This book focuses on charged-particle optics and microscopy, as well as
their applications in the materials sciences. Presenting a range of
cutting-edge theoretical and methodological advances in electron
microscopy and microanalysis, and examining their crucial roles in
modern materials research, it offers a unique resource for all
researchers who work in ultramicroscopy and/or materials research.
The book addresses the growing opportunities in this field and
introduces readers to the state of the art in charged-particle
microscopy techniques. It showcases recent advances in scanning electron
microscopy, transmission electron microscopy and helium ion microscopy,
including advanced spectroscopy, spherical-corrected microscopy,
focused-ion imaging and in-situ microscopy. Covering these and other
essential topics, the book is intended to facilitate the development of
microscopy techniques, inspire young researchers, and make a valuable
contribution to the field.
