Seeing with Electrons

Synopsis: Centres on the investigation of advanced ceramic materials and the possibliities offered by energy-filtering electron microscopy to understand and solve technological problems encountered with these new materials. Image formation and energy selection are illustrated using BCU views of the microscope’s interior and 3-D animation. Discusses a 1.2MeV transmission electron microseope that can give atomic resolution and the principles of scanning tunneling micrscopy as a means of ‘seeing’ surface topography on an atomic scale.

Notes: NB. As of May 2016 Open University Worldwide are no longer distributing DVDs. They have posted this message on their website: ‘Unfortunately Open University Worldwide Limited has decided that product sales are no longer viable given the reduced funding to Higher Education institutions and diminishing demand for the products we have traditionally stocked. At present the Open University Students Association (OUSA) will continue to sell the "Good Study Guide", and we are in discussion with other possible distributors to continue to make The Open University’s products available for purchase. As soon as we have any information on other channels of distribution we will update this notice’. Some products are still available via second hand dealers on Amazon.co.uk
