Scientific equipment, experiments and techniques

This book describes for the first time how Monte Carlo modeling methods can be applied to electron microscopy and microanalysis.

A typical optical system is composed of three basic components: a source, a detector, and a medium in which the optical energy propagates.

Doing Science offers a rare compendium of practical advice based on how working scientists practice their craft.

Since its invention in 1982, scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) has enabled users to obtain images reflecting surface electronic structure with atomic resolution.

Selected ion flow tube mass spectrometry (SIFT-MS) is a chromatography-free, direct-analysis technique that is ideally suited to real-time, quantitative analysis of volatile compounds in air at trace concentrations.

In this book the interaction of radiation and matter, and the principles of laser operation are treated at a level suitable for fourth-year undergraduate courses or introductory graduate courses in physics, chemistry or engineering.

Ecological Methods by the late T.

The scanning tunnelling microscope (STM) was invented by Binnig and Rohrer and received a Nobel Prize of Physics in 1986.

Experiments, surveys, measurements, and observations all generate data.

The global loss of biodiversity is occurring at an unprecedented pace.

When digital content and technologies are designed in a way that is inaccessible for persons with disabilities, they are locked out of commerce, education, employment, and access to government information.

Nanoscience is not physics, chemistry, engineering or biology.

This is an agenda-setting and high-profile book that presents an authoritative and cutting-edge analysis of nanoscience and technology.

At this very moment the most ambitious scientific experiment of all time is beginning, and yet its precise aims are little understood by the general public.

Acoustic microscopy enables the elastic properties of materials to be imaged and measured with the resolution of a good microscope.

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is an amazing technique that allies a versatile methodology (that allows measurement of samples in liquid, vacuum or air) to imaging with unprecedented resolution.

Scientific techniques developed in materials science offer invaluable information to archaeology, art history, and conservation.

At this very moment the most ambitious scientific experiment of all time is beginning, and yet its precise aims are little understood by the general public.

Birds have colonized almost every terrestrial habitat on the planet - from the poles to the tropics, and from deserts to high mountain tops.

Dragonflies and Damselflies documents the latest advances in odonate biology and relates these to a broader ecological and evolutionary research agenda.

This book introduces the reader to the power of observation before, and sometimes instead of, experimental manipulation in the study of animal behaviour.

The groundbreaking isolation of embryonic stem cells (or 'ES cells') of the mouse in the early 1980s triggered a sustained expansion of global research into their exploitation.

The Oxford Handbook of the History of Physics brings together cutting-edge writing by more than twenty leading authorities on the history of physics from the seventeenth century to the present day.

This new fourth edition of the standard text on atomic-resolution transmission electron microscopy (TEM) retains previous material on the fundamentals of electron optics and aberration correction, linear imaging theory (including wave aberrations to fifth order) with partial coherence, and multiple-scattering theory.

The problems we face in the 21st century require innovative thinking from all of us.

Lasers are employed throughout science and technology, in fundamental research, the remote sensing of atmospheric gases or pollutants, communications, medical diagnostics and therapies, and the manufacturing of microelectronic devices.

This book provides a clear and very broadly based introduction to crystallography, light, X-ray and electron diffraction - a knowledge which is essential to students in a wide range of scientific disciplines but which is otherwise generally covered in subject-specific and more mathematically detailed texts.

This book introduces the reader to the power of observation before, and sometimes instead of, experimental manipulation in the study of animal behaviour.

Starting from first principles, this book introduces the closely related phenomena of Bose condensation and Cooper pairing, in which a very large number of single particles or pairs of particles are forced to behave in exactly the same way, and explores their consequences in condensed matter systems.

Holograms have been in the public eye for over a half-century, but their influences have deeper cultural roots.

Cryoelectron microscopy of biological molecules is among the hottest growth areas in biophysics and structural biology at present, and Frank is arguably the most distinguished practitioner of this art.

Most biologists use nonlinear regression more than any other statistical technique, but there are very few places to learn about curve-fitting.

Biomedical optical imaging is a rapidly emerging research area with widespread fundamental research and clinical applications.

Organic synthesis is a vibrant and rapidly evolving field; we can now cyclize amines directly onto alkenes.

Organic Synthesis: State of the Art 2011-2013 is a convenient, concise reference that summarizes the most important current developments in organic synthesis, from functional group transformations to complex natural product synthesis.
