Now, a decade later, trends in science and technology appear to have validated their assertions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMajor instrumental assets are generally funded and maintained as central facilities to help potential users make informed decisions about their appropriate use in solving analytical problem(s). Building on the popular first edition, this long-awaited second edition was motivated by the increasingly common industry view that it is more cost-effective to contract out analytical services than to maintain in-house facilities. Guided by that trend, this book focuses on developing strategic thinking for those who decide which facilities to access and where to subcontract analytical work. It covers most of the major tactical issues that are relevant at the location in which data are being produced.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNew Information in this Second Edition Includes: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eElectron-optical imaging techniques and associated analytical methods\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eTechniques based on synchrotron sources\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eConvenient and versatile scanning probe group methods\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eScanning tunneling microscopy, biocompatible materials, and nano-structured materials\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eAssessing benefits and limitations of different methodologies, this volume provides the essential physical basis and common modes of operation for groups of techniques.
