电子显微镜时代与纳米地球科学

From optical microscopy to electron microscopy: Nanogeoscience

光学显微镜的广泛运用,扩展了观察认识地球固体物质组成、结构、构造的视野,促使地球科学从简单描述走向理论研究,催生了地球科学的第一次革命;21世纪地球科学研究全面向地球表层转移,迫切需要认识地球物质纪录的纳米尺度信息;现代电子显微镜在地球科学中的广泛运用,催生了纳米地球科学的诞生。纳米地球科学诞生推动地球科学家将从纳米尺度解读过去所未知的固体地球演代过程的信息;纳米地球科学的兴起将引起地球科学的一场新的革命。

The research fields of scientists were extended to investigation of mineral components, structure and texture of solid earth materials because of wide using of optical microscopy, which promoted geoscience development from simple description to theoretic study and caused the first revolution of geoscience. Geoscience researches have been all-sidedly transferred from the internal to the surface layer of the earth in the 21st century, so it is imperative to reveal information records in solid earth materials from nanometers. Wide using of modern electron microscopy of molecular or atomic resolution in geoscience researches drives the emergence of nanogeoscience, which will promote geoscientists to understand the information records in solid earth materials from nanometers. Naogeoscience will bring about the second revolution of geoscience.
