Abstract

In article number 1700276, Erdmann Spiecker and co-workers present a versatile approach that provides a general routine for the extensive and advanced 3D characterization of micro- and nanoparticles. The method, involving the transfer of individual particles onto tailored tips using a conventional scanning electron microscope equipped with a micromanipulator, enables damage- and contamination-free preparation of freestanding particles and is demonstrated for 360° electron tomography of micro-/macroporous zeolite micrometer-sized particles and mesoporous alpha-hematite nanoparticles.
