A method for preparing powdered specimens for transmission electron microscopy

Open publisher page 12 citations

Abstract

Abstract A new method of preparing TEM samples from powders is described. The method consists of compacting epoxy‐powder composite mixtures in special molds by centrifuging prior to polymerization. The compact is then ion milled by standard methods. Samples prepared in this way are currently being used to study dislocation structures developed during processing of ceramic powders.
