3. Criteria for choosing method and equipment
Faced with such a wide range of methods, the choice is difficult. First of all, certain basic principles must be respected; then, depending on the problem - imaging, elemental analysis, chemical bonding - and the possibilities and performance of each method, criteria must be found to select one, the other or several methods to be used simultaneously or successively.

Some are dictated by common sense - but everyone knows that common sense is the result of experience - while others are less intuitive. In our opinion, the basic principles are as follows.
Always start with the simplest method that's easiest to implement: the marvellous results promised by the use of sophisticated equipment often...
