 The Basics of Crystallography and Diffraction, 3rd Edition
Christopher Hammond, University of Leeds, UK.
ISBN 978-0-19-954644-2 - Hardback 432 pages - Published by Oxford University Press 2009
This book provides a clear introduction to topics which are essential to students in a wide range of scientific disciplines. It shows how crystal structures may be built up from simple ideas of atomic packing and co-ordination, it develops the concepts of crystal symmetry, point and space groups by way of 2D examples of patterns and tilings, it explains the concept of the reciprocal lattice in simple terms and shows its importance in an understanding of light, X-ray and electron diffraction. |

| A Selection of New SPM Products: |
|
 piezojena release PK line of XY-nanopositioning and nanoscanning stages piezosystem jena has a line of x-y positioners with a resolution unmatched by mechanical and electromechanical systems in addition to a line of x-y scanners specially designed for fast precise movement of optical components and mechanical parts.
 Carbon Design Innovations introduces CNT probe technology for AFM
CDI has released two new atomic force microscope probes with carbon nanotube tips. The carbon-core high-aspect ratio and high-resolution CNT probes offer quantum improvements for AFM imaging, improving results, reducing cost of operation and opening avenues for research
 Ztherm modulated thermal analysis with sub-zl resolution from Asylum Asylum Research, a technology leader in scanning probe and atomic force microscopy (SPM/AFM), has announced the new Ztherm Modulated Local Thermal Analysis Option for its MFP-3D and Cypher AFMs
 NanoInk releases a new extended variable temperature control module for DPN Recent advances in producing a variety of new nanoscale products using Dip Pen Nanolithography have been achieved with a new thermoelectric variable temperature stage module that extends the range from as low as 4 to as high as 80 degrees C |

MICROSCOPY AND MICROANALYSIS MEETING IN RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, 26-30 JULY
 Microscopy and Microanalysis runs from Sunday 26 to Thursday 30 July and is one of the biggest microscopy meetings of the year. Microscopy and Analysis will be at the exhibition for the full five days and will have a stand - 238 - where you can meet the M&A team, discuss anything about the magazine and our website, or just say hello and take a break. We will be Tweeting live from the show, publicising various events on an ad hoc basis. and posting daily blogs on our website about what's going on at the meeting.
See you at Microscopy and Microanalysis 2009!
ROYAL MICROSCOPICAL SOCIETY
The Royal Microscopical Society will be at the M&M show. Please visit booth #661 for information about RMS membership, publications and conferences.

M&A IMAGES OF THE MONTH
|
The new M&A website now features images submitted by our readers.
 The image of the month in the EM Channel is a pseudo- coloured SEM photograph of a synthetically prepared calcium carbonate crystal after inhibition of polymer. Specimen was carbon coated and imaged using high-vacuum mode of the FEI Quanta 200 scanning electron microscope.
To submit your images to the LM, EM or SPM channels click on the "Submit an Image" link in the Contribute box on your channel's home page.
