Review Quotes:
From the reviews of the fifth edition:
"A classical monograph on the physics of image formation, electron-specimen interactions, and image interpretation in transmission electron microscopy. ... the student and the instructor can find applications of many fundamental concepts of physics in this book. ... could be used, of course by scientists in the field of transmission electron microscopy and by students attending a summer school on the technique. ... In conclusion, this book will probably be found in libraries and on the shelves of the expert in transmission electron microscopy ... ." (Gary J. Long, Belgian Physical Society Magazine, Issue 1, 2011)
