A Summary of Ion Beam Etching of Biological Material with Special Reference to the Saddle Field Source

Authors

D. Claugher, British Museum

Abstract

A brief review of etching of biological materials using radio frequency, ion beam and electrostatic focused sources. Results of experiments using fast atom sources to dissect pollen, diatoms, protozoa and small arthropods, indicate that they produce a much smoother result which enables investigations to be carried out at high magnifications with the SEM.
