Microscopy and Histology for Molecular Biologists: A User’s Guide
JA Kiernan and I Mason, editors, 2002, 400pp,
Research workers in biochemistry, cell biology, developmental biology, immunology, molecular biology, and neuroscience frequently need to examine cells or tissues microscopically. Unfortunately, many of them lack the appropriate education and technical training that are needed to use even the simplest microscope properly. The principles that govern the preparation of specimens also are commonly not known or badly misunderstood. |
|||||||||||||||
|
Microscopy and Histology for Molecular Biologists: A User's Guide informs research workers
how to prepare cells and tissues for examination by traditional and modern types of light
microscopy, and how to obtain and analyze images. The authors provide reasoned accounts of
mechanisms and procedures, with selected references to original sources, review articles and
textbooks. In addition, detailed technical instructions are provided for many important and
frequently used methods. The theoretical background is also presented in sufficient detail to
allow intelligent modification of these techniques to suit particular investigations and to
solve unexpected problems.
Chapters begin with an explanation of the method (or group of methods), including how it works and, why to use it and when. This is followed by detailed technical instructions, including troubleshooting advice. Contents:
The chapters are written by experts in their own fields (histochemistry, histotechnology or microscopy) for readers who are (or aspire to be) experts in biological or biochemical research.
Readership:
Reviews:
"We strongly recommend this book as a valuable reference for molecular biologists
or biochemists interested in learning about the broad application of histology and microscopy.
Even experienced microscopists will find useful, practical information." |

Microscopic X-Ray Fluorescence Analysis
Koen H. A. Janssens (Editor), Freddy C. V. Adams (Editor), Anders Rindby (Editor), ISBN: 0-471-97426-9, Hardcover, 434 pages, June 2000 In the last 10 - 15 years many analytical advances in X-ray fluorescence analysis (XRF) have taken place, giving rise to non-destructive ultrasensitive surface analyses of materials. One of the variants of XRF developed is micro-XRF (µ-XRF), which is able to analyze the distribution of major, minor and trace elements in microscopic sample surface areas. Due to the availability of commercial instrumentation and the development of simple devices for focusing X-rays, µ-XRF has increased in popularity and is able to fill the gap between bulk X-ray fluorescence and electron probe X-ray microanalysis (EPXMA). |
|||||||||||||||
Microscopic X-ray Fluorescence Analysis is the first single
volume to bring together introductory and advanced information on the essential aspects of the technique,
thereby providing an excellent overview of the developments and applications of µ-XRF. Topics discussed in
the book include:
In addition, the final chapters of the book describe applications of µ-XRF in the geosciences,
in art and archaeology, environmental and biological applications, and the use of µ-XRF for industrial
purposes. Finally an overview is presented of some of the new directions both laboratory and synchrotron
µ-XRF are likely to take in the 21st Century.

Microwave Techniques and Protocols
RT Giberson and RS Demaree, Jr., editors, 2001, 300pp, hardcover, ISBN 0-89603-903-X.
This is the first book to provide detailed protocols from laboratories that integrate
microwave technology as part of their normal routine. The text shows how microwave
processing has evolved into a methodology that greatly reduces processing times without
sacrificing quality, and can be utilized by any laboratory personnel who process samples
for microscopy. This volume includes examples of technicians and investigators using light
microscopy tissue samples in paraffin, plastics, as well as in vitro labeling and immuno
labeling. Also included are cases demonstrating the processing of samples for scanning and
transmission electron microscopy. Microwave Techniques and Protocols sets the trend by
assembling a wide range of detailed protocols that are being used today to improve productivity
and reduce costs. |

interfaces between a sold and a liquid or gas. In the first part, the author gives a concise introduction
to the physics of surfaces and interfaces. They discuss in detail physical properties of solid surfaces and
of their interfaces to liquid and gases. The necessary theoretical background for understanding various optical
techniques is provided thereafter. |
|||||||||||||||
|
The second part of the book gives a broad review on optical techniques and their applications such as infrared and optical spectroscopy or optical microscopy. Discussions of nonlinear optics, but also nano-optics and local spectroscopies complement this self-contained work. Helpful features includes problems with solutions, a glossary, an index and a thoroughly elaborated list of topical references. The book is suited as a text of graduate students but also for scientists working in physics, chemistry,
materials or life sciences who look for an expert introduction to surface optical aspects of their studies.

Scanning Auger Electron Microscopy
Martin Prutton (Editor), Mohamed M. El Gomati (Editor) This book concentrates upon a form of scanning electron microscopy in which electrons are
focused onto the surface of a solid sample and Auger electrons are emitted into an energy analyzer
in which their kinetic energy is established. |
|||||||||||||||
|
Chapter 6 presents the software tools useful to interpret the information in an Auger image. Chapter 7 discussed methods that can convert the intensities of the pixels in a set of images using different Auger peaks from the same area of a sample into a set of maps revealing the atomic concentrations at each point in the surface – image quantification. Chapters 8 and 9 describe some of the most important applications of Auger microscopy in the fields of metallurgy and of semiconductor device characterization. The material in the book is intended as a guide to the subject of Auger electron microscopy and so it is hoped that it will be of interest to researchers in this field as well as to others who wish to discover what can be achieved with this technique and what are its limitations. In addition, it will be useful to analysts working with SAMs who are hard pressed to measure many samples and have little time to work on other aspects of the behaviour of their instrument or the problems that they may, perhaps unwittingly encounter.

Thin Film Analysis by X-Ray Scattering
Mario Birkholz While X-ray diffraction investigation of powders and polycrystalline matter was at the forefront of
materials science in the 1960s and 70s, high-tech applications at the beginning of the 21st century are
driven by the materials science of thin films. Very much an interdisciplinary field, chemists, biochemists,
materials scientists, physicists and engineers all have a common interest in thin films and their manifold
uses and applications. |
|||||||||||||||
| Grain size, porosity, density, preferred orientation and other
properties are important to know: whether thin films fulfill their intended function depends crucially on
their structure and morphology once a chemical composition has been chosen. Although their backgrounds differ
greatly, all the involved specialists a profound understanding of how structural properties may be determined
in order to perform their respective tasks in search of new and modern materials, coatings and functions. The
author undertakes this in-depth introduction to the field of thin film X-ray characterization in a clear and
precise manner.
