Cross-sectional HR-TEM imaging + EDX + FIB
Cross-sectional HR-TEM with EDX and FIB is a powerful combination of sample preparation and imaging techniques. The analysis consists of three phases: 1) A cross-sectional sample is prepared with a focused ion beam (FIB) 2) The sample is imaged with a high-resolution transmission electron microscope (HR-TEM) 3) The elemental composition of the sample is determined using electron dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX).
