In recent years, the analytical methods using an electron microscope have made huge advances. A lot of progress was made for new high-end analytics due to the development of new detectors, electronics, high-end multi core PCs which can handle new algorithms even in real-time with the measurements. The first results and impressions can be achieved immediately after starting the measurement. This article will show some examples related to the new techniques and will give an impression of EDS, WDS and EBSD related to the examples used.
