"Pendahuluan: Perubahan sistem pertahanan pejamu atau kondisi rongga mulut dapat menyebabkan infeksi Candida albicans (C. albicans) yang disebut kandidiasis oral. Xanthorrhizol adalah komponen aktif Temulawak (Curcuma xanthorrhiza Roxb.) yang memiliki efek antijamur. Gambar Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) sel C. albicans yang terpapar xanthorrhizol menunjukkan penonjolan sitoplasma dan adhesi antar sel. Tidak diketahui bagaimana perubahan ultrastruktural pada sel C. albicans. Tujuan: Menggunakan TEM untuk menganalisis perubahan ultrastruktur sel C. albicans pada biofilm fase pematangan pasca-inhibisi dengan Ekstrak Etanol Temulawak (EET). Metode: Biofilm C. albicans ATCC 10231 yang ditumbuhkan pada kawat selama 1,5 jam dihambat dengan 25% EET selama 48 jam. Kelompok kontrol positif tidak diberi nistatin sedangkan kelompok kontrol negatif tidak diberi apa-apa. Sampel difiksasi dengan 2,5% glutaraldehid, didehidrasi dengan etanol, dan dibenamkan dalam resin spurr sebelum diamati dengan TEM. Hasil: Terlihat distorsi dinding sel, membran plasma, dan organel serta invaginasi membran plasma. Kesimpulan: Penghambatan biofilm C. albicans ATCC 10231 oleh 25% EET menyebabkan kerusakan pada ultrastruktur sel C. albicans ATCC 10231.

Changes of hosts defense system or oral condition causing infection of Candida albicans (C. albicans) is called oral candidiasis. Xanthorrhizol is an active component of javanese turmeric (Curcuma xanthorrhiza Roxb.) which has antifungal effect. C. albicans cells Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) image exposed to xanthorrhizol showed cytoplasm protrusion and clumping. The ultrastructure changes inside the C. albicans cell is not known yet. Objective: Using TEM to analyse the ultrastructure image of C. albicans ATCC 10231 cells in maturation phase of biofilm inhibited by 25% EET. Methods: C. albicans ATCC 10231 biofilm which had been cultured on wire for 1.5 hours was inhibited by 25% EET. Group of positive control was exposed by nystatin whereas group of negative control was exposed to nothing. Sampel was being fixated with glutaraldehyde 2.5%, dehydrathed by ethanol, and embedded inside spurrs resin before being observed with TEM. Results: Cell wall, plasma membrane, and organelles distortion, along with plasma membrane invagination. Conclusion: C. albicans ATCC 10231 biofilm inhibition with 25% EET caused damages in C. albicans ATCC 10231 cells ultrastructure."

"This book presents the recent advances that have been made using mathematical methods to resolve problems in microscopy. With improvements in hardware-based aberration software significantly expanding the nanoscale imaging capabilities of scanning transmission electron microscopes (STEM), these mathematical models can replace some labor intensive procedures used to operate and maintain STEMs. This book, will also cover such relevant concepts as superresolution techniques, special denoising methods, application of mathematical/statistical learning theory, and compressed sensing."

"e purpose of this paper was to investigate the performance of ceramic filters made from a mixture of natural clay, rice bran, and iron powder in removing cadmium from pulp industry effluent. Some parameters were examined such as acidity, total dissolved solid (TDS), total suspended solid (TSS), electrical conductivity (EC), and cadmium concentration. Results showed that the composition percentage of the ceramic filter, which in this case amounted to 87.5% natural clay, 10% rice bran, and 2.5% iron powder, may decrease cadmium concentration in pulp industry effluent by up to 99.0%. Furthermore, the permeate flux decreased after 30 minutes of filtration time, and subsequently became constant at one hour of contact time. In addition, Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) micrographs of the ceramic filter surfaces indicate that ceramic filters have a random pore structure and can be categorized as microfiltration filters."
