Physical Principles of Electron Microscopy

This book introduces current theory and practice of electron microscopy, primarily for undergraduates, as well as for technologists who use electron microscopes and to graduate students, university teachers and researchers who need a concise reference on the basic principles of microscopy.

Thoroughly revised and updated from the popular 2005 edition, this textbook introduces both the theory and current practice of electron microscopy Contains expanded reference lists as a launch point into the specialist literature Requires only a first-year undergraduate knowledge of physics Written by a leading author who received the 2004 Distinguished Physical Scientist Award of the Microscopical Society of America Covers principles and techniques essential to materials science, the semiconductor industry, nanotechnology, and the biomedical and forensic sciences Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
