This volume contains the contributions to the symposium \"X-ray Microscopy '86\", held in Taipei, Taiwan, the Republic of China in August 1986. This is the first volume which intends to provide up-to- date information on x-ray imaging to biologists, therefore, emphasis was given to specimen preparation techniques and image interpreta- tion. Specimen preparation represents a major part of every microscopy work, therefore, it should be strongly emphasized in this emerging field of x-ray microscopy. Theoretically, x-ray microscopy offers the potential for the study of unfixed, hydrated biological ma- terials. Since very few biological system can be directly observed without specimen preparation, we would like to emphasize that new information on biological specimens can only be obtained if the speci- men is properly prepared. In the past decade, many of the published x-ray images were obtained from poorly prepared biological speci- mens, mainly air-dried materials. Therefore, one of the goals of this conference is to bring the importance of specimen preparation to the attention of x-ray microscopy community. X-ray microscopy can be subdivided into several major areas. They are the classic x-ray projection microscope, x-ray contact imag- ing (microradiography) and the more recent x-ray scanning micro- scope, x-ray photoelectron microscope and x-ray imaging microscope.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45284221681815,"sku":"9783642728839","price":7345.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783642728839.webp?v=1769280541","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/x-ray-microscopy-instrumentation-and-biological-applications-9783642728839","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
