Applications of Electron Energy Loss Spectroscopy in Biology: Detection of Calcium and Fluorine

Author(s):  
R. D. Leapman

Two classes of experiments, which look promising for the application of electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) involve the localization of cellular calcium and the detection of fluorine in labelled biological molecules. In this paper we present one example where EELS has proved complementary to energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX) for the detection of calcium, and some measurements on mass loss of fluorine which are relevant to the feasibility of the labelling technique.
