field ion microscope ion microscope microscope			Using a field-ion microscope that could identify the positions of individual lead atoms in the alloy, he and DeArdo determined the mechanism. Tin replaces lead in automobile steel by Wu, C. / Science News He also predicted that the exchange mechanism would produce a distinctive pattern of sites visited by a diffusing atom, and that this pattern should be apparent in data compiled from field-ion microscope observations.
