MgAl{sub 2}O{sub 4}, a candidate fusion reactor material, was irradiated with Al{sup +} or Mg{sup +} ions; electron energy-loss spectra and energy-filtered plasmon images showed that metallic Al colloids are present in the ion-irradiated regions. This paper shows the subtraction of the spinel plasmon component in images using 15-eV-loss electrons in some detail.
