This chapter provides an excellent introduction to materials characterization and provides a few nicely chosen examples of the application of materials characterization. Chapter 9 Transmission and Analytical Electron Microscopy is the longest chapter in the book extending to 141 pages which is nearly twice the length of any other chapter. This chapter also introduces X-ray and electron diffraction, and this is done in the context of the transmission electron microscope (TEM) before the instrument is discussed in a later chapter. Graph Material Scientists and Engineers depend on understanding the relationships between processing, structure, properties and finally performance, daily. [Extracted from the article]
