X-ray Microscopy

the long version

This book provides an up-to-date reference for biologists. Virtually all manners of x-ray microscopy, e.g. shadow projection x-ray microscopy, x-ray contact imaging, scanning x-ray microscopy, and imaging x-ray microscopy, as well as related subjects such as diffraction imaging, microholography, various x-ray sources, and focusing elements are extensively discussed. For illustration, numerous biological x-ray micrographs, obtained by different imaging techniques, are included in a small atlas. This reference book concludes with an extensive bibliography on x-ray microscopy, insuring its usefulness for all scientists intending to apply this new and powerful tool to their research.
