This book introduces the use of electron microscopy in mineralogical research, emphasizing microstructure analysis of minerals and rocks. It covers transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and includes emerging applications of scanning electron microscopy (SEM), serving both as an introductory text and a reference for advanced study.
This book provides a comprehensive guide to fixation techniques used in electron microscopy. It covers preparation methods for biological specimens, preservation of ultrastructure, and practical laboratory procedures essential for high-resolution imaging.
This compendium addresses a wide array of advanced electron microscopy and ultrastructural techniques applicable to microorganisms. Included chapters cover: Specimen preparation (fixation, embedding, sectioning) by Aldrich & Mollenhauer Scanning electron microscopy for fungi and bacteria Freeze-fracture and low-temperature embedding Computer-aided serial section reconstruction Cy…
