Eine umfassende Untersuchung der Röntgenfluoreszenz in der chemischen Biologie sowie in der klinischen Wissenschaft und Pflanzenkunde
In X-Ray Fluorescence in Biological Sciences: Principles, Instrumentation and Applications präsentiert ein Team erfahrener Forscher eine umfassende Darstellung der Anwendung der Röntgenfluoreszenz (XRF) in den Biowissenschaften, insbesondere der chemischen Biologie, der klinischen Wissenschaft und der Pflanzenkunde. Zudem befasst sich das Buch mit den neuesten Fortschritten der Röntgenfluoreszenz-Bildgebungstechnik in diesen Bereichen.
Die Autoren legen den Schwerpunkt auf das Verständnis und die Untersuchung der interzellulären Strukturen und Metalle in Pflanzenzellen. Dabei werden neu entwickelte mikroanalytische Methoden vertiefend erörtert, insbesondere die energiedispersive Röntgenfluoreszenzspektrometrie (EDXRF), die Totalreflexions-Röntgenfluoreszenzspektrometrie (TXRF), mikroprotoneninduzierte Röntgenemission (micro-PIXE), Elektronensonden-Röntgenmikroanalyse (EPXMA), synchrotronbasierte Röntgenfluoreszenzmikroskopie (SXRF, SRIXE oder micro-XRF) und die Sekundärionen-Massenspektrometrie (SIMS).
Neben ausführlichen Beschreibungen von Protokollen und praktischen Ansätzen enthält dieses Werk:
* Eine gründliche Einführung in den historischen Hintergrund und die Grundlagen der Röntgenfluoreszenz sowie Angaben zu den neuesten Entwicklungen in der Röntgenfluoreszenzanalyse
* Eine umfassende Erforschung der allgemeinen Eigenschaften, der Erzeugung und des Nachweises von Röntgenstrahlung sowie Hinweise zur Vorbereitung von Proben für die Röntgenfluoreszenzanalyse
* Praktische Erörterungen der Quantifizierung vorbereiteter Proben nach Beobachtung unter Röntgenfluoreszenz und der Beziehung zwischen Präzision, Strahlgröße und Probenmenge
* Vertiefende Untersuchungen der wellenlängendispersiven Röntgenfluoreszenz und lebender Materialien
