Reviews

The best textbook for this audience available.' American Scientist, January-February 1998 Ideally suited to the needs of a graduate level course. It is hard to imagine this book not fulfilling most of the requirements of a text for such a course.' Microscope This book is written in such a comprehensive manner that it is understandable to all people who are trained in physical science and it will be useful both for the expert as well as the student.' Micron The book answers nearly any question - be it instrumental, practical, or theoretical - either directly or with an appropriate reference...This book provides a basic, clearcut presentation of how transmission electron microscopes should be used and of how this depends specifically on one's specific undergoing project.' MRS Bulletin, May 1998 The only complete text now available which includes all the remarkable advances made in the field of TEM in the past 30-40 years....The authors can be proud of an enormous task, very well done.' from the Foreword by Professor Gareth Thomas, University of California, Berkeley
