Introduction to TEM

This lecture covers the fundamentals of transmission electron microscopy (TEM), including electron diffraction, imaging modes, and specimen preparation. It explores the history of electron microscopy, the properties of electrons, and the resolving power of microscopes. The lecture also delves into the types of electron microscopes, their signals, and the interaction of high-energy electrons with matter. Additionally, it discusses the operation modes of TEM, contrast mechanisms, and high-resolution imaging. The presentation concludes with a look at high-resolution TEM, its capabilities, and the bibliography related to TEM.
