Take a look at "Quantitative Chemical Analysis" by Daniel C Harris

there is also a free web resource here http://bcs.whfreeman.com/qca/default.asp?s=&n=&i=&v=&o=&ns=0&t=&uid=0&rau=0

That's the same book I have, it's a good book, and is used later in Instrumental Analysis, or at the very least you can get a LOT of good detail about instruments and how they work from it.  I found it in the freezer in our chemistry society and took it because the kid who used to own it graduated.

Well, it seems this sub-forum didn't have a thread on best texts for Analytical Chemistry.  So we'll make this post sticky and post them here.  To start with, the people I used to work with considered a good overall introduction to analytical chemistry to be:  Instrumental Methods of Analysis, by Willard, Merritt and Dean.  http://www.amazon.com/Instrumental-Methods-Analysis-Chemistry-Willard/dp/0534081428  I'm very glad to have my fifth edition as a reference, although, I used to have an older revision, maybe third, and while the instruments were more old fashioned, I did like hearing about older, more manual methods.
Hey, I'm not judging.  I just like to shoot straight.  I'm a man of science.

Quantitative Chemical Analysis by Daniel Harris http://www.amazon.ca/Quantitative-Chemical-Analysis-Daniel-Harris/dp/1429218150

Instrumental methods was the textbook for my MSc course.

Also Statistics and Chemometrics for Analytical Chemistry (Miller & Miller) http://www.amazon.com/Statistics-Chemometrics-Analytical-Chemistry-4th/dp/0130228885/ref=sr_1_3?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1363373601&sr=1-3&keywords=statistics+miller+%26+miller

Book recommendations on these topics: XRD, SEM/TEM, and ICP-MS/OES
« Reply #28 on: September 01, 2014, 06:39:05 AM »
Hi!

I want to read up on some analytical techniques that I will use in my thesis work. I already have PANalytical's introduction to X-ray Powder Diffraction, but I would like something larger, a book, or several books, perhaps.

I am interested in something that covers both theoretical and applied aspects, even if that means two separate books. Do anyone have any recommendations of such literature? I have an advanced bachelor course in quantum physics, some math, and 110 ECTS in chemistry, so the the theory does not need to be "high-school-ish".

If it matters, I will be analyzing particulate matter from air samples.

The ICP-MS is a high-resolution sector-field instrument. The ICP-OES is one of the Optimas, I believe.

Anyway, I would appreciate any help that would narrow my search.

Kind regards,
Anders

R.F. Egerton, "Physical Principles of Electron Microscopy" is a short book that covers the basics of SEM and TEM. A good place to start.
J.Goldstein et al, "Scanning Electron Microscopy and X-ray Microanalysis" is a much more detailed and thorough treatment of the practice of SEM, instrumentation, sample handling and the interpretation of images. Also reasonably cheap for a hardback science book these days. Unfortunately (for you) it doesn't cover TEM, but if you're going to do a lot of SEM I can strongly recommend it.
