Steve,
First time I have ever heard someone asking for a TEM for a surface finish!
I know that at least in certain instances TEM can be used for determining crystal structure, but my return question is “what would be the point?”.
XRF, x-section, EDX and solderability testing should be sufficient.

IF you do want TEM done, approach the University of Toronto or CANMET in Hamilton.

Regards,
Bev

Subject: [TN] TEM Analysis

Hi all,
One of my customers has asked me to do a TEM analysis on immersion tin pads on a flex we make.

 1.  what will this tell me that XRF, x-section and EDX does not
 2.  If it does tell me something – suggestions of a source to get the work done.

Thanks. Steve Kelly
