Scanning transmission electron microscope tomography and atom-probe tomography are
both three-dimensional techniques on the nanoscale. We demonstrate here the combination
of the techniques by analyzing the very same volume of an Al–Ag alloy specimen. This
comparison allows us to directly visualize the theoretically known artifacts of each technique
experimentally, providing insight into the optimal parameters to use for reconstructions and
assessing the quality of each reconstruction. The combination of the techniques for accurate …
