About this title

Review

Review of the hardback: 'The subject is treated in a clear and logical fashion ... Dr Reed has produced an excellent and thoroughly readable book ... highly recommended for all those who use the electron microprobe.' Allan Pring, Geological Magazine

Review of the hardback: 'A good introductory level of information on all the main aspects of scanning electron microscopy and microanalysis that is not so readily available anywhere else. The book is well illustrated and written in a clear and readable style ... It is strongly recommended for new users and should have a place in every laboratory. It would make an excellent textbook for introductory courses.' M. T. Styles, Analyst

Review of the hardback: 'This book is a valuable introduction to the use and geological application of scanning electron microscopes and electron microprobes ... by far the most readable of the microscope/microprobe books that I have seen ... It is pitched at the right level for the market at which it is aimed, postgraduate and postdoctoral workers, or geologists in industrial laboratories ... It is a splendid book that should sit on the bookshelf of anybody working with electron microscopes and microprobes, be part of any laboratory and be required reading for any graduate student working with microbeam techniques.' Peter Treloar, Geoscientist

Review of the hardback: ' ...this is a book that has been long overdue, and will certainly go to the top of my students' reading list.' Eric Condliffe, Journal of Petrology

Book Description

This 2005 book forms a comprehensive text on EMPA and SEM for geological postgraduate and postdoctoral researchers, as well as those working in industrial laboratories.
