This lecture covers sample preparation techniques for transmission electron microscopy (TEM), including the cleaved wedge method for obtaining monocrystalline substrates, the use of ultramicrotomy for thin sectioning, and electro-chemical polishing for surface finishing. It also discusses the replica method for reproducing sample surface topography and provides insights into the challenges and advantages of each technique.
