4-0 out of 5 stars Top of the class
This 4-volume set of paperback books provides a thorough and readable introduction to the science and practice of TEM (transmission electron microscopy).The text is divided into short, digestable sections, each accompanied by figures, graphs and plots.The equations are numerous, but well explained and presented with minimal derivations but full explanations.The books are divided into concise sections making it easy for the reader to find what he/she needs.Overall, a perfect textbook to learn about TEM, and as a reference for those more experienced in this field.

5-0 out of 5 stars Seems like the best TEM book
Good for both beginners and advanced users. Easy to read and well organized. It looks like there are some mistakes in some equations but it is the best TEM book available.

5-0 out of 5 stars Excellent introduction to TEM
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.

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 complicatedscience of electron microscopy in a simple (but not oversimplified!)language. The book covers all major aspects of transmission electronmicroscopy, and contains excellent illustrations. This book is certainly apriceless asset for students. It is recommended as one of thebest books at the beginning and intermediate level. If you are looking fora book to learn TEM, get this one, you will never regret! ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Excellent EM primer
I actually had the opportunity to receive instruction from Prof. Bozzola in both Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), and acquired the book for those reasons.It is not common to find even a textbook with such well-detailed instructions from beginning level to advanced for a myriad of topics in the field.Of course, there is a very significant focus on biological applications, so some portions of the book are not entirely relevant to materials science folks like myself.This book covers the basics of optics, sample preparation, imaging, photography and film developing, and specifics about both TEMs and SEMs.This book is a very good investment for anyone intending to perform work with such instruments.

Editorial Review

Book Description
Plant microtechnique has generated renewed interest in recent years, due in part to the need for molecular biologists to visualize a gene or gene product in the context of the whole plant. Plant Microtechnique and Microscopy offers uniquely in-depth coverage of this reinvigorated field. Thoroughly covering classical aspects of microscope slide preparation, it goes a step beyond all other available manuals by also documenting the theory and practice of modern applications.The text opens with single-page "Quick Start" protocols that provide students with fundamental instructions to complete eight of the most common microtechnique protocols used today. The following sections cover the theory and practice of microtechnique. The traditional paraffin method is demonstrated by explicit step-by-step protocols, and theoretical background is incorporated to give students the tools required to design their own experiments and to interpret existing results. In addition, modern applications such as methacrylate embedding and sectioning, microwave tissue processing, fluorescence histochemistry, and in situ hybridization are discussed in detail. The manual also contains a definitive chapter on microscopy and describes, in both text and diagrams, the optical principles of techniques such as phase contrast and DIC as well as confocal and deconvolution wide-field microscopy. Appendices on laboratory practice (chemical toxicities, common calculations, and buffer tables), an extensive appendix on optics and its application to the microscope, and an extensive bibliography of over 550 references are also included. Ideal for courses in plant biology, Plant Microtechnique and Microscopy also serves as an indispensable reference for all students of microscopy, histology, and histological technique. It is a valuable addition to every biological laboratory. ... Read more

Book Description
The scanning tunneling microscope and the atomic force microscope, both capable of imaging and manipulating individual atoms, were crowned with the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1986, and are the cornerstones of nanotechnology today. The first edition of this book has nurtured numerous beginners and experts since 1993. The second edition is a thoroughly updated version of this 'bible' in the field. The second edition includes a number of new developments in the field. Non-contact atomic-force microscopy has demonstrated true atomic resolution. It enables direct observation and mapping of individual chemical bonds. A new chapter about the underlying physics, atomic forces, is added. The chapter on atomic force microscopy is substantially expanded. Spin-polarized STM has enabled the observation of local magnetic phenomena down to atomic scale. A pedagogical presentation of the basic concepts is included. Inelastic scanning tunneling microscopy has shown the capability of studying vibrational modes of individual molecules. The underlying theory and new instrumentation are added. For biological research, to increase the speed of scanning to observe life phenomena in real time is a key. Advanced in this direction is presented as well. The capability of STM to manipulate individual atoms is one of the cornerstones of nanotechnology. The theoretical basis and in particular the relation between tunneling and interaction energy are thoroughly presented, together with experimental facts. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Great resource for amateur STM designers
This may be a good resource for professionals also - but they'll have to speak for themselves. As an amateur, I found the instrumentation section extremely valuable. It is primarily because of that section that I give the text 5 stars. After plowing through a great many journal papers I eventually found that most of the theory and practice of building an STM had in fact been nicely distilled by Chen. There are some minor mistakes (e.g. discrepencies between the text and some figures), but nothing critical that I could see. A number of disparate but relevant prerequisite topics are addressed in the appendices with moderate success.
If there is a peer or superior alternative to the instrumentation and design aspects of STMs, I would love to hear of it! ... Read more

