Abstract

Scanning electron probe microanalysis has grown over the pastthree decades into a powerful technique for the microchemicalcharacterisation of materials. This paper describes the principles andvarious features of a typical microanalyser, and illustrates its uniquecapabilities in the study of materials by means of selected case histories.
