1. If I can quantize the atom using this hyperbolic spiral and classical physics, could nature do the same?

If we map as a continuous motion an ionising electron (beginning its journey at n=1) in an H atom, a specific hyperbolic spiral appears (see animation). When we solve this spiral formula, we find...

Why doesn't chromium 2+ ion use all its d-orbitals to receive lone pairs from six waters in [Cr(H20)6)]3+?

I'm guessing it's because the ligand experiences too much electron repulsion or proton repulsion from the chromium to insert them close to the 3d-orbitals which are close to the metal nucleus. Is...

Salts form crystals, which may overlay your specimen.

Simone Cantamessa

Good morning,

after fixation you have to wash with water before dehydration. without washes, it may happen to observe samples with saline precipitates

best regards

Nicolas Barois

Hello,

following, the link to a previous discussion about PBS/cacodylate buffer in EM:

https://www.researchgate.net/post/Is_cacodylate_buffer_necessary_in_SEM_protocol_or_I_can_remove_it

I agree with Simone Cantamessa, If you use PBS, you need good washes with water to avoid crystals.
