Kurzbeschreibung
Containing clear, concise explanations, Principles and Practice of Variable Pressure Scanning Electron Microscopy (VPSEM) provides a simple starting point to the subject, which is especially useful for new users, technicians, and students. Published in association with the Royal Microscopical Society (RMS), the book presents information in a manner that allows readers to turn principles into practice, making it a relevant resource for those in academic institutions and a wide range of related industry segments where scanning electron microscopy is used.
Von ausführlichen Literaturhinweisen über die technischen Voraussetzungen der Rasterelektronentunnelmikroskopie geht der Text zur Beschreibung der Objektvorbereitung über. Die Kapitel im Hauptteil behandeln das Thema aus jeweils verschiedenen Fachgebieten: Physik, Materialwissenschaft, Biowissenschaften, industrielle Produktion von Lebensmitteln oder Kosmetika. Auch interdisziplinäre Ansätze werden beleuchtet.
