Inhaltsangabe

This 1993 book gives a comprehensive account of both experimental and theoretical aspects of electron microprobe analysis, and is an extensively updated version of the first edition, which was regarded as a standard work on the subject. The design and operation of the instrument are covered in the first part of the book. Experimental procedures for qualitative and quantitative analysis, using both types of spectrometer, are then discussed.

Über diesen Titel

Críticas

'... well laid out, easy to read ... with ample line diagrams. It provides an excellent introduction to microanalysis, and a reminder of the extent to which the technique has been developed. It should find a home in any laboratory doing serious microanalysis.' Microscopy and Analysis

'... I can strongly recommend this book because of its eminently readable style and because it succeeds on several different levels: it provides general background information, it combines a theoretical base with practical applications, and it is a source of reference from which the analyst can readily sample.' Mineralogical Magazine

'... this is THE textbook on electron microprobe analysis.' LITHOS

' ... well produced and authoritative, it really is indispensable for microanalysts'. Ultramicroscopy

Reseña del editor

This 1993 book gives a comprehensive account of both experimental and theoretical aspects of electron microprobe analysis, and is an extensively updated version of the seminal first edition, published in 1975. The design and operation of the instrument, including the electron column and both wavelength- and energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometers, are covered in the first part of the book. Experimental procedures for qualitative and quantitative analysis, using both types of spectrometer, are then discussed. Matrix ('ZAF') corrections, as required for quantitative analysis, are treated in some detail from both theoretical and practical viewpoints. Special considerations applying to the analysis of 'light' elements (atomic number below 10) are covered in a separate chapter. The emphasis throughout is on a sound understanding of principles and the treatment is applicable equally to the electron microprobe in its 'classical' form and to scanning electron microscopes fitted with X-ray spectrometers.
