The first textbook for graduate students to explain the imaging mechanism of STEM in detail as well as TEM

Straightforward description focusing on imaging of TEM and STEM, by relegating supporting knowledge to the appendices

Contains a consistent description of TEM and STEM imaging on the basis of Fourier transform theory

Includes appendices and exercises useful for graduate students

Includes supplementary material: [...]
