"An exceptional collection of 12 chapters describing several types
and techniques of microscopy that are the basis of modern
microstructural analysis in materials science. Although each of the
topics covered is broad, the authors have generally provided
complete introductions, with numerous examples showing the present
state of the art. With their extensive references, the chapters
also serve as a guide to further information . . . All of the
chapters are
written in a clear style well suited to the nonexpert reader . . .
. This book indeed provides a delightful view into the world of
materials." --Science
"Today's fine-structure imaging . . . is remarkably many-sided.
Each of the dozen chapters in this book is a state-of-the-art
overview of one pictorial discipline by an expert author or a small
group. Their welcome practice is to break off some highly technical
explication full of acronyms and urge the nonspecialist reader to
attend instead to the images overleaf. The level of the text
remains demanding; this is a resource for materials scientists, but
opened
for others through its uncommon visuals. Virtuosity abounds."
--Scientific American
"Almost a necessity for anyone involved in metallography."
--Choice
"A valuable resource for all microscopists, or prospective
microscopists, who wish to learn more about the bewildering range
of techniques currently available. . . .The standard of
reproduction of micrographs is extremely high and the layout is
attractive. . . .This is the most comprehensive introduction to
modern microscopy currently available. . . . The beauty of many of
the micrographs reproduced here demonstrates the aesthetic as well
as the scientific
rewards which can be gained by looking ever more closely at the
materials which surround us." --Inst. of Materials Journal
"The authors . . . are eminently qualified to represent their
fields, reviewing a selection of microscopy-based techniques
available to the materials scientist . . . . The production quality
of the book is excellent, as is the reproduction of micrographs."
--New Scientist
"It has many characteristics of a text or reference book surveying
the currently available microscopy techniques for the imaging of
structures in materials. At the same time, as the editors suggest,
it 'celebrates the beauty of the structures of the materials-' with
its superb reproduction of the images." --Microscopy Society of
American Bulletin
"An excellent resource. The fine images will provide a visual
vocabulary for the microscopies covered (SEM, TEM, STM,
scanning-ion, light, and acoustic microscopy). The text too is well
judged, having a lighter and smoother tone than a textbook.
Principles and ideas are indicated without complexity or
mathematics. The microscopists who produced this beautiful book
should be proud of it. Those who did not contribute to it should
buy it or produce a rival
book of their own." --Microscopy Research and Technique
"You will find good concise descriptions, written by people who
know their stuff, of convergent beam electron diffraction and atom
probe field ion microscopy and aspects of image processing and
high-resolution TEM. You will find a lot of pictures, many of them
very informative and taken with ahgreat deal of skill."
--Engineering Structures and Materials and Design
"A wide range of examples of each technique us given. The quality
of the micrographs is outstanding. . . . include some spectacular
reflected-light micrographs . . . as well as false-colour images
made by techniques such as electron probe and SIMS element mapping
and STM. The black and white micrographs are also of a very high
standard." --Journal of Microscopy
"Good concise descriptions, written by people who know their stuff.
You will find a lot of pictures, many of them very informative and
taken with a great deal of skill. You will most probably find
something to interest you -- I did. The subject matter of this book
is thus of great importance." --Peter Goodhew, Materials and Design
