Abstract
Characterizing a material’s microstructure comes down to determining the morphological, textural, structural, and chemical parameters of this material. To respond to a problem presented by a given material, it is necessary to define the pertinent scale for investigating its microstructure. Before beginning a microstructure investigation using transmission electron microscopy, one must first determine the results obtained at a larger scale by using several types of analyses at different locations in the material using different spatial resolutions.
