Confocal Scanning Optical Microscopy and Related Imaging Systemsby Gordon S. Kino; Timothy R. Corle
Elsevier 1996; US$ 141.00This book provides a comprehensive introduction to the field of scanning optical microscopy for scientists and engineers. The book concentrates mainly on two instruments: the Confocal Scanning Optical Microscope (CSOM), and the Optical Interference Microscope (OIM). A comprehensive discussion of the theory and design of the Near-Field Scanning Optical Microscope (NSOM) is also given. The text discusses the practical aspects of building a confocal scanning optical microscope or optical interference microscope, and the applications of these microscopes to phase imaging, biological imaging, and semiconductor inspection and metrology.A comprehensive theoretical discussion of the depth and transverse resolution is given with emphasis placed on... more...
Hume-Rothery Rules for Structurally Complex Alloy Phasesby Uichiro Mizutani
CRC Press 2010; US$ 89.95Written by Uichiro Mizutani, a renowned authority on Hume-Rothery rules, this book focuses on the stability mechanism of structurally complex phases, beginning with the history, development, and final approach to the goal. It begins with a description of the history of the establishment of the Hume-Rothery rules from 1920s to 1930s and introduces basic theories for allow phase stability. The author describes the long-lasting controversial issues regarding the rules, examining the questions that have been solved and those that have not. more...
