Principles of Electron Optics: Volume 3: Wave Optics

The behaviour of beams of free electrons, released from a source and propagating through a vacuum region in some device, is of interest in many diverse fields of instrumentation and technology. The study of such beams forms the subject of electron optics, which divides naturally into geometrical optics, where effects due to wavelength are neglected, and wave optics, where these effects are considered. Volumes 1 and 2 were devoted to geometrical optics. This final volume, Principles of Electron Optic: Volume 3: Wave Optics is concerned with wave optics. A knowledge of this branch of the subject is essential in microscopy, to understand the propagation of electrons from the source to the specimen, through the latter and from it to the image plane of the instrument. It is also needed to explain all interference phenomena, notably holography, and in formal coherence theory.The second edition is revised throughout with new content on holography and interference, improved and new modes of image formation, aberration corrected imaging, simulation, and measurement, and 3D-reconstruction. Includes authoritative coverage of the fundamental theory behind electron beamsDescribes the interaction of electrons with solids and the information that can be obtained from electron-beam techniquesAddresses recent relevant research topics including new content on holography and interference, new modes of image formation, 3D reconstruction and aberration corrected imaging, simulation and measurement INDICE: 54.
