| By: David B. Williams, C. Barry Carter ISBN: 030645324X Publisher: Springer Release Date: 31 August, 2004 Bioscience book rank: 49772 | 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. 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. 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.<p>Time has marched on, and this book is the new replacement for both!<p>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. <p>This book is the best way to get a quick grasp of TEM. | |

| By: Joseph Goldstein, Dale E. Newbury, David C. Joy, Charles E. Lyman, Patrick Echlin, Eric Lifshin, L.C. Sawyer, J.R. Michael ISBN: 0306472929 Publisher: Springer Release Date: February, 2003 Bioscience book rank: 76292 | This book is a comprehensible review of principles and methods of SEM and X-ray microanalysis write in a single and elegant language. The authors avoid using mathematical formulas in the description and demonstration which turn it an atractive book to all scientists and even the beginners. This ought to be the dream book of those who do SEM imaging. The first half or say first five/six chapters are solely devoted to fundamentals of SEMs and the rest of the chapters are dealing generation of X-rays and concentrate on EDS. I have not yet finished reading this book. But certainly recommend to other SEM users to possess this book and read it as and when required. The book is very good. I can learn a lot about the SEM from this book. The cd has also some interesting pictures, additional information. | |

| By: John J. Bozzola, Lonnie Dee Russell ISBN: 0763701920 Publisher: Jones & Bartlett Publishers Release Date: October, 1998 Bioscience book rank: 411406 | This book is a very good technical introduction to the electron microscopy of biological samples. Good figures and schemes help to understand the text. Photos of different types of samples are also adequate to illustrate the methods. The book is an excellent manual for beginners and biologists find it useful and easy to read. This book is excellent for beginners and advanced microscopists. It offers fine details and tricks about techniques as well as the theory behind it. There are lots of pictures and schematics for each descriptions. It is also useful for microscopist that want to learn more about different methods. I definitively recommend it! 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. | |

| By: S. J. B. Reed ISBN: 052184875X Publisher: Cambridge University Press Release Date: 01 May, 2006 Bioscience book rank: 670246 | This book is great for someone who has a little background in physics and calculus. It gives a good breakdown of how the probe works and what kinds of analyses it works best for. This is not an in-depth book on quatitative analyses, but rather, an excellent place to start! | |

| By: Joachim Frank ISBN: 0195182189 Publisher: Oxford University Press, USA Release Date: 02 February, 2006 Bioscience book rank: 196187 | This concise and easy to read book is essentialy a crash course in single particle reconstruction by electron microscopy. It isn't exactly a how-to manual, more an overview of how the whole process works. Thus, it is useful not only to someone who wants to learn how to do this, but also to those who might be interested in deciding if this technique would be useful to them. And actually, the whole topic is sufficiently cool that I would recommend the book even to people who know they will never use this technique, just because its fun to read about it. The book is clearly written and doesn't assume alot of prior knowledge. A basic undergrad education in math would be enough to handle the equations. | |

| By: John Kuo ISBN: 1588295737 Publisher: Humana Press Release Date: 27 February, 2007 Bioscience book rank: 836178 | This book covers pretty much all of the modern techniques used in biological electron microscopy. It emphasizes the availability of many protocols for both Transmission and Scanning EM. Every chapter has a detailed protocol and a full list of accompanying references, in case the reader wants to know more about a specific topic/technique. <br /> <br />It is highly recommended for every student, lab tech, or researcher that wants to have an overview of the existing modern techniques or dare trying a new technique. It's format, with its 600+ pages is not very practical as a lab handbook, but the content information of strict high quality. <br /> <br />I have more than 10yrs of experience in biological cryo-EM, and I find this book a very useful addition to my ever growing collection. | |

| By: ROBERT J. KEYSE ISBN: 0387915176 Publisher: Springer Release Date: 1998 Bioscience book rank: 902818 | This book gave me a quick and readable introduction to the STEM. Good work on the writers' part.<p>However, this is a short book, and doesn't go into much detail. It would be a good book for someone just starting out in STEM, but anyone with STEM experience might find only a few bits and pieces of the book enlightening. | |
