Title: Good INTRODUCTION; not for in-depth study
Product review: This book is a good INTRO for undergrads who are interested in VERY GENERAL aspects of Electron Microscopy, but if you're starting your grad studies on the subject, or really want to learn the different techniques it is really not useful.If you're interested in biological techniques for electron microscopy, the best and most in-depth book available on the subject is M.A. Hayat's Principles and Techniques in Electron Microscopy, which is very detailed (the 2000 edition is unavailable, but you can buy the 1993 edition or read the newest one on google books).However, if your subject of interest are the physical principles of the electron microscope (and you are a biologist), although a bit old, Sjöstrand's book Electron Microscopy of Cells and Tissues is a very good reference, as well as Wischnitzer's Introduction to Electron Microscopy and Meek's Practical Electron Microscopy for Biologists.
