=================================================================================

In TEM a stigmator is used to compensate for the fixed threefold astigmatism of the objective lens [1].

Note that a single aberration violating the π/4 criterion may also cancel out the other one with the same symmetry if the have different sign, such as a small positive third-order spherical aberration and a small underfocus, or a small positive twofold astigmatism and a small negative third-order star aberration with the same azimuth.
