X-Ray Microanalysis in Electron Microscopy for Biologists

by Kenneth O. Morgan and A. John Morgan

This compact guide provides a straightforward introduction to electron microprobe x-ray analysis, a nondestructive technique that greatly facilitates the study of the chemistry of cells. Assuming no prior knowledge of electron optics, Morgan explains the principle of x-ray production and detection, describes the various methods for converting measured x-ray intensities to element concentrations in thin specimens, and directs the reader to primary...
