These were fixed by diffusion of the fluid fixative through the agar as well as by its vaporization.
For the isolation of surface film, the bacterial lawn was covered by 2.5% solution of glutaraldehyde without prefixation by diffusion and vaporization.
During the first 3.5 ns, the wire temperature gradually increases up to roughly the vaporization temperature.
The result can be melting or even vaporization of some of the material involved.
The current waveform has a small spike which is due to vaporization in the beginning of discharge, and after an insulation phase, the discharge restarted.
Depending on pulse intensity, three photo-thermal components can be seen: vaporization, melt displacement, and explosive or volumetric melt ejection.
This rather surprisingresult is due to the large heat of vaporization for water.
The laser pulverized the target into a powder of fine fragments 0.1 mm before significant melting or vaporization could occur.
