Abstract

Abstract : In article number1700276, 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.
