10. Conclusion

The tomographic atom probe has now reached a certain maturity and demonstrated its relevance in clarifying the multiple and complex links between the fine-scale microstructure of materials and their properties of use . It is currently the only 3D analytical microscope producing near-atomic images from which quantitative local compositions can be extracted. It is sensitive to a very broad spectrum of elements, from hydrogen to the heaviest elements. The substitution of laser pulses for electrical ones has opened up the instrument to non-metallic materials with low electrical conductivity (oxides,...