4-0 out of 5 stars Good intro to the instrument
I don't need to use the microscope, I just need to understand the instrument and the 3D images it produces. This book gave me the introduction I wanted.

It starts with a brief discussion the basics: illumination, scanning, and rejecting out-of-plane light. The next chapter describes a bit more about the pieces that go into the instrument and a little about the optical theory. That chapter is nowhere near what an instrument designer would need to know. It does, however, give a user enough information to use the tool effectively. The next sections discuss fluorescence, including the problems that arise when handling long and short wavelengths at through the same optics, and a little about specimen prepration using nanoparticles. The final sections briefly discuss applications and possibilities for the future of confocal microscopy.

The authors do not have much to say about specific protocols for specific applications - the level is more general and centered more on the microscope itself. Anyone who wants a how-to book for the lab bench is going to be disappointed. I wanted different information, and I got what I wanted from it.

Product Description

This text on contemporary optical systems is intended for optical researchers and engineers, graduate students and optical microscopists in the biological and biomedical sciences. This second edition contains two completely new chapters. In addition most of the chapters from the first edition have been revised and updated. The book consists of three parts: The first discusses high-aperture optical systems, which form the backbone of optical microscopes. An example is a chapter new in the second edition on the emerging field of high numerical aperture diffractive lenses which seems to have particular promise in improving the correction of lenses. In this part particular attention is paid to optical data storage. The second part is on the use of non-linear optical techniques, including nonlinear optical excitation (total internal reflection fluorescence, second and third harmonic generation and two photon microscopy) and non-linear spectroscopy (CARS). The final part of the book presents miscellaneous techniques that are either novel or well known but finding new applications. An example of the latter is photonic force microscopy that is now rapidly becoming an exciting and indispensable tool in shedding light on the inner working of certain cells or measuring nano-mechanical properties of single molecules.

Book Description

Written by three leading experts in the field, this textbook describes and explains all aspects of the scanning probe microscopy. Emphasis is placed on the experimental design and procedures required to optimize the performance of the various methods. Scanning Probe Microscopy covers not only the physical principles behind scanning probe microscopy but also questions of instrumental designs, basic features of the different imaging modes, and recurring artifacts. The intention is to provide a general textbook for all types of classes that address scanning probe microscopy. Third year undergraduates and beyond should be able to use it for self-study or as textbook to accompany a course on probe microscopy. Furthermore, it will be valuable as reference book in any scanning probe microscopy laboratory. Novel applications and the latest important results are also presented, and the book closes with a look at the future prospects of scanning probe microscopy, also discussing related techniques in nanoscience. Ideally suited as an introduction for graduate students, the book will also serve as a valuable reference for practising researchers developing and using scanning probe techniques.

4-0 out of 5 stars Solid Background to SPM
Scanning Probe Microscopy: The Lab on a Tip by Ernst Meyer covers the two main techniques of SPM: STM and AFM (here called SFM). There is also a detailed section on Magnetic Force Microscopy(MFM). There are shorther sections on the less well known techniques, i.e. friction force microsocpy, SNOM, etc. The books covers the theory well, and is reasonably up to date as I write in 2007. The figures are clear, and the few microgrpahs presented in clear greyscale. There are relatively few applications, but these are easy to find elsewhere. Overall, a great book for the theory of SPM. ... Read more

Editorial Review

Book Description
Principles and Techniques of Electron Microscopy is the standard work for biological electron microscopists wishing to learn how to prepare their specimens for electron microscopic investigation.This fully revised and expanded fourth edition includes three new chapters covering such topics as plant tissues, immunocytochemistry, and applications of microwave irradiation to microscopy. It provides practical instructions on how to process biological specimens, as well as a detailed discussion on the principles underlying the various processes.Dr. Hayat presents methods in a self-explanatory form and includes alternative procedures and points of disagreement to help the reader interpret data accurately.What sets this book apart from its competition is that it not only describes techniques but also explains their fundamental principles; that is, those chemical reactions underlying the use of various reagents for preserving and staining cellular components. ...

