Errors in the Text of
Transmission Electron Microscopy and
Diffractometry of Materials
first edition

by Brent Fultz and Jim Howe

We authors have found a number of misspellings and typographical errors in the first printing of our book. We take full responsiblity for these errors, and we apologize for them. This web page identifies most all of the errors in cross-references, mathematics, science and engineering. We have not listed misspellings and typesetting errors that the reader will recognize easily, or may not care about. Please mark the following changes in your copy of the first edition.
