Reihe: Comprehensive Analytical Chemistry

Chemical Imaging Analysis covers the advancements made over the last 50 years in chemical imaging analysis, including different analytical techniques and the ways they were developed and refined to link the composition and structure of manmade and natural materials at the nano/micro scale to the functional behavior at the macroscopic scale. In a development process that started in the early 1960s, a variety of specialized analytical techniques was developed - or adapted from existing techniques - and these techniques have matured into versatile and powerful tools for visualizing structural and compositional heterogeneity. This text explores that journey, providing a general overview of imaging techniques in diverse fields, including mass spectrometry, optical spectrometry including X-rays, electron microscopy, and beam techniques.

Barbante, Carlo
Carlo Barbante is director of the Italian National Research Council's Institute for the Dynamics of Environmental Processes, and full professor at the University of Venice, Ca'Foscari. His principal research interest is the development of analytical methods based on inorganic and organic mass spectrometry for the ultra-trace determination and speciation in environmental and biological matrices and advanced materials. He participated to several scientific expeditions in polar regions and in the Alps. His work focuses on the reconstruction of archives of atmospheric trace elements and organic compounds deposition.
Prof. Barbante is the Italian National Delegate to the European Union for Climate Action, Resource Efficiency and Raw Materials (Horizon 2020 Advisory Board).
