P. Berghmans et al., MICROANALYSIS OF ATMOSPHERIC PARTICLES AND FIBERS BY ELECTRON-ENERGY-LOSS SPECTROSCOPY, ELECTRON SPECTROSCOPIC IMAGING AND SCANNING PROTON MICROSCOPY, Analytica chimica acta, 297(1-2), 1994, pp. 27-42
Some aspects of micro- and surface-analytical beam techniques for stud
ies of individual airborne particulates are reviewed. Applications of
the microanalysis techniques of electron spectroscopic imaging, second
ary ion imaging and proton induced x-ray-micro analysis (micro-PIXE) f
or the characterization of individual particles in environmental sampl
es and chemically modified asbestos fibres are discussed.
