The electron-beam-tilt-induced image displacement in TEM can be given by, [1]

           electron-beam-tilt-induced image displacement in TEM ---------------- [1914a]
where,
        w = α exp(iϕ) ------------------ [1914b],
        Cs -- The spherical aberration coefficient,
        z -- The defocus (the difference of TEM specimen height from the standard focus height),
        a2 = A2 exp(i2ϕ2),
        b = B exp(iϕB),
        a3 = A3 exp(i3ϕ3),
        α -- The scattering angle,
        A2 -- The two-fold astigmatism coefficients,
        A3 -- The three-fold astigmatism coefficients,
        B -- The coefficients corresponding to coma displacement,
        ϕ2, ϕB, and ϕ3 -- The initial phases of corresponding aberrations.

The overbar in Equation 1914a denotes a complex conjugate. Equation 1914a represents the image displacement terms related to spherical aberration, defocus, two- and three-fold astigmatisms, and coma.

One of the most commonly used autofocus methods in TEM is based on a beam-tilt induced image displacement [2]. This method is especially applied for life-sciences.
