Electron microprobe analysis and scanning electron microscopy in geology
Material type: TextLanguage: English Publication details: Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2005 Edition: 2nd edDescription: xiii,189 p. PbkISBN: 9780521142304Subject(s): Petrofabric analysis | Electron probe microanalysis | Scanning electron microscopyDDC classification: 55 Summary: Originally published in 2005, this book covers the closely related techniques of electron microprobe analysis (EMPA) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) specifically from a geological viewpoint. Topics discussed include: principles of electron-target interactions, electron beam instrumentation, X-ray spectrometry, general principles of SEM image formation, production of X-ray 'maps' showing elemental distributions, procedures for qualitative and quantitative X-ray analysis (both energy-dispersive and wavelength-dispersive), the use of both 'true' electron microprobes and SEMs fitted with X-ray spectrometers, and practical matters such as sample preparation and treatment of results. Throughout, there is an emphasis on geological aspects not mentioned in similar books aimed at a more general readership. The book avoids unnecessary technical detail in order to be easily accessible, and forms a comprehensive text on EMPA and SEM for geological postgraduate and postdoctoral researchers, as well as those working in industrial laboratories.Item type | Current library | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode |
