New forms of imaging in science have nearly always led to major advances, especially at the nanoscale, and the pace of these developments has increased dramatically in recent decades. Many new types of microscopes have joined the traditional light microscope and the transmission and scanning electron microscopes during the past two decades. In the present volumes, a group of experts present comprehensive reviews of these new instruments and new versions of the older ones as well as associated techniques and draw attention to their principal areas of application. Numerous subjects are benefiting from these new tools,including semiconductor physics, medicine, molecular biology, the nanoworld in general, magnetism, and ferroelectricity. Science of Microscopy will be an indispensable guide to a wide range of scientists in university laboratories aswell as to engineers and scientists in industrial R&D departments. Full-length essays on each type of instrument or technique. Applications to both materials science and the biomedical sciences. Essay-length treatment by respected experts in each field. Covers the latest developments as well as background information for the beginning microscopist INDICE: LEEM and SPLEEM. Tomographic cryomicroscopy in TEM.
