Abstract
The atoms and bonds that make up complex solids can be identified chemically — a feat made possible by cleverly combining spectroscopic and structural information conveyed by electrons scattered through a thin sample.
Spying out the atomic organization of solid structures has long been a dream of materials scientists. They have built ever more refined microscopes to realize that dream, using probes of electrons, or of local currents or forces, to build up increasingly detailed pictures of solids.
