Abstract. Scanning electronic microscope JSM-5300 (JEOL, Japan) has been used to investigate the structure of the PES fibres upper layers. Preparation of samples was performed by placing them on an aluminium support, with a glue or double-sided adhesive tape. The tool for spreading the conductive layer on the sample' s surface, used in this work, was JFC-1100E ION SPUTTER (JEOL Co., Japan). Potential difference of electron acceleration was 30 kV, and multiplication of the samples was 3500 times. ORWO NP 20 DIN films were used for taking the photos. The samples were dyed with C.I.D. Yellow 23, in concentration of 1%, at pH = 4.5, with the following acids added: acetic, formic and oxalic. The results show absence of any internal damage in fiber structure. On the surface however, groups of particles have been observed, varying in shape, magnitude and spacing density. Organic (acetic, formic and oxalic) acids used in the experiments caused differences in upper layers structures of dyed PES fibres. This is the main reason to induce differences in colour (DE), chromaticity (DH) and lightness (DL), among the samples (with the all acids included) and a standard (addition of acetic acid only).
Key words: octacet yellow E-L5R, polyester fibre, scanning electronic microscopy, surface structure, upper layers

PRIMENA SKENIRAJUĆE ELEKTRONSKE MIKROSKOPIJE-PROUČAVANJE POVRŠINSKIH STRUKTURA GORNJIH SLOJEVA OBOJENIH POLIESTARSKIH VLAKANA U BOJI OCTATET ŽUTOJ E-5LR
Skenirajući elektronski mikroskop JSM-5300 (JEOL, Japan) je korišćen za ispitivanje strukture gornjih slojeva poliestarskih vlakana. Priprema uzoraka je izvršena postavljanjem istih na osnovu od aluminijuma, pomoću lepka ili obostrano lepljive trake. Sredstvo za širenje provodnog sloja na površini uzorka, korišćeno u ovom radu je JFC-1100E ION SPUTTER (JEOL Co., Japan). Razlika potencijala elektronske akceleracije bila je 30 kV, a uvećanje uzoraka 3500 puta. ORWO NP 20 DIN filmovi su korišćeni za izradu fotografija. Uzorci su obojeni žutom bojom C.I.D. Yellow 23, koncentracije 1%, pri pH = 4.5 uz dodatak sledećih kiselina: acetatne, formijatne i oksalatne. Rezultati pokazuju odsustvo bilo kojeg unutrašnjeg oštećenja u strukturi vlakna. Medjutim, na površini su uočene grupe čestica, koje varijaju po obliku, magnitudi i prostornoj zastupljenosti. Organske kiseline (acetatna, formijatna i oksalna), koje su korišćene u eksperimentima, izazvale su razlike u gornjim slojevima struktura obojenih poliestarskih vlakana. Ovo je glavni razlog za indukciju razlika u boji (DE), hromatičnosti (DH) i svetline (DL), izmedju uzoraka (uključujući sve dodate kiseline) i standarda (gde je dodata samo acetatna kiselina).
