As-received specimens can be examined after

This requirement is usually met by the application of conven

The area for analysis should be homogeneous over a region, typically a few micrometres in diameter, around the electron beam.ISO 22309:2011(E) ISO 2011 All rights reserved 5BS ISO 22309:20114.3 Solid specimens can be reduced to an appropriate size, m

Complete removal of all scratches is not essential, provided areas for analysis are clean and relief-free.Damage to the specimen during preparation should be avoided. Potential damage mechanisms include:a) the effects of lubricant;b) the removal of second phases (precipitates);c) differential polishing of phases with different hardness, thus introducing relief to the surface;d) strai
