Elemental composition through a granule cross section by EDX analysis. (a) STEM image of the analyzed cell; the path of the probe is shown as an orange line. (b) The EDX line spectra across the cell shown in (a). Each element is plotted in a different color. (c) The individual EDX point spectrum from the location specified in (a) by a cross with the number 1 and in (b) by a vertical line.
