Description
The past decade has seen huge advances in the application of microscopy in all areas of science. With this growth has come a bewildering array of names and technical terms, making it a challenge to keep up-to-date. The Dictionary of Microscopy contains over 2000 technical terms used in the fields of light microscopy, electron microscopy, scanning probe microscopy, spectroscopy, x-ray microscopy and related techniques.
Written by Dr Julian P. Heath, Editor of Microscopy and Analysis, the Dictionary of Microscopy is intended to provide easy navigation through the microscopy vocabulary, to be a first point of reference for definitions of new and current terms, and to be a guide to further important sources of information.
The Dictionary of Microscopy is an essential resource of reference for:
* Experienced users as an aide memoire or when seeking a definition
* Equipment purchasers who want an explanation of the technical terms used in manufacturers' brochures and manuals
* Potential microscope users who want a definition of an unfamiliar instrument or technique with a view to using it
* Students in colleges and universities who are new to the file and are learning about microscopes
