Hi,

You need to look at

1) For EM: articles by Judy Murphy in Microscopy Today

2) Design of the electron microscope laboratory (Practical methods in electron microscopy) by Ron Alderson - dated 1975 - ASIN: B0007AI2K8

3) Book chapter 4 in Imaging Cellular and Molecular Biological Functions (Principles and Practice) by Shorte & Frischknecht ISBN 9783540713302
 
4)Article in Wiley's Encylopeadia of Life Science PDF Light Microscopy Imaging Facilities a0022189.

regards,
Jeremy
