Study of various physical and chemical properties such sample morphology, crystalline nature, polymorphism, desolvation, miscibility, melting, solid state transitions and incompatibility between various pharmaceutical compounds can be carried out using HSM. HSM is also widely used to screen cocrystals, excipients and polymers for solid dispersions.

Myofibrils are divided into distinct sarcomeres defined by Z-lines with average length of 2.0?μm, but the distinction between the A-band and the I-bands is not clear due to uniform striations over the length of the sarcomeres.
