Field-ion microscopy

TL;DR: The field ion microscope is the only instrument in existence capable of showing individual atoms on the surface of a solid as mentioned in this paper, and it can also be used to study the threedimensional structure of the material, by removing successive atom layers from the surface by the process of field evaporation.
Journal ArticleDOI
