Fluoresence Microscopy, 2nd Edition Brian Herman, 1998, pp. 170Fluorescence microscopy is an important laboratory tool used in modern cell and molecular biology. This book is the revised, updated and expanded second edition of a best-selling introductory text on the use of fluorescence microscopy in cell biology. This book covers the fundamental principles of fluorescence and their application to fluorescence microscopy. A detailed description of the fluorescence microscope and other required equipment is given, too. Applications to immunofluorescence, in situ hybridization, and photomicrography are presented in full, practical detail.
The Usborne Complete Book of the Microscope
Kirsteen Rogers, 1998, pp. 96The Complete Book of the Microscope is a breathtaking introduction to an extraordinary new world. Fantastic photographs, a thousand or even a million times larger than life, reveal flies' eyes, flu viruses, and even individual atoms. Project ideas, with clear step-by-step instructions, explain how you can use your own microscopes to see an amazing - sometimes startling - view of everyday objects.
Atlas of Human Hair Microscopic Characteristics
Robert R. Ogle, Jr. & Michelle J. Fox, 1999, pp.83This book fills a void in the resources available to researchers and practitioners in forensic hair examination. It provides photographic archetypes for the microscopic characteristics of human hair and the varieties of the characteristics seen in forensic examinations, including curl; color; pigment distribution and density; cortical fusi; and ovoid bodies. These illustrations provide a uniform basis for describing the characteristics and their variations for forensic professionals in differing geographical areas. Also, the documentation of hair characteristics using the scoring system outlined in this atlas allows researchers to develop data regarding the frequency of characteristics.
X-Ray Diffraction: A Practical Approach
C. Suryanarayana and M. Grant Norton, 1998, pp.273The primary aim of this book is to enable students to understand the practical aspects of the technique, analyze x-ray diffraction patterns from a variety of materials under different conditions, and to get the maximum possible information from the diffraction patterns. Topics covered include, lattices and crystal structures, practical aspects of x-ray diffraction, components of an x-ray diffractometer, x-ray safety, and pattern interpretation. The book is broken into two sections: Part I-Basics and Part II - Experimental Modules.
Microstructural Characterisation of Fibre-Reinforced Composites
John Summerscales, 1998, pp. 319This book comprehensively examines the application of advanced microstructural characterization techniques to fiber-reinforced composites. With contributions from international experts, the book serves as an essential reference for materials scientists and research workers. Features include discussions on the range of reinforcement forms used in commercial applications, and an outline of the techniques appropriate in identifying a material's micro- and mesostructures.
Fakebusters: Scientific Detection of Fakery in Art
Walter C. McCrone and Richard J. Weiss, 1999, pp. 400Presents actual casework, such as the Shroud of Turin, Christ Among the Doctors, Caravaggio's paintings and more, where scientific techniques were used to foil attempts to counterfeit famous art. Discusses light microscopy, carbon dating, X-Ray analysis, ARCOS, Raman, chemical microscopy, and IFAR. Will be of great interest to art conservators, museums, forensic scientists, historians and more. Includes an Appendix of dates for pigment use.
