Correlative light-ion microscopy of cells on glass. Color image obtained by fluorescence microscope, black-and-white image obtained by scanning ion microscope and London skyline milled by focused ion beam.
TEM sample prepared using a FIB, shown at different length scales. The two left images show the sample imaged using secondary electrons acquired on the FIB which prepared the sample. The right image showing the sample imaged using atomic resolution scanning transmission electron microscopy.
