Series Overview

The three volumes in the PRINCIPLES OF ELECTRON OPTICS Series constitute the first comprehensive treatment of electron optics in over forty years. While Volumes 1 and 2 are devoted to geometrical optics, Volume 3 is concerned with wave optics and effects due to wave length.

Subjects Covered

Subjects covered include:

• Derivation of the laws of electron propagation from Schrödinger's equation
• Image formation and the notion of resolution
• The interaction between specimens and electrons
• Image processing
• Electron holography and interference
• Coherence, brightness, and the spectral function

Together, these works comprise a unique and informative treatment of the subject. Volume 3, like its predecessors, will provide readers with both a textbook and an invaluable reference source.
