Inhaltsangabe

Transmission electron microscopy is a powerful tool for looking at small physical specimens from nanomaterials, metal alloys and other structural materials, to microorganisms, tissues and biomacromolecules. The book covers microscope design and explains how the miscoscope functions and operates. It provides the essential theoretical and practical information in a compact manner together with case studies and a summary of good operator practices.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Andrzej Żak is assistance professor at Wroclaw University of Science and Technology (WUST) in Wroclaw, Poland. His work is focused on producing new solutions for in-situ transmission electron microscopy (TEM), including dedicated specimen holders, microscopy hardware, and solutions for image analysis. During his work as head of the microscopy facility, he was involved in training new users and designing and performing imaging experiments for a wide community of local researchers. For this reason, he has worked in many fields of science, from those related to nanomaterials, through metal alloys and other structural materials, to the microscopy of liquid samples, microorganisms, tissues, and biomacromolecules. During his work and partly as part of his interests, he often brought electron microscopes from the '70-'90s back to life. He participated in the design and creation of a local center for cryogenic microscopy (cryoEM) and the construction of a TEM microscope dedicated to light-induced research. He is the author of over 70 scientific publications, patent applications, and patents, as well as over 30 research reports for external companies. He participated in many scientific projects, always related to the use of electron microscopy techniques. He is a fellow of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education (Poland) and the Kosciuszko Foundation (USA). As part of his scientific internships, he worked at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), University Duisburg-Essen, and Brandenburgische Technische Universität Cottbus-Senftenberg (BTU).
