microscopia química e crescimento de cristais - Innovation Days

“Chemical Microscopy” was defined by Émile Chamot in the
Introduction to his Elementary Chemical Microscopy as “the
application of the microscope to the solution of chemical
problems”, for the purpose of differentiating it from
“microchemical” methods and tests. He went on to explain that
“Microchemistry implies chemistry on a small scale,” and, indeed,
“all highly sensitive identification reactions and all quantitative
methods, which permit the use of samples smaller than are
commonly necessary in ‘standard methods’”. Under the term
“chemical microscopy” Chamot included “those methods,
principles, and phenomena of chemistry which may be studied
particularly advantageously by means of the microscope….”
Microchemistry and spot tests are, therefore, vital methods in the
practice of chemical microscopy.
