4 Preface This book has evolved by processes of selection and expansion from its predecessor, Practical Scanning Electron Microscopy (PSEM), published by Plenum Press in The interaction of the authors with students at the Short Course on Scanning Electron Microscopy and X-Ray Microanalysis held annually at Lehigh University has helped greatly in developing this textbook. The material has been chosen to provide a student with a general introduction to the techniques of scanning electron microscopy and x-ray microanalysis suitable for application in such fields as biology, geology, solid state physics, and materials science. Following the format of PSEM, this book gives the student a basic knowledge of (1) the user-controlled functions of the electron optics of the scanning electron microscope and electron microprobe, (2) the characteristics of electron-beam-sample interactions, (3) image formation and interpretation, (4) x-ray spectrometry, and (5) quantitative x-ray microanalysis. Each of these topics has been updated and in most cases expanded over the material presented in PSEM in order to give the reader sufficient coverage to understand these topics and apply the information in the laboratory. Throughout the text, we have attempted to emphasize practical aspects of the techniques, describing those instrument parameters which the microscopist can and must manipulate to obtain optimum information from the specimen. Certain areas in particular have been expanded in response to their increasing importance in the SEM field. Thus energy-dispersive x-ray spectrometry, which has undergone a tremendous surge in growth, is treated in substantial detail. Moreover, we have come to realize the importance of developing careful procedures for qualitative x-ray microanalysis, that is, the identification of the elemental constituents present in a sample; suitable procedures for both energydispersive and wavelength-dispersive x-ray spectrometry are described. v
5 vi PREFACE The most conspicuous addition to the book is the material on biological specimen preparation and coating. Because of the great difficulties in properly preparing a biological sample for SEM examination and analysis, this topic has been considered in detail. It should be recognized that this material is of value not only to biologists, but also to many nonbiological disciplines in which fragile samples, often containing water or other fluids, must be prepared for the SEM. These include polymers, pigments, corrosion products, textiles, and many others. For the convenience of readers who are confronted with a need for numerical information on important parameters for SEM and x-ray microanalysis calculations, we have included a data base of frequently used information, including x-ray energies of principal lines, mass absorption coefficients, backscattering factors, and others. Some material from PSEM has been deleted in preparing this book. Some chapters, including "Contrast Mechanisms of Special Interest in Materials Science" and "Ion Microprobe Mass Analysis," have been removecl The~e tonic~ and several others will be nresented in a comnanion
