Reducing electron beam damage through alternative STEM scanning strategies, Part I: Experimental findings

A. Velazco et al.

Summary: Highly energetic electrons in a transmission electron microscope can damage sample structures, especially in zeolites, organics, and biological materials. Investigating the role of different scan patterns in damage behavior showed significant differences in beam damage, challenging the community to rethink beam damage in (S)TEM experiments.

Event driven 4D STEM acquisition with a Timepix3 detector: Microsecond dwell time and faster scans for high precision and low dose applications

D. Jannis et al.

Summary: Four dimensional scanning transmission electron microscopy (4D STEM) records electron scattering in materials in great detail, but the requirement for 2D image recording at each probe position has long limited its speed. Recent advances in camera technology, especially direct electron detectors, have reduced this bottleneck.

4D-STEM of Beam-Sensitive Materials

Karen C. Bustillo et al.

Summary: 4DS-TEM, also known as scanning electron nanobeam diffraction, is a powerful approach to elucidate structure in soft materials that are challenging to image in transmission electron microscopes. By careful control of experimental parameters, beam damage to samples can be minimized, leading to high-quality structural images.

Live Processing of Momentum-Resolved STEM Data for First Moment Imaging and Ptychography

Achim Strauch et al.

Summary: A reformulated implementation of single-sideband ptychography allows for analysis of live detector data streams in 4D STEM, showing qualitative interpretable live results. The method is compared with other techniques and expected to improve contrast- and dose-efficient in situ imaging of weakly scattering specimens, enabling real-time optimization of instrument and specimen parameters.

Electron ptychography achieves atomic-resolution limits set by lattice vibrations

Zhen Chen et al.

Summary: Transmission electron microscopes use electrons with wavelengths of a few picometers to potentially image individual atoms in solids, but their image resolution is often reduced by lens aberrations and electron scattering. By using electron ptychography to solve these issues, researchers have achieved higher image resolution and precision in locating embedded atoms.
