In this paper, we review the current state of phase plate imaging in a transmission electron
microscope. We focus especially on the hole-free phase plate design, also referred to as the …

We analyze electron-beam induced carbon contamination in a transmission electron
microscope. The study is performed on thin films potentially suitable as phase plates for …

A systematic study on charging of carbon thin films under intense electron-beam irradiation
was performed in a transmission electron microscope to identify the underlying physics for …

Especially for light elements inelastic scattering is more probable than the elastic scattering
that conveys the structural information. The question arises as to whether an image using …

A controversy exists as to whether the signal in a high resolution phase contrast electron
micrograph of a particle in a thick specimen is the same irrespective of the particle's position …

A new method to control lattice-fringe contrast in high-resolution transmission electron
microscopy (HRTEM) images by the implementation of a physical phase plate (PP) is …

Thin-film phase plates (PPs) have become an interesting tool to enhance the contrast of
weak-phase objects in transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The thin film usually …

We explore the possibility of applying physical phase plates (PPs) in combination with
aberration-corrected transmission electron microscopy. Phase-contrast transfer …

Phase plates (PPs) in transmission electron microscopy (TEM) improve the contrast of
weakly scattering objects under in‐focus imaging conditions. A well‐established PP type is …

Phase plates (PPs) are beneficial devices to improve the phase contrast of life-science
objects in cryo-transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The development of the hole-free …
