title: Industrial problem solving with microbeam analysis.
abstract: The objective of this paper is to provide an overview of the microbeam analytical techniques and to help select the appropriate one to solve complex problems often arising in today's high-tech industries. Case histories are given to show how renowned analytical service laboratories and microbeam experts formulated their strategies to approach a real life problem, what type of conclusions were deduced from the data and, finally, how the problem was solved.
