High resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) image of a lead crystal between two crystals of aluminum (i.e., a Pb precipitate at a grain boundary in Al). The two crystals of Al have different orientations, evident from their different patterns of atom columns. Note the commensurate atom matehing of the Pb crystal with the Al crystal at right, and incommensurate atom matching at left. An isolated Pb precipitate is seen to the right. The HRTEM method is the topic of Chapter 10. Image courtesy of U. Dahmen, National Center for Electron Microscopy, Berkeley.

Preface
Aims and Scope of the Book This textbook was written for advanced undergraduate students and beginning graduate students with backgrounds in physical science. Its goal is to acquaint them, as quickly as possible, with the central concepts and some details of transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and x-ray diffractometry (XRD) that are important for the characterization of materials. The topics in this book are developed to a level appropriate for most modern materials characterization research using TEM
