Abstract

Out of all the techniques which will be discussed in this conference concerning microanalysis, the one which I will present here is the newest and cannot as yet be thought of as a viable technique. That is my main reason for putting the question mark in the title. However, performing microchemical analysis by analyzing the energy of electrons transmitted through thin specimens may have great potential at very high spatial resolution and high sensitivity and that is the reason that there is interest in the technique.
