The process described is known as replication, where the fractured surface of a specimen is coated with a heavy metal layer deposited at an angle, and a uniform carbon layer is deposited on top of the metal layer to cement the patches of metal into a solid layer. This method is commonly used in electron microscopy to create a replica of the surface topography of the specimen.
