Grounded in reality  
There are a number of books on TEM, and many are good. However, this book provides a fresh angle for someone learning the subject for the first time because it focuses on what you need to know in order to carry out experiments. Obviously, there is a lot of theory about lenses and scattering. However, there are also dozens of "factoids" such as common lens settings, and most the frequent errors in field emission guns -- and how to handle those errors. My mixing the practical day to day technician's data with the more theoretical underpinning which is my wont, I found it got me up to speed and functional is a very short time. Now experieience with TEMs can carry me the rest of the way.

Top of the class  
This 4-volume set of paperback books provides a thorough and readable introduction to the science and practice of TEM (transmission electron microscopy). The text is divided into short, digestable sections, each accompanied by figures, graphs and plots. The equations are numerous, but well explained and presented with minimal derivations but full explanations. The books are divided into concise sections making it easy for the reader to find what he/she needs. Overall, a perfect textbook to learn about TEM, and as a reference for those more experienced in this field.

Seems like the best TEM book  
Good for both beginners and advanced users. Easy to read and well organized. It looks like there are some mistakes in some equations but it is the best TEM book available.

Excellent introduction to TEM  
In the 70's and 80's the book by Hirsch et al. was the TEM reference tome, and Eddington's book the applications manual.

Time has marched on, and this book is the new replacement for both!

Carter and Williams wrote a very easy to read, yet well detailed, text and reference for TEM. They cover quite literally everything, in just the right level of detail for 1st or 2nd year grad students.

This book is the best way to get a quick grasp of TEM.
