Second phase particles in alloys are important for the properties of metallic materials. The morphology and chemical composition of the particles are critical for researchers to understand the natures and the roles of these particles. With cutting-edge electron microscope, we can map the distribution of the alloying elements over a particle. A very beautiful particle was observed in a special steel during an experiment which made it appear like a little heart of zirconium was enclosed in a vanadium cubic box.
