What is it about?

The state-of-the-art of the technique of Electron probe microanalysis (EPMA) is reviewed. Recent advancements allow the extension of the method to the analysis of trace elements, ultra-light elements, small particles, and thin films, with a high degree of accuracy and precision and within a considerably reduced volume of interaction. A number of working examples and a thorough list of references provide the reader with a working knowledge of the capabilities and limitations of EPMA today.
