Abstract
A procedure is described which can be used to correct atom-probe data for losses due to the detector dead time. The accuracy of the procedure is verified by comparing the experimental isotope distributions of Fe and C with tabulated values. It is also shown that a tilted detector can be used to increase the multi-hit detectivity.
