Abstract

The application of transmission electron microscopy in metallurgical studies is discussed. It is hoped that the reader will obtain an idea of what is involved in electron microscopy and some of the pitfalls to avoid. Specimen preparation techniques, analysis of the microstructure with specific examples, factors affecting quantitative analysis, and recent innovations are all discussed. Throughout, the recent advances and techniques will be emphasized. For a more complete description and background of the techniques, appropriate references are given at the end of the paper.
