Scanning Electron Microscopy and X-ray Microanalysis (Analytical Chemistry by Open Learning)

Provides a practical introduction to the use of scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Covers sample preparation, instrumentation and the more complex area of SEM-X-Ray Microanalysis. Mathematics are kept to a minimum with the emphasis on developing an understanding of the practical aspects of the techniques. The use of self-assessment questions to reinforce the learning process is particularly valuable.
