Publisher's Synopsis
The new edition of this practical microscopy guide includes additional material on high-resolution images of periodic structures and associated techniques. It provides both a view of the fundamental principles of electron microscopy and detailed practical information needed to record the images. Various theoretical results are summarized and practical examples given. A considerable fraction of the book has also been set aside for practical information on setting up and using an electron microscope.;Applications in materials science, mineralogy, the biology of radiation-sensitive specimens, semiconductor physics and solid-state chemistry are all described for research workers in these fields.
