Record 1 2010-03-02

English

Subject field(s)
  • Plastics Manufacturing
  • Medical and Surgical Equipment
DEF

A cast which is produced by injecting a hollow organ with plastic, allowing it to polymerize and then corroding the surrounding tissue, and which is used to prepare specimens for scanning electron microscopes. [Source: Cell and Tissue Research, 1984.]

CONT

Table I shows some example measurement made from corrosion casts from rat heart and hamster lung under several different conditions..... While the primary application of vascular corrosion casting has been and likely will remain in the elucidation of the 3-dimensional distribution of vessels in tissue and organs, high quality casts also yield valuable quantitative information about that vasculature.... the corrosion casting method [can] be used to describe or measure the internal volume of any hollow or porous structure or material as long as methods are available to remove the surrounding material and leave the cast intact.

CONT

Kidney glomerulus corrosion cast scanned with confocal microscope.

OBS

Incorporation of marker substances in the casting resin (e.g. isotopes, heavy metals, electron dense materials, photosensitive materials, or fluorescent substances) to enhance quantitative measurements are also being considered in some laboratories.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Aluminum
CONT

The designation "wrought", applied to certain aluminum alloys, indicate that the allow are available in the form of worked products such as sheet, foil, plate, extrusions, tube, forgings, ore, bar, and wire. Working operations and thermal treatments transform cast ingot into a completely recrystallized or severely fragmented structure, characteristic for each alloy and product, which influences strength, resistance to corrosion, and other properties.
