Nanoscale chemical imaging of a working catalyst
     by scanning transmission X-ray microscopy

Using a specially designed nanoreactor and scanning transmission X-ray microscopy, de Smit et al. have achieved direct imaging of an iron-based Fisher–Tropsch catalyst with nanometre-resolution and reveal how changes in the catalyst correlate with its activity.
