Can TEM be used to image amorphous sections and grain boundaries, specifically crystal boundaries of anatase TiO2?

I am studying the annealing process of TiO2 nanorods (1um tall, 50nm wide) as they convert from amorphous to anatase, and it would be useful to 'see' the amorphous portions. I'm using selected...

How do I best prepare a TEM sample of titanium dioxide nanorods to get a cross-section of a single rod to see variations in the crystalline structure?

I have nanorods grown by oblique angle deposition at 85 degree tilt angle, annealed in oxygen at 550°. The rods are approximately 50nm to 100nm wide by 400nm long, and primarily in the anatase...
