Issued without a dust jacket. --- "8 of the ten chapters of the book are devoted to electron microscopy with a considerable emphasis on transmission and diffraction techniques. The subject matter is well laid out and the text is very readable. Seven chapters have been contributed by authors from the Center for Solid State Science, Arizona State University, and this brings a welcome coherence to a multi-author volume. This group of researchers are very well known, and they write authoritatively on the principles of electron microscopy, applications in biological systems, the imaging of crystal defects, high resolution imaging of materials, diffraction and microanalysis techniques. Walter McCrone is the almost inevitable choice for a substantial chapter on light and other microscopies. The final chapter deals with particle size measurement. In summary, this book gives an excellent grounding in the use of the transmission electron microscope for materials characterization.".…
