Multimodal X-ray and Electron Microscopy of the Allende Meteorite

A STROBE team from UCLA, Berkeley and Boulder developed a nanoscale multimodal X-ray and electron microscopy framework that is applicable to a wide range of inhomogeneous samples with complex structural and chemical properties. Using an Allende meteorite as an example, we performed structural and chemical mapping to infer the mineral composition and its potential processes. This work opens a route to future microscopies of complex materials.
