Abstract
Electron microscopy can be extended from a 2D to a 3D analysis tool by electron tomography using both traditional bright-field TEM and the more recent HAADF STEM. This allows high spatial resolution 3D analysis of catalysts in terms of structural defects, particle size distributions and overall homogeneity.
