TROUBLESHOOTING
by JOHN Q.WALKER, McDonnell-Douglas Research Laboratory, St. Louis, Mo., MINOR T. JACKSON, Jr., Monsanto Central Research Dept., St. Louis, Mo., and JAMES B. MAYNARD, Shell Research Laboratory, Wood River, III. This book provides a clear and concise guide for liquid and gas chromatographic maintenance—trouble-shooting and repair procedures which may be utilized by both experienced and in experienced chemists, technicians, and students to reduce instrument downtime. The theoretical principles behind each trouble-shooting and/or maintenance concept are also clarified. 7 972, about 290 pp., $8.95
by OLIVER H. LOWRY, Dept. of Pharmacology, Washington Univ. School of Medicine, St. Louis, Mo. and JANET V. PASSONNEAU, National Inst, of Neurological Diseases and Stroke, National Inst, of Health, Bethesda, Md. A method-oriented monograph, this volume describes a sys tematic scheme for analyzing biological materials—from the whole organ to the level of the single cell. It serves as a guide for developing new methods, refining old ones, and adapting enzyme methods to almost any scale of sensitivity. It provides newcomers to the field with basic information on such impor tant matters as enzyme kinetics and the use of buffers, and presents methods and tools actually used by the authors and their coworkers. June 1972, about 250 pp., in preparation
ELECTRON MICROSCOPY IN MATERIAL SCIENCE
INTRODUCTORY FOURIER TRANSFORM SPECTROSCOPY CONTENTS: Fourier Transform Spectroscopy. Historical Sketch and Crucial Ideas. Fourier Analysis and Interferometry. Sample Calculations of Spectra from Interferograms. Apodization-Mathematical Filtering. Resolution. Sampling Intervals. Asymmetric Interferometers and Amplitude Spectroscopy. Beamsplitters. Spectral Filtering. Field of View. Phase Error and Sampling Problems. Procedures for Choosing Experi mental Parameters. Sarnple Interferograms and Spectra. Lamellar Grating Interferometers. Computation Techniques. The Cooley-Tukey Algorithm (by R. W. ALEXANDER and R. J. BELL). Minicomputers and Real-Time Analysis (by R. W. ALEXANDER). Commercial Instruments. Appendixes.
edited by U.VALDRE This book offers a comprehensive overview of recent develop ments in electron optics and electron microscopy and their applications to material science. The material is divided into three parts. Part 1 presents an up-to-date review of electron optics and discusses new electron optical instrumentation and accessories that will play an important part in future research. Part 2 reviews the current status of material science, emphasiz ing the application of electron microscopy to radiation damage problems. It also presents a number of fully solved problems that will enable the reader to better understand and use this theory. Part 3 deals with the transfer of image information and phase contrast, as applied to high resolution and Lorentz microscopy. This book is based on a series of lectures given at the first International School of Electron Microscopy "Ettore Majorana."
