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.

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 ...

The Robert M. MacKay Electron Microprobe Laboratory (EMPA laboratory) in the Department of Earth Sciences has operated as a regional facility since 1984. In 2006 the lab became affiliated with the ...

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 ...

The Perkin Elmer PHI-660 scanning Auger microprobe can be used for the compositional analysis of specimen surfaces using Auger electron spectroscopy (AES). The probe depth of AES is on the order of ...
