Electron Microscopy

- interactions between electrons and matter
- components of an electron microscope
- scanning electron microscopy
- transmission electron microscopy
- inelastic scattering and electron energy loss spectroscopy
- elastic scattering and electron diffraction
- kinematical and dynamical theory of diffraction
- electron crystallography, 3D electron diffraction and structure determination

Students will be prepared to use electron microscopes and understand the interaction between electrons and matter. The foundations are laid to get structural information from electron diffraction experiments.
