Bringing Atom Probe Tomography to Transmission Electron Microscopes
Résumé
For the purpose of enhancing the structural insights within the three-dimensional composition fields revealed by atom probe tomography, correlative microscopy approaches, combining (scanning) transmission electron microscopy with atom probe tomography, have emerged and demonstrated their relevance. To push the boundaries further and facilitate a more comprehensive analysis of nanoscale matter by coupling numerous two-or three-dimensional datasets, there is an increasing interest in combining transmission electron microscopy and atom probe tomography into a unified instrument. This study presents the tangible outcome of an instrumental endeavour aimed at integrating atom probe tomography into a commercial transmission electron microscopy. The resulting instrument demonstrates the feasibility of combining in situ 3D reconstructions of composition fields with the detailed structural analysis afforded by transmission electron microscopy. This milestone heralds promising prospects for the convergence of these two major nanoscale microscopy techniques in the foreseeable future.
