Correct choice and application of relatively simple techniques can provide a wealth of information about the structure of a material.  The descriptions below provide background information about the methods used to analyse the layers shown in the 'applications' section.  

Cross sectional polishing - direct observation of sample structure

Bevel sectioning - angled polishing to enhance resolution of microscopy

Ball cratering - rapid measurement of surface films and layers
