Overview
Identifies problems that all specimens present in examining their structure and analysis in the SEM
Describes a series of protocols to ensure that a specimen is properly prepared once the particular problems are identified
Guides the reader through a general approach to the problem before a particular procedure is applied to the requirements of a given sample
Designed both as an introduction for the novice and as a guide for the practicing scanning microscopist
