Book Description
“This book came about because of my poor memory: it is amazing how quickly and easily an experienced electron microscopist/mineralogist can identify minerals with an Energy Dispersive Spectrometer (EDS).
Editorial Reviews
Review
From the reviews:
“Everyone using scanning electron microscopy with EDX and anyone who is not the expert will thoroughly appreciate this novel book with flashcard-like spectra for 182 minerals. … this useful work is a true hands-on practical guide particularly to anyone (student or professional) working occasionally or with limited experience with SEM-EDX. For those it will quickly become an almost indispensable reference … . It is … as such, most welcome and will certainly find many friends.” (Environmental Geology, Vol. 49 (6), 2006)
“This book is a useful addition to reference works kept in geological SEM and EPMA labs that routinely use EDS detectors for phase identification. It provides a welcome update to the SEM Petrology Atlas … . The book provides a branching ‘key’ to identifying an unknown spectrum. … There is also a searchable index by mineral type and by name. … This is an excellent and useful book for its intended audience. … I highly recommend this book.” (John Fournelle, American Mineralogist, Vol. 92, 2007)
