Morphology imaging

Electron Probe Microanalysis, EPMA, as performed in an electron microprobe combines EDS and WDX to give quantitative compositional analysis in the reflection mode from solid surfaces together with the morphological imaging of SEM. The spatial resolution is restricted by the interaction volume below the surface, varying from about 0.2 pm to 5 pm. Flat samples are needed for the best quantitative accuracy. Compositional mapping over a 100 x 100 micron area can be done in 15 minutes for major components Z> 11), several hours for minor components, and about 10 hours for trace elements. 

Magnetic resonance (MR) is routinely used in clinical practice as a powerful, nonin-vasive diagnostic tool. While human in vivo MR is mainly an anatomical and morphological imaging technique, it can also provide functional information using both imaging and spectroscopic methods. MR spectroscopy has proved to be an important technique in... 

Microscopy can provide visual details of the membrane surface and cross-section morphology. Image analysis of micrographs can give quantitative data from these direct observations. 

Perhaps because of the wide spectrum of morphologic images associated with vascular tumors of the skin, a great deal of attention has been paid to their immuno-...
