Abstract
Electron energy‐loss near‐edge structure (ELNES) is a technique that can be used to measure the electronic structure (i.e. bonding) in materials with subnanometre spatial resolution. This review covers the theoretical principles behind the technique, the experimental procedures necessary to acquire good ELNES spectra, including potential artefacts, and gives examples relevant to materials science.Keywords
