  • Application of principal component analysis (PCA) and factor rotations for data analysis.
  • Segmentation refinement by overlaying identified voxels on high-resolution secondary electron (SE) images.

    • Main Results:

    • PCA significantly improved data quality and enabled the creation of abstract components.
    • Rotated components facilitated interpretation and generated qualitative elemental/compound abundance maps without prior sample knowledge.
    • Interactive identification of material domains through scatter diagrams and clustering of voxels with similar compositions.

    Conclusions:

    • MSA methods, particularly PCA and factor rotations, offer a fast and reliable approach for segmenting 3D spectral data.
    • The developed segmentation strategy aids in accurate 3D reconstruction of complex microstructures.
    • The results demonstrate a significant advancement in processing microanalytical spectral data for materials characterization.
