Principles of Electron Optics

The last attempt to cover systematically the whole of electron optics was made by the late Walter Glaser, whose Grundlagen der Elektronenoptik appeared in 1952; although a revised abridgement was published in the Handbuch der Physik four years later, we cannot but recognize that those volumes are closer to the birth of the subject, if we place this around 1930, than to the present day.
