From the reviews of the third edition: R.F. Egerton's Electron Energy-loss Spectroscopy in the Electron Microscope is the standard text on the subject ... . The book is now very up-to-date; R.F. Egerton has clearly continued adding to the text and references up to the last minute ... . Springer have printed the book beautifully, with colour in place when needed and the references now give full details ... . EEL spectroscopists ... cannot do without this new edition.
