Examining variations in mineral chemistry can shed light on changes in volcanic activity, and allow researchers to obtain timescales of volcanic processes to better understand any potential hazards. Atom probe tomography allows an unprecedented 3D

Analysis of the morphology, composition, and spacing of exsolution lamellae can provide essential information to understand geological processes related to volcanism and metamorphism. We present a novel application of APT for the characterization of such lamellae and compare this approach to the conventional use of electron microscopy and FIB-based nanotomography.
