Microscopy : a very short introduction / Terence Allen. - 1st Ed. - United Kingdom Oxford University Press 2015 - xvi, 136 pages : illustrations ; 18 cm. - Very short introductions ; v.430 . - Very short introductions ; 430. .
Includes bibliographical references (pages 127-129) and index.
Microscopy and the discovery of a new world -- A spectrum of microscopies -- Light microscopy : from Abbe to superresolution -- Identifying what we see -- Electron microscopy and the dawn of atomic resolution -- The electron microscopy of surfaces -- Magnification by other routes -- The impact of microscopy.
Using light, electrons, or X-rays, microscopes today form a vital tool not only in biology but in many other disciplines, including materials science and nanotechnology. In this Very Short Introduction Terence Allen describes the scientific principles behind the main forms of microscopy, and the exciting new developments in the field. Beginning with a brief history of microscopy, Allen surveys the diverse and powerful forms of miscroscopes available today, illustrating how microscopy impinges on almost every aspect of our daily lives. --
