Specimen Preparation of Thin Crystalline Fibers for Transmission Electron Microscopy
Keyword(s):
ABSTRACTA technique was developed to prepare crystalline fibers of less than 1 mm diameter for transmission electron microscopy. Cross sections were made by casting a short piece of the fiber in an epoxy resin, sectioning the block, and laminating the slices against thin glass discs for stability before dimpling. Longitudinal sections were reinforced in a similar manner. TEM tungsten rings were sometimes used as an alternative method to add stability to the longitudinal sections. The technique was especially developed for Bi-Sr-Ca-Cu-O compounds but is also suitable for other materials.
