If you are learning EM you must have this book...,
By A Customer
This review is from: Electron Microscopy, 2nd Edition (Hardcover)
This is a great book for those entering the field of EM study. It takes you step by step through both SEM and TEM sample prep and analysis. It is packed with helpful pictures and diagrams. It will be a book you will refer to for methodology and protocal from fixation to sectioning...I really love this book.

Good INTRODUCTION; not for in-depth study,

This review is from: Electron Microscopy, 2nd Edition (Hardcover)
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.

Electron microscopy for biologists,
By
This review is from: Electron Microscopy, 2nd Edition (Hardcover)
This book is a very good technical introduction to the electron microscopy of biological samples. Good figures and schemes help to understand the text. Photos of different types of samples are also adequate to illustrate the methods. The book is an excellent manual for beginners and biologists find it useful and easy to read.
