Spin structure relation to phase contrast imaging of isolated magnetic Bloch and Neel skyrmions (vol 212, 112973, 2020)

Several errors are present in the text and Fig. 3 of the article Ultramicroscopy 212 (2020) 112973. This includes minor confusions concerning the skyrmion helicities and a wrong orientation of a color wheel that represents the electron phase gradient direction. Further, the presented correction factors for finite probe sizes were based on an erratic simulation which is now corrected. This leads to different error values for the measured skyrmion size. These flaws do not affect the main message of the paper which is the relation of the skyrmion structure with the electron phase at all. They only affect the small section of the proof of principle skyrmion size measurement where aberrations were included.

Automated summary

There are several errors in the text and Fig. 3 of the article on Ultramicroscopy 212 (2020) 112973, including minor confusions about skyrmion helicities and a wrong orientation of a color wheel. The correction factors for finite probe sizes have been based on an erratic simulation, leading to different error values for the measured skyrmion size. However, these flaws do not impact the main message of the paper.
