Automated Serial Sectioning Methods for Rapid Collection of 3D Microstructure Data (Preprint)

Abstract

This article presents a brief overview of current instruments for collection of microstructural data sets in three dimensions (3D) via serial sectioning. These instruments are dedicated or adapted to the task of collecting serial section data, which greatly accelerate the characterization process, and in selected systems offer the ability incorporate multi-modal data, viz. combinations of images, crystallographic and chemical maps that enable robust and automated approaches to segmentation of grains and phases.
