Electron Microscopy XIV

This volume forms the Proceedings of the XIV International Conference on Electron Microscopy (EM2011) held in Wisła, Poland from 26 to 30 June 2011. The goal of the Conference was to provide a forum where researchers from different countries could exchange their last achievements in the field of structural studies with the use of electron microscopy techniques applied to many different materials. Plenary and invited lectures gave overviews on exciting new developments highlighting the application of the new electron microscopy techniques in physics, chemistry, materials science, life and earth science. Above 160 delegates from all over the world (Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Germany, Great Britain, Hungary, Japan, Holland, Slovakia, Spain, Ukraine and USA) participated in the EM2011. During the conference 13 oral sessions took place and 49 presentations were given basically on electron, holography, tomography, HREM, STEM, EBSD, ED and precession techniques as well as their application in material sciences and other related disciplines. After the reviewing process 77 were accepted for publication in this issue of the Solid State Phenomena. temporary description, more details to follow
