'A very complete review of all work performed in reflection electron microscopy with an exhaustive bibliography … It forms an exciting support for the understanding of surface studies by reflection electron microscopy. Illustrated by many beautiful and pertinent REM images and well-designed line drawings, this book should certainly be useful for graduate students and scientists working on surface characterization.' Andre Rocher, Measurement Science & Technology
