Product Description
Product Description
Materials science has witnessed incredible change and technological development over the past few decades in the applications of optical microscopy. So fast has been the pace of this change that there is a real need for a new book that covers the potential of the latest optical microscopes for materials science research. The main objective for computer-assisted microscopy is to make the most effective measurements of the 3D structure of materials and to make the measurement as quickly and efficiently as possible so as to interpret the resulting images without undue bias. This comprehensive new reference work provides an overview of and practical guide to the various computer-aided microscopical techniques used in materials science today. After introducing the reader to the basic concepts of optics, the interactions between light and matter, and image processing, the book goes on to discuss in depth both 2-d reflection microscopy and confocal laser scanning microscopy. The application of these techniques to the characterisation of materials is abundantly illustrated by hundreds of photographs and illustrations and through specific case studies. There is also discussion of other modern optical imaging techniques and of non-optical ones such as x-ray micrography. This comprehensive reference text will be essential both for beginners looking for an introduction to the subject as well as advanced materials researchers in the fields where optical microscopy is used. Part 1 reviews the basic principles behind the traditional view of optics and optical microscope design and covers microelectronics including the role of computer hardware, software and image analysis Part 2 discusses the practical issues involved with the acquisition and interpretation of images from standard optical reflection microscopes and confocal laser scanning microscopes (CLSMs). Two major case studies are discussed which aim to show the reader how ideas from Part 1 are synthesised into real applications Part 3 focuses on alternative, non-optical microscopy techniques for the characterisation of material structures and two further case studies are presented on the use of X-ray microtomography and low frequency ultrasonics for fibre-reinforced polymer composites research
