This text, the standard of the field, includes an overview of such topics as the theory of image and contrast formation as well as discussion of recent progress in the field, especially in the areas of aberration corrector and energy filtering.
The aim of this monograph is to outline the physics of image formation, electron-specimen interactions, and image interpretation in transmission el- tron microscopy. Since the last edition, transmission electron microscopy has undergone a rapid evolution. The introduction of monochromators and - proved energy ?lters has allowed electron energy-loss spectra with an energy resolution down to about 0.1 eV to be obtained, and aberration correctors are now available that push the point-to-point resolution limit down below 0.1 nm. After the untimely death of Ludwig Reimer, Dr. Koelsch from Springer- Verlag asked me if I would be willing to prepare a new edition of the book. As it had served me as a reference for more than 20 years, I agreed without hesitation. Distinct from more specialized books on speci?c topics and from books intended for classroom teaching, the Reimer book starts with the basic principles and gives a broad survey of the state-of-the-art methods, comp- mented by a list of references to allow the reader to ?nd further details in the literature. The main objective of this revised edition was therefore to include the new developments but leave the character of the book intact. The presentation of the material follows the format of the previous e- tion as outlined in the preface to that volume, which immediately follows. A few derivations have been modi?ed to correspond more closely to modern textbooks on quantum mechanics, scattering theory, or solid state physics.

From the reviews of the fifth edition:
"A classical monograph on the physics of image formation, electron-specimen interactions, and image interpretation in transmission electron microscopy. ... the student and the instructor can find applications of many fundamental concepts of physics in this book. ... could be used, of course by scientists in the field of transmission electron microscopy and by students attending a summer school on the technique. ... In conclusion, this book will probably be found in libraries and on the shelves of the expert in transmission electron microscopy ... ." (Gary J.
