Physical Principles of Electron Microscopy

Abstract

In chapter 4, we discuss the various types of image that can be formed in the transmission electron microscope, starting with an analysis of the interaction between a primary electron and  an atomic nucleus. Different kinds of specimen are then considered, including crystalline samples whose diffraction patterns can yield useful information about their atomic structure.