5-0 out of 5 stars labeling with colloidal gold conjugates
It is an excellent handbook for electron microscopy. In the section of labeling with protein A / colloidal gold, the author fails to acknowledge the original contribution on the subject: Romano EL and Romano MS: Staphylococcal protein A bound to colloidal gold: a useful reagent to label antigen-antibody sites in electron microscopy. Immunochemistry 14:711-715,1977. I think that the omission is unfair because later works by others are cited in the same section of the book ... Read more

Editorial Review

Book Description
The past decade has seen huge advances in the application of microscopy in all areas of science. This welcome development in microscopy has been paralleled by an expansion of the vocabulary of technical terms used in microscopy: terms have been coined for new instruments and techniques and, as microscopes reach even higher resolution, the use of terms that relate to the optical and physical principles underpinning microscopy is now commonplace.

The Dictionary of Microscopy was compiled to meet this challenge and provides concise definitions of over 2,500 terms used in the fields of light microscopy, electron microscopy, scanning probe microscopy, x-ray microscopy and related techniques. Written by Dr Julian P. Heath, Editor of Microscopy and Analysis (http://www.microscopy-analysis.com),  the dictionary is intended to provide easy navigation through the microscopy terminology and to be a first point of reference for definitions of new and established terms.

The Dictionary of Microscopy is an essential, accessible resource for:

  • students who are new to the field and are learning about microscopes
  • equipment purchasers who want an explanation of the terms used in manufacturers' literature
  • scientists who are considering using a new microscopical technique
  • experienced microscopists as an aide mémoire or quick source of reference
  • librarians, the press and marketing personnel who require definitions for technical reports.

5-0 out of 5 stars This is a must book for Histology
I really enjoyed the book. It goes very well with Histology courses.It gives you feeling of three dimensional pictures of real cells like photography. Since it is like a photography, it shows external views not the section throughs but you get hundered times better understanding of the structures. just look at scanning electron picture examples in your typical cell books. This book is full of them and not just plain pictures but with some explanations similar to Histology books.

5-0 out of 5 stars an indispensable reference
This is a fantastic visual reference book for anybody interested in microscopic and/or macroscopic anatomy. Most of the major systems are covered, although the tissue samples are usually taken from small mammals.The range of magnification is great, and provides the reader with a clearconcept of the structure and function of a given organ.

I'm aprofessional medical illustrator with a library of over 300 books, and thisis one of only a few "desert island" books - ones that I wouldn'twant to be without. I believe anybody with an interest in the way we'remade will find it fascinating. ... Read more

Editorial Review

Book Description

In a clear exposition this inspirational book shows the in situ three-dimensional morphology of cerebellar neurons, intracortical circuits and synaptic connections that underpin the functioning of cerebellar neurons in networks. It brings together in one volume a new view of the three-dimensional cytoarchitectonic arrangement of the cerebellar cortex.

The book shows the cerebellar extrinsic and intrinsic intracortical circuits formed by mossy and climbing fibers as exposed by the cryofracture methods. The high degree of lateral collateralization of these fibers is also displayed providing new insights on the information processing in the cerebellar cortex. Besides, field emission high resolution electron microscopy shows its potential contribution to the study of synaptic morphology. The concluding chapter deals with the contribution of scanning electron microscopy to cerebellar neurobiology.

This monograph is an authoritative survey and a must for anyone who is interested in the structure of the central nervous system. It will also appeal to an interdisciplinary audience who wants to learn more about electron microscopy and neurocytology.
