A technique is reviewed which has the capability of investigating the interaction of hydrogen with metals on an atomic scale so that the initial phases of hydrogen interaction may be studied directly. Known as Imaging Atom-Probe Spectroscopy (IAPS) this technique combines the ability of the low-temperature Field-Ion Microscope (FIM) to image a metal surface in atomic resolution, and the single atom detection capability of a time-of-flight mass spectrometer to detect all surface species, including hydrogen.
