Abstract
The steps that are required to perform an atom probe analysis and the experimental factors that affect the performance of the instrument are described in this chapter. Since atom probe tomography is a destructive technique, it is essential that these factors be taken into consideration before starting an atom probe experiment in order to obtain quantitative data.
