Techniques in Electron Microscopy

Catalog description

An introduction to techniques in electron microscopy with a primary emphasis on scanning electron microscopy and X-ray microanalysis. Theoretical background and experimental procedures involve both techniques but the major focus will be on obtaining secondary electron images. Additional coverage will include sample preparation, back-scattered electron imaging, X-ray mapping, and related image processing techniques. May be taught concurrently with MAT 614. Cannot receive credit for both MAT 514 and MAT 614.
