This book has evolved by processes of selection and expansion from
its predecessor, Practical Scanning Electron Microscopy (PSEM),
published by Plenum Press in 1975. 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 inter actions, (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 instru ment 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.
