Scanning Negatives and Slides: Digitizing Your Photographic Archives
A large number of contemporary photographers have either moved into digital photography exclusively or use both analog and digital media in their work. In either case, there is most likely an archive of slides and negatives which cannot be directly integrated into the new digital workflow, nor can it be archived in a digital format. More and more, photographers are trying to bridge this gap using high-performance film scanners.

How to achieve the best possible digital image from a negative or slide, and how to build a workflow to make this process efficient, repeatable, and reliable, is the subject of this book. The author uses Nikon's filmscanners throughout, but all steps can easily be followed using a different scanner. The most common software tools for scanning (SilverFast, VueScan, NikonScan) are not only covered extensively in the book, but are also provided on a CD along with other useful tools for image editing, as well as numerous sample scans.

Scanning Electron Microscopy and X-ray Microanalysis

Providing a comprehensive introduction to the capabilities and use of scanning electron microscopes (SEM) and x-ray spectrometers, this highly acclaimed text emphasizes practical aspects of imaging and analysis for a broad audience of students and practitioners whose backgrounds span a wide range of science and technology. Topics discussed include user-controlled functions of scanning electron microscopes and x-ray spectrometers, the characteristics of electron beam - specimen interactions, image formation and interpretation, the use of x-rays for qualitative and quantitative analysis and the methodology for structural analysis using electron back-scatter diffraction. SEM sample preparation methods for hard materials, polymers, and biological specimens are covered in separate chapters. In addition, techniques for the elimination of charging in non-conducting specimens are detailed. A database of useful parameters for SEM and X-ray micro-analysis calculations and enhancements to the text chapters are available on an accompanying CD.

This third edition has been extensively revised, including new sections on:

  • Variable-pressure SEM,
  • Electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD),
  • Recent developments in x-ray detectors,

and expanded coverage of:

  • Low-voltage SEM,
  • X-ray mapping,
  • Specimen preparation.

The text has been used in educating over 3,000 students at the Lehigh Microscopy School SEM short course as well as thousands of undergraduate and graduate students at universities worldwide.

Pocket Protocols for Ultrasound Scanning, 2nd Edition
Using a flip-card format, this compact guide provides protocols that take the guesswork out of image documentation These comprehensive protocols follow the imaging guidelines of the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine (AIUM) and include a universal method for documenting any type of pathology. Examples of the required images for the physician's diagnostic interpretation are included. Documentation specifics are provided for full and limited abdominal studies, gynecological and obstetric exams, and prostate evaluations. Also provided are protocols for small parts, vascular system, and echocardiography.

  • Flip-card format with spiral binding allows the book to sit upright close to the console, so sonographer can easily flip pages while scanning to be sure that correct protocols are followed.
  • Step-by-step instructions describe criteria for each ultrasound study, then provide examples of each scan that should be obtained to complete the study.
  • Protocols follow guidelines provided by the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine (AIUM), the organization that sets sonography policies, practice standards, safety procedures, and performance guidelines.
  • Detailed line drawings accompany most sonograms, clarifying the structures shown on the diagnostic image.
  • Over 1,200 images and drawings are provided, including images with accompanying drawings for every AIUM-approved protocol - offering a visual step-by-step scanning approach to the performance of scans and image documentation for physician diagnostic interpretation.


  • New images are added to complete the scanning protocols approved by the AIUM.

Mastering Digital Scanning with Slides, Film, and Transparencies
According to the Photo Marketing Association's 2003 Review and Forecast, 988 million rolls of film will be sold in the United States alone, along with another 210 million one-time-use film cameras. We're as likely to see filmless photography anytime soon as we are to work in a paperless office. "Mastering Digital Imaging with Slides, Film, and Transparencies" approaches this hot topic from the photographer's viewpoint rather than that of the graphics guru or PC hardware maniac. It covers do-it-yourself solutions, like slide copy attachments for digital cameras (a widely available but almost unknown accessory) and building your own back-light source for your flatbed..
