Recently Dr. Meiken Falke the Global Product Manager for EDS on TEM and SEM with Bruker Nano Analytics presented the topic "Colorful Quantities of Matter" during a larger formatted program. We are going to share her portion here so you can gain insights from her talk. Her presentation is on adding color to electron microscope data using spectroscopy and diffraction. Talking about not just coloring in each type of atom but counting  them one by one and studying their geometric arrangement in complex structures.
