Light-element Analysis in the Transmission Electron Microscope: WEDX and EELS: v. 16 (Royal Microscopical Society Microscopy Handbooks) - Softcover
Synopsis
Emphasizing practical application over theory, this book explains in simple terms the two major techniques by which analysis of very light elements using the transmission electron microscope (TEM) is performed: x-ray analysis without a window (WEDX) and electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS). Readers familiar with the TEM will quickly learn how to analyse for the light elements (boron, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and fluorine). Each technique is first described as it is used for qualitative analysis, and then quantitative analysis is developed. In a final chapter, the two techniques are compared. The book is a practical guide for biologists and for researchers in the medical, physical, and materials sciences.

Synopsis
All types of electron microscope can now be used to deduce the local chemical composition of the specimen. The most recent development in this field is the extension of analysis in the transmission microscope (TEM) to the very light elements (boron, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen and fluorine). There are two major techniques by which this analysis can be performed: X-ray analysis without a window (WEDX) and electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS). This book explains how both of these techniques work and how they should be used. The emphasis is on practical aspects of collecting and interpreting spectra rather than on the fundamental physical background. Each technique is described first as it is used for qualitative analysis and then quantitative analysis is developed. In a final chapter the two techniques are compared.
