This is a set of resources designed to accompany an introductory course on transmission electron microscopy. The level is appropriate for students with an understanding of some elementary physics. A list of preferred topics is to be found here. The student who needs an introduction prior to studying Williams and Carter may like to read Electron Microscopy and Analysis by Goodhew, Humphreys and Beanland (3rd Edition 2000).
