Abstract
We have seen in Chapter 3 that significant advances have been made in both instrumentation and data processing tools for surface analysis. There has been a dramatic shift from 2- to 3-D analysis, and although the uptake of 3-D technology is still disappointing within industry, there is some evidence to suggest that 3-D systems will become widespread in industry even in the near future (Dong et al., 1994a).
