The advantages and limitations of the technique of analytical electron microscopy of thin specimens for the investigation of the metal/oxide interface are summarised. Examples are given of the application of the technique of analytical electron microscopy to the study of the oxidation of ferritic, austenitic, and 20Cr–25Ni Nb stainless steels in CO/CO2.
