Speciation and Quantitative Mapping of Metal Species in Microbial Biofilms Using Scanning Transmission X-ray Microscopy
Abstract
A scanning transmission X-ray microscope illuminated with synchrotron light was used to investigate the speciation and spatial distributions of metals in a microbial biofilm cultivated from river water. Metal 2p absorption edge signals were used to provide metal speciation (through shapes of the absorption spectra) and quantitative spatial distributions of the metal species. This paper presents sample data and describes methods for extracting …
