## Abstract Ultramicrotomy has been used to prepare TEM cross‐sections of typical hard dielectric, semiconductor, and metal coatings, providing a critical capability in the study of structure‐property relationships of thin films. Ultramicrotomy of thin film coatings requires meticulous attention to
The preparation of TEM cross-section samples from multilayer films or poorly adhering films is discussed in detail in a step-by-step approach designed to enable a competent experimentalist to reproduce the technique. The samples are mounted on an aperture grid and mechanically polished to 2-3 micron
