During the last four decades remarkable developments have taken place in instrumentation and techniques for characterizing the microstructure and microcomposition of materials. Some of the most important of these instruments involve the use of electron beams because of the wealth of information that can be obtained from the interaction of electron beams with matter. The principal instruments include the scanning electron microscope, electron probe x-ray microanalyzer, and the analytical transmission electron microscope. The training of students to use these instruments and to apply the new techniques that are possible with them is an important function, which. has been carried out by formal classes in universities and colleges and by special summer courses such as the ones offered for the past 19 years at Lehigh University. Laboratory work, which should be an integral part of such courses, is often hindered by the lack of a suitable laboratory workbook. While laboratory workbooks for transmission electron microscopy have-been in existence for many years, the broad range of topics that must be dealt with in scanning electron microscopy and microanalysis has made it difficult for instructors to devise meaningful experiments. The present workbook provides a series of fundamental experiments to aid in "hands-on" learning of the use of the instrumentation and the techniques. It is written by a group of eminently qualified scientists and educators. The importance of hands-on learning cannot be overemphasized.
(Ryder and Bowen, 1974.) from the bulk of the sample matrix. For example the Alcian blue stain for mucin contains copper, sulfur and chlorine, all of which are readily detected by x-ray microanalysis. Ryder and Bowen (1974) have ...

This book has its origins in the intensive short courses on scanning elec tron microscopy and x-ray microanalysis which have been taught annually at Lehigh University since 1972.
This Handbook is a complete guide to preparing a wide variety of specimens for the scanning electron microscope and x-ray microanalyzers.
For example, the topics in this book, even though very broad, are still far from a complete description of what many call AEM.
In the spring of 1963, a well-known research institute made a market survey to assess how many scanning electron microscopes might be sold in the United States.
This practical introduction to the use of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) covers in detail instrumentation, sample preparation, and X-ray microanalysis and instrumentation.
Scanning Electron Microscopy provides a description of the physics of electron-probe formation and of electron-specimen interactions.
