Opis

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.

Recenzje

'The principles and practice of electron microscopy provides a most readable non-mathematical overview of the development of the various fields of electron microscopy, suited also to a nonspecialist … This book satisfies all the requirements for an introductory text. It is a volume well worth having on one's bookshelf.' Jaakko Keränen, Microscopy and Analysis
