“A GUIDE TO ELECTRON MICROSCOPIC METHODS: SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY AND TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY”, provides the essential information of electron microscopic methods. The book covers the two electron microscopic techniques namely, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The content of the book is divided in to three chapters. The first chapter deals with introduction of electron microscopic methods. The second chapter emphasizes on the SEM followed by the third chapter on TEM. The comprehensive explanation regarding the principle, instrumentation, sample preparation, advantages, limitations and applications of the two methods is dealt with. Also it features the comparison of SEM and TEM. The book will serve as a reference for graduate, postgraduate students and researchers, learning microscopy for the first time.
Finally, the author hopes that the book not only will communicate the information regarding SEM and TEM, but will also convey the excitement that this field offers to those who are privileged to work in it.
