Abstract

Analytical electron microscopy techniques comprising imaging, chemical analysis and microdiffraction are described together with details of the instrumentation required. Using the analytical electron microscope (AEM), the materials scientist can gain combined chemical and crystallographic information with a spatial resolution and sensitivity not available in other imaging instruments. Examples of the application of the AEM to determine solute distribution and crystal structure data are given.
