High-resolution amplitude contrast imaging University of Antwerp
A method for performing high resolution electron microscopy of a soft matter object is described. The method comprises irradiating a soft matter object using an electron microscope having a spherical aberration correction with a substantially constant transfer function in a frequency band of thermal diffuse scattered electrons scattered at the soft matter object. The method comprises detecting the thermal diffuse scattered (TDS) electrons scattered at the soft matter, and using the detected thermal diffuse scattered electrons for deriving therefrom an image of the soft matter object.
