Abstract

A progress report is given on our attempt to image non-metallic materials using the field ion mciroscope. Field ion images have been obtained for different forms of graphite and a Y-123 compound, and preliminary interpretations of these images are presented. While the quality of field ion images of these materials is not too bad, it is not yet good enough to observe the atomic arrangements.
