Application of Aberration Corrections in EMs

Additional capabilities of EMs can be obtained by using aberration correctors. For instance, the novel applications include low-kV microscopy [1 - 5], imaging and analytical in situ dynamic experiments [6 – 14], enhanced contrast and resolution in thick biological specimens [15 - 17], quantitative image analysis [18-20], atomic resolution spectroscopy [21 - 23], and three-dimensional (3D) atomic characterization [24 - 28], to name but a few.
