Scanning Transmission Electron Microscopy

<p><em><strong>Scanning Transmission Electron Microscopy</strong></em> is focused on discussing the latest approaches in the recording of high-fidelity quantitative annular dark-field (ADF) data. It showcases the application of machine learning in electron microscopy and the latest advancements in image processing and data interpretation for materials notoriously difficult to analyze using scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM). It also highlights strategies to record and interpret large electron diffraction datasets for the analysis of nanostructures.</p><p>This book:</p><ul> <p> </p> <li>Discusses existing approaches for experimental design in the recording of high-fidelity quantitative ADF data </li> <p> </p> <li>Presents the most common types of scintillator-photomultiplier ADF detectors along with their strengths and weaknesses.
