From page 62...
... TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY Structural Imaging Because of the ultrafine grain size of nanophase materials, transmission electron microscopy is an important tool for the direct characterization of grain-size distribution and morphologies. In addition, atomic-resolution transmission electron microscopy holds the promise for elucidating the atomic structure of nanophase interfaces in a manner difficult to achieve with other structural probes.
