Transmission electron microscopy is an excellent tool to investigate the structure and composition of a wide variety of nanomaterials. Unfortunately, metal halide perovskites are extremely sensitive to electron beam irradiation. For example, Pb clusters are easily formed, which hamper a further reliable analysis of the structure. In this talk, I will discuss recent progress in the field of transmission electron microscopy, enabling one to investigate these materials with reduced damage. Moreover, I will demonstrate how these results can be interpreted in a quantitative manner, transforming images into numbers. Finally, the possibilities of extending these studies into 3 dimensions will be discussed.
