Experimental analytical electron microscopy procedures for thin foils recovered from laser-heated diamond anvil cell experiments have been examined. The X ray microanalysis by an analytical electron microscope proved that spreading of the electron beam was necessary for perovskite to prevent the selective removal of elements during the electron beam irradiation. The calculated compositions are improved by using the experimentally determined K values calibrated for the foil's thickness. With this analytical procedure, recovered samples of natural pyrope garnets transformed at 30-50 GPa were examined. Iron-rich (Fe/(Fe+Mg) ∼ 0.19) pyrope garnets are transformed into orthorhombic perovskite, an unknown Al-rich phase, and stishovite at ∼30 GPa, whereas they are transformed wholly into orthorhombic perovskite at pressures ≥∼33 GPa. However, iron-poor pyrope garnets decompose into perovskite, the unknown Al-rich phase, and stishovite even at 50 GPa. This difference may be attributed to the Fe and Al contents in starting material garnets. In an iron-rich sample, alternating lamellae of orthorhombic perovskite and lithium niobate phases with the same composition suggest the metastable transformation of perovskite to lithium niobate phase.
