Abstract
Due to its charge compensation capabilities the imaging of insulating sample is a natural application of Helium Ion Microscopy. The imaging of biological samples often requires complicated sample preparation methods who’s influence on the sample structure is not always fully understood. In this chapter we will present a number of recent studies from the aforementioned field that make use and demonstrate the benefits of Helium Ion Microscopy for these research topics. These examples also demonstrate the large depth of focus that distinguishes the method.
