Whereas the beta form had been identified in 1845, [3] α-PbO 2 was first identified in 1946 and found as a naturally occurring mineral 1988. [ 4 ] The alpha form has orthorhombic symmetry, space group Pbcn (No. 60), Pearson symbol oP 12, lattice constants a = 0.497 nm, b = 0.596 nm, c = 0.544 nm, Z = 4 (four formula units per unit cell).

Scrutinyite / ˈ s k r uː t ɪ n i. aɪ t / is a rare oxide mineral and is the alpha crystalline form of lead dioxide (α-PbO 2), plattnerite being the other, beta form. The mineral was first reported in 1988 and its name reflects the scrutiny and efforts required to identify it from a very limited amount of available sample material.
Lead(II) oxide, also called lead monoxide, is the inorganic compound with the molecular formula Pb O.It occurs in two polymorphs: litharge having a tetragonal crystal structure, and massicot having an orthorhombic crystal structure.
The cell on the left is going through mitosis and its chromosomes have condensed. Cell nucleus: A cell's information center, the cell nucleus is the most conspicuous organelle found in a eukaryotic cell. It houses the cell's chromosomes, and is the place where almost all DNA replication and RNA synthesis (transcription) occur.
A peroxisome (/ p ə ˈ r ɒ k s ɪ ˌ s oʊ m /) [1] is a membrane-bound organelle, a type of microbody, found in the cytoplasm of virtually all eukaryotic cells. [2] [3] Peroxisomes are oxidative organelles. Frequently, molecular oxygen serves as a co-substrate, from which hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2) is then formed. Peroxisomes owe their name ...
Degeneration of the beta cell as diabetes progresses has been a broadly reviewed topic. [2] [4] [9] Another topic of interest for beta-cell physiologists is the mechanism of insulin pulsatility which has been well investigated. [41] [42] Many genome studies have been completed and are advancing the knowledge of beta-cell function exponentially.
Protoplasm (/ ˈ p r oʊ t ə ˌ p l æ z əm /; [1] [2] pl. protoplasms) [3] is the part of a cell that is surrounded by a plasma membrane.It is a mixture of small molecules such as ions, monosaccharides, amino acids, and macromolecules such as proteins, polysaccharides, lipids, etc.
A similar cell junction in non-epithelial, non-endothelial cells is the fascia adherens. It is structurally the same, but appears in ribbonlike patterns that do not completely encircle the cells.
