Three-dimensional coordinates of individual atoms in materials revealed by electron tomography

Abstract

Electron tomography is used to create a 3D reconstruction of a tungsten needle that allows the positions of individual atoms to be localized with a precision of 19 picometres, without using averaging or assuming the sample crystallinity.
