Microscopy is central to the vast majority of semiconductor failure analyses, and is therefore of great importance to engineers concerned with design validation, process optimization, component qualification, testing, and pre- or post-use diagnostics. A wide range of microscopical techniques is available, and each has a unique and complementary role to play in determining the causes of semiconductor failure. The applications of microscopy to semiconductor failure analysis are described in this concise handbook, which provides a valuable practical guide for all those working in the field. The basic principles and operation of each type of microscopy are explained, and each is illustrated with case histories and micrographs of many failure mechanisms. The need for new microscopies for the study of future generation devices is discussed, and several possible candidates for this purpose are assessed.

This volume provides an introduction to the basic principles and the m ethods used to prepare biological membranes for analysis of their mole cular composition and structure. The book also covers the methodology associated with the dissection of membrane trafficking. In addition, t he choice of biological material and technique is often crucial and Me mbrane Analysis provides expert guidance on the most appropriate metho d for the job. Topics covered include the source of membranes, prepara tion of subcellular membranes, molecular composition, structural organ ization of membrane proteins and glycoproteins, structural organizatio n of membrane lipids and glycolipids, membrane assembly and protein ta rgeting, membrane transit and secretion, and receptor-mediated endocyt osis and membrane trafficking.

Plant tissue culture is fundamental to our understanding of the geneti c control of plant function and the modification of these functions to meet the needs of modern agriculture, horticulture and forestry. Thro ugh tissue cultures, it is now possible to examine complex development al processes such as embryogenesis and host-pathogen interactions, and to enhance characteristics such as salt or disease resistance. This i ntroductory volume provides all of the information you need to set up and run a tissue culture facility, and also serves as a practically or iented text. It includes an excellent overview of all the basic tissue culture techniques, and describes in detail both the theoretical back ground and practical applications. The book offers a balanced and extr emely thorough description of the subject for anyone interested in thi s exciting field.

Introduction to Light Microscopy furnishes detailed and fully illustra ted advice on selecting and using the appropriate type of light micros cope for particular applications. The authors clearly explain the ster eo-low power microscope and describe in detail the many different type's of condensers, objectives and eyepieces required for the high-power compound microscope. They also outline the correct care and use of the microscope in order to achieve the best possible image and provide a checklist to aid in the diagnosis and correction of problems.
