Abstract

A “map” of all possible high-resolution images may be simulated for a crystalline specimen in a chosen orientation for any particular transmission electron microscope (HRTEM). These maps are useful during experimental high-resolution electron microscopy and make it possible to locate optimum imaging conditions even for foil thicknesses beyond the weak-phase object limit. Although defects such as grain boundaries are not generally periodic, image maps of perfect crystal can be used to optimize defect contrast during operation of the microscope by reference to the image of the perfect crystal neighboring the defect.
