Abstract
Four different TEM specimen preparation methods, ultramicrotomy, powder suspension, ion-milling and electropolishing, have been described and compared for diverse YBa2Cu3O7-δ samples. Based on TEM observations, defects introduced by these preparation methods are shown. The advantages and disadvantages for each method are discussed.
