Handbook Sample Preparation for Static Image Analysis

This handbook describes the categorisation and preparation of different types of particles as samples for static image analysis. It is structured as guideline for the practical work in the lab. Thus, the structure offers a pragmatical path to guide the user independend from type and source of the sample as quick as possible to a reasonable method of sample preparation. Different ways of preparation, which have been elaborated systematically for different types of samples are documented and summarised as uniform guideline. Adequate parameters for the subsequent scanning and evaluation are listed as additional recommendation.General aim is the harmonisation of sample preparation for various materials (not exhibiting free-flowing properties) by the optimised preparation methods documented in this handbook in order to assist the competent user. Translated from the German 'Handbuch zur Vorbereitung von Proben für die statische Bildanalyse - Leitfaden für Praktiker im Labor -' (Books on Demand GmbH, Norderstedt DE 2023 | ISBN: 9783743172838).
