High-magnification electron imaging and microanalysis for elemental compositions are important scientific and industrial tools in many disciplines including geology, chemistry, biology, materials science, metallurgy, engineering, archaeology, and even art history. This 1-credit short-course will survey both operating principles and applications and will include hands-on experience with Concord's electron microprobe and micro-XRF instruments.
