The
Microscopy Listserver/Mailreflector System is a telecommunication (Email)
based discussion forum giving members of the scientific community a centralized Internet address to
which questions/comments/answers in the various fields of
Microscopy or Microanalysis can be rapidly
distributed to a list of (subscribed) individuals by electronic mail.
The Microscopy Listserver is primarily directed at College Level and beyond, while the Ask-A-Microscopist
project is directed to Middle and High School area.
For the purposes of this discussion forum, Microscopy or Microanalysis should be considered to
include all techniques which employ a probe such as: photons (including x-rays),
electrons, ions, mechanical and/or electromagnetic radiation to form a
representation or characterization of the microstructure (internal or external)
of any material in either physical and/or life sciences applications.
Some of the more common techniques which are associated with this field include
the following: optical microscopy, x-ray microscopy, scanning electron microscopy,
transmission electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, scanning tunneling microscopy,
scanning ion microscopy, analytical electron microscopy, high resolution electron
microscopy, high voltage electron microscopy, electron microprobe analyzers,
x-ray energy dispersive spectroscopy, electron energy loss spectroscopy, etc. (the list can continue).......
