This book deals with the quantitatives (mensural) aspect of Electron Micrography (EM) (obtained by using both, transmission (TEM) and Scanning (SEM) types) by applying Photogrammetric techniques. Starting with the fundamentals of both, TEM and SEM, it discusses at length the applicable Photogrammetric aspects, viz., instruments, coordinate systems, scale considerations, projective geometries, distortions, refinements of photo coordinates and self-calibration in EM systems. By combining data from both, TEM and SEM, procedures of extracting the best possible information are explored and discussed. Digital three-dimensional (3-D) data processing and displaying procedures are discussed at length. People using the EM technologies desirous of mensural information in fields like microbiology, virology, microelectronics, metallurgy and criminology will find the book very useful.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR Sanjib K. Ghosh

Sanjib K. Ghosh worked as a Surveyor in the Survey of India for 11 years, and as a faculty at the Ohio State University for 20 years and Laval University for 12 years. Also, he served the United Nations as a Consultant on World Cartography. His professional experience in research and development involved, among others: Air Photo Mapping of India â€“ E. Pakistan Boundary; Ice flow movement studies in Antarctica; Calibration of the Lunar Orbiter IV (for Moon mapping by NASA); Calibration of the worldâ€™s largest radio telescope (at Arecibo, Puerto Rico); Mapping blood cells (Electron-micrographic); Calibration of Electron Microscopes; 3-D Mapping of human brain (Stereo-radiographic); and Self-calibration used in unconventional photogrammetric systems. He also served as Visiting Professor at various institutes and universities in Brazil, Canada, India, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Morocco, Nigeria and Thailand. He has authored around 200 scientific publications, three books as sole author and four books as a contributing author. Inventor of a New Method of Determining Latitude and Azimuth, Dr. Ghosh holds a patent on the use of â€˜Floating Lineâ€™ in Stereo-radiographic surgery of epileptic human brains.
