Accuracy of EELS Measurement

In summary, to improve the accuracy of EELS measurements, one needs to:
         i) monitor and avoid sample drift,
         ii) monitor energy resolution,
         iii) remove background,
         iv) remove dark current,
         v) remove channel-to-channel gain variations,
         vi) remove the effect of not ideally uniform electron illumination in two dimensional (2D) map,
         vii) reduce time-dependence of electron illumination.
