL -
was introduced to the LVEM5.
Milestones achieved at the University of Michigan
include the first unstained
images of dendrimers, thin
films, block copolymers,
nanoparticles and nanofibers.
Here is one of the papers
authored by Dave and Larry
that draws considerably on
LVEM5 results:
- Low-voltage electron microscopy of polymer and organic
molecular thin films

The Scripps Research
Institute (TSRI),
La Jolla,
California:
Originally acquired for the observation of the aggregation state of
membrane protein
solutions, the LVEM5
at Scripps is moving
into anew hom e- a
BSL 3 facility (Biosafety
Level 3). Stay tune
for updates on this
exciting
application.

The Georgia Institute
of
Technology, Atlanta, Georgia
The LVEM5 in the Emory/Georgia Tech Biomedical Technology Center is
used by a number of research
groups for bith TEM and SEM
capabilities. Stay tuned for
more results from this
ambitious group of
researchers.

LVEM5 in Georgia Tech
A second unit is installed in Professor David Bucknall’s lab.
Professor Bucknall’s areas
of specialization are:
Polymer interfaces and
surfaces, functionalised
polymers, polymer molecular
architecture, polyrotaxanes,
self-assembling structures,
neutron scattering and
reflectivity, thin films,
polymer soft lithography and
nanopatterning, field
effects on polymers,
polymer-plasticiser
diffusion and other
diffusion processes,
biomolecular layers at
surfaces, industrial inkjet
(digital) printing, fluid
wetting behaviour,
microfluidics

The National Institute of
Standards and Technology
(NIST), Gaithersburg, Maryland
At
NIST, the LVEM5 is used in
the Polymers Division (http://polymers.msel.nist.gov/index.cfm)
to image a broad variety of
materials in TEM and
scanning modes.
The University of Tennessee,
Knoxville, Tennessee
At the
University of Tennessee
the LVEM5 is used in the
Chemistry department to
image materials of various
nature in both TEM and SEM
mode.

FREQUENTLY – THERE ARE NEW
UNITS INSTALLED ALL THE TIME
AND WE WILL KEEP YOU UP TO
DATE ON WHAT LVEM USERS ARE
DOING WITH THEIR UNITS…
