Abstract
The application of focused ion beam instrumentation in the generation of three-dimensional microstructural data is described. The methodologies used to acquire and manipulate this data are explained, and the technique is illustrated by a number of examples from the material sciences. The limitations of this method, and practical pointers to the generation of meaningful data, are also discussed. © 2007 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
