TEM is the method of choice for analysis of materials at atomic scale at point resolution below 0.1nm allowing interpretation of positions of atoms e.g. at interfaces. However, the phases are lost, and hence the electric and magnetic fields in the object. Phase-loss is overcome by electron holography [1]. This allows access to **Inner Potentials in solids **Functional potentials such as pn-junctions **Electric fields controlling growth in biominerals **Depolarizing fields in ferroelectrics **Magnetic fields in magnetic structures **difference of atomic numbers **number of atoms in an atomic column **Coherence of inelastically scattered electrons Lateral resolution of 0.1nm is reached. Phase resolution presently is about 2p/70, just at the edge for detecting interatomic electric fields. [1] H. Lichte, M. Lehmann, Rep. Prog. Phys. 71 (2008), 016102.
