Originally published in 2005, this book covers the closely related techniques of electron microprobe analysis (EMPA) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) specifically from a geological viewpoint.

This guide assumes that the reader has a basic understanding of how an electron microprobe functions, and of X-ray generation and behaviour as stipulated by the Bragg Law. In order to understand what ...

The instrument is a dedicated field emission, wavelength dispersive electron microprobe (EPMA). Quantitative elemental data can be obtained from most elements (Fluorine to Uranium) with detection ...

Efforts to map groundwater, expand research and analyze water data are getting an injection with state and federal grants.

Other phenomena occur during random electron collisions, such as the generation of cathodoluminescent ... This may sound trivial, but can be a common effect when one is operating a microprobe near the ...

The Lab has an Electron Microprobe; an automated powder diffraction system, and a SEM equipped with a backscattered electron detector, a cathodoluminescence detector, and a light-element energy ...

Biren identified and processed shocked zircon fragments for imaging and chemical analysis with an electron microprobe. “This research adds a tool for investigators dating terrestrial impact ...

The wavelength dispersive X-ray (WDX) electron microprobe is capable of unattended overnight elemental analysis of materials in polished sections or blocks. Images from the sample surface can also be ...
