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 …

Principles of Electron Optic: Volume Three: Wave Optics, discusses this essential topic in
microscopy to help readers understand the propagation of electrons from the source to the …

In light optics, beams with orbital angular momentum (OAM) can be produced by employing
a properly-tuned two-cylinder-lens arrangement, also called π/2 mode converter. It is not …

Nearly eighty years ago, Scherzer showed that rotationally symmetric, charge-free, static
electron lenses are limited by an unavoidable, positive spherical aberration. Following a …

Recently, ultrastable glasses gained growing attention due to the revelation of the
mechanism leading towards the understanding of glasses and glass transition in general …

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

Cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET) is a powerful modality for resolving cellular structures in
their native state. While single-particle cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) excels in …

Thin-film phase plates (PP) have become a valuable tool for the imaging of organic objects
in transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The thin film usually consists of amorphous …
