Abstract

High resolution microscopy of ceramics has its specific problems due to the difficulties in preparing thin foils. Most of these Problems however can be overcome and recent years a lot of effort has been concentrated on electron microscopy of ceramics because of their high technological importance. Some results on important ceramics such as SiC, Mg-Si-O, ZrO2 -ZrN and Si-Al-O-N obtained by high resolution microscopy will be briefly discussed here.
