M. : Science, 1983. - 320 s. The book of famous foreign scientists G. Thomas and M. J. Gorinja is devoted to the study of materials by the method of translucent electron microscopy. Based on the latest experimental and theoretical data, the physical foundations of electron microscopy and electron diffraction are presented , Contrast theory and dynamic diffraction theory in application to the study of various materials , data on the real structure of crystals and materials at the atomic resolution level. Numerous examples of such studies have been examined. For researchers, graduate students and senior students of universities interested in electron microscopy and materials science .
