may be concluded that <strong>the</strong> <strong>in</strong>itial identification <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> fault was correct. Also <strong>the</strong><br />

fr<strong>in</strong>ges <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> bright and dark-field images are complementary and symmetrical <strong>in</strong><br />

both cases. This be<strong>in</strong>g a direct result <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> magnitude <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> anomalous absorption<br />

ratio for <strong>SiC</strong> which differs from that <strong>of</strong> heavier elements. The complementary and<br />

symmetrical nature <strong>of</strong> bright and dark-field SF images <strong>of</strong> <strong>SiC</strong> is not true <strong>in</strong> general for<br />

<strong>the</strong> heavier elements (Hirsch et al. (1965)).<br />
