Microscopía electrónica de barrido y analítica aplicada a la hidrología médica

Abstract

The present paper studies peloids prepared in spas as therapeutic agents. Both the mineral and organic components have varied morphology in these peloids. An analysis with analytical electronic microscope associated to electronic scanning was used to determine the elemental ionic contents and the morphological model. Our results show that there are three different types of peloids according to their microscopic and microanalytical model
