Rapid measurement of low-order aberrations using Fourier transforms of crystalline Ronchigrams.

چکیده
The aberrations of the objective lens should be measured and adjusted to realize high spatial resolution in scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM). Here we report a method of measuring low-order aberrations using the Fourier transforms of Ronchigrams of an arbitrary crystal such as a specimen of interest. We have applied this technique to measure first- and second-order geometrical aberrations using typical standard specimens. Focus and twofold astigmatism are measured using two Ronchigrams obtained under different foci. Axial coma and threefold astigmatism are evaluated using the Fourier transforms of small subareas of a Ronchigram. The time dependences of focus and twofold astigmatism are examined using this technique for an aberration-corrected microscope.

Rapid autotuning for crystalline specimens from an inline hologram.
A method to measure the aberration function for a crystalline specimen from a single inline hologram or 'Ronchigram' by dividing it up into small patches is derived. Measurement of aberrations is demonstrated from both dynamical simulations and experimental Ronchigrams. This method should allow rapid fine-tuning on a variety of crystalline specimens and represents a key step toward active optic...
متن کاملMeasurement of Plain Weave Fabrics Density Using Fourier Transforms
Warp and weft spacing and its coefficient of variation affect the physical properties of fabrics such as fabric hand, frictional and mechanical properties. In this paper the weft and warp spacing and its coefficient of variation for plain weave is calculated using Fourier transforms. Different methods have been used in this work including autocorrelation function. First, two dimensional power s...

متن کاملFast Aberration Measurement in Multi-Dimensional STEM
The main resolution limits in high-performance (S)TEM are due to the imperfections or ‘aberrations’ of the electron lenses. Correction of these aberrations requires the ability to quickly and accurately measure lens aberrations to align or ‘tune’ an aberration-corrector. The conventional method to measure aberrations in the TEM is to record a series of bright field (BF) images in a Zemlin table...
متن کاملValidation of quantitative Ronchi test through numerical propagation.
We validate the quantitative analysis of Ronchigrams for wavefront sensing through detailed numerical simulations. Analysis of the experimental Ronchigrams provides the wavefront aberrations, the F/# of the beam and the distance of the Ronchi ruling from the paraxial focus. These retrieved parameters are used to numerically simulate the Ronchigrams with excellent agreement. This favorable compa...
