The scanning capacitance microscope (SCM) probe, a sharp tip, is a potential centre at which condensation of water vapour from the ambient atmosphere may occur. The water droplet, held by capillary forces, may connect the tip with the imaged surface and modify the local contribution to the tip-to-sa

Abstract
The effects of pressure on the luminal surface of the rabbit aorta were investigated using the scanning electron microscope. The method followed was perfusion under hydrostatic pressure of a section of thoracic aorta, in vitro. The characteristic ridged pattern seen in sections fixed at zero hydrostatic pressure was to a large extent eliminated when fixation occurred at pressures equivalent to those experienced by the aorta at systole or diastole. This study suggests that the spiral ridged pattern is dependent upon the fixation pressure and may not be present in a normally functioning artery. Any attempts to characterize or interpret the appearance of the luminal arterial wall must take into account the effects of pressure.

The lithographic effect of electron beam in line exposures in scanning electron micruicopy (SEM) on poly(methy1 methacrylate) (PMMA) was evaluated using the line width in a film deposited on a silicium substrate and from the line profiles in a PMMA plate. It was found that the effect of the dose on
## Abstract The influence of mica surface on DNA/ethidium bromide interactions is investigated by atomic force microscopy (AFM). We describe the diffusion mechanism of a DNA molecule on a mica surface by using a simple analytical model. It appears that the DNA diffusion on a mica surface is limited
The effect of ethylene pressure on the copolymerization of ethylene with 1hexene was studied. The results show an increasing of productivities (g of polymer/ n Zr h) with pressure. This tendency was not observed for the activity (g of polymer/ n Zr h bar) that decreases when pressure is raised. When
