pubmed:abstractText
Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) is a well-established technique to explore matter down to the atomic scale. TEM tomography methods have been developed to obtain volume information at the mesoscopic dimensions of devices or complex mixtures of multiphase objects with nanometer resolution, but these methods are in general only applicable to relatively thin specimens with a few hundred nanometer thickness at most. Here we introduce an approach based on scanning TEM (STEM) tomography that pushes the resolution in three dimensions down to a few nanometers for several micrometer ultrathick specimens using a conventional TEM with 300 kV accelerating voltage, and we demonstrate its versatility for materials research and nanotechnology.
