Summary: An amazing textbook!
Review: I find this book probably the best textbook in materials science I ever read. Not only the authors are experts in the field of microscopy, but they also succeeded in extremely difficult task to present the complicated science of electron microscopy in a simple (but not oversimplified!) language. The book covers all major aspects of transmission electron microscopy, and contains excellent illustrations. This book is certainly a priceless asset for students. I talked to some people at the National Center for Electron Microscopy, and they also recommend it as one of the best books at the beginning and intermediate level. If you are looking for a book to learn TEM, get this one, you will never regret!

Summary: Excellent introduction to TEM
Review: In the 70's and 80's the book by Hirsch et al. was the TEM reference tome, and Eddington's book the applications manual.Time has marched on, and this book is the new replacement for both! Carter and Williams wrote a very easy to read, yet well detailed, text and reference for TEM. They cover quite literally everything, in just the right level of detail for 1st or 2nd year grad students. This book is the best way to get a quick grasp of TEM.
