Electron holography uses the phase information in the electron image to study the fundamental physics of matter at the micrometer to nanometer, or even to Angstrom, scale. The 32 papers reflect the steady spread of the applications from solid- state physics to materials science and the biological sciences; and new methods such as real-time holography and computed tomography of the reconstructed phase image. After outlining recent developments and general approaches, the cover the techniques and applications of holographic interference electron microscopy, and new types of electron holography such as low- energy, convergent-beam, high-resolution tilted single-sideband, and amplitude-division.
