Product Description

Review

"This book combines the practical aspects of electron microscopy with just enough theory to capture the interests at all levels. The generous use of examples and the wealth of topics covered make this an attractive textbook for an introductory course in electron microscopy...The discussion of related analytical methods such as SEAM, Spin SEM, and FIM is very welcome in a book of this type and the appendix is also detailed and informative. In short, a reader will find in this book useful information about instrumentation and technique in very readable form, which can be understood and put into practice with a minimum of additional effort." Scanning, The Journal of Scanning Microscopies

"...a must read for any person interested in finding out about this broad discipline...a descriptive, visually oriented text, with many informative figures and stunning electron micrograph images." The Leading Edge

Product Description

This completely revised new edition contains expanded coverage of existing topics and much new material. The author presents the subject of electron microscopy in a readable way, open both to those inexperienced in the technique, and also to practicing electron microscopists. He describes currently hot topics such as computer control of microscopes, energy-filtered imaging, cryomicroscopy and environmental microscopy, digital imaging, high resolution scanning, and transmission microscopy. The author has expanded the highly praised case studies of the first edition to include some interesting new examples. This indispensable guide to electron microscopy, written by an author with thirty years' practical experience, will be invaluable to new and experienced electron microscopists in any area of science and technology.

First Sentence
As the unaided human eye moves closer to an object it produces in the brain of the observer a progressively larger and more detailed image until the eye is about 25 cm from the object, at the so-called near point of the eye. Read the first page

Amazon.com: 3.0 out of 5 stars (1 customer review)

3.0 out of 5 stars Not bad, a bit outdated, Sep 1 2010

By R. M. "Nerd Alert" - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: The Principles and Practice of Electron Microscopy (Paperback)

Read through this book for a TEM/Diffraction class. I'd call it a decent undergraduate-level introduction. Topics are introduced in very general terms with plenty of diagrams, plots, and images. Not extremely well organized, and very few equations.
