Title: Advanced Computing in Electron Microscopy
Authors: Earl J. Kirkland
Description

This book provides a summary of methods for numerical computation of high resolution conventional and scanning transmission electron microscope images. At the limits of resolution, image artifacts due to the instrument and the specimen interaction can complicate image interpretation. Image calculations can help interpret and understand high resolution information in recorded electron micrographs. This revised edition contains new sections on recent instrumental developments and updated references. It should be useful for beginning and experienced users at the advanced undergraduate or graduate level.
