The example in Figure 3604 shows a TEM system facilitated with a C3/C5 corrector for spherical aberration corrections. To optimize the performance of the aberration corrections, the correctors need to be well coupled with the other lenses such as objective lens (OL). The QLM (highlighted in orange) is a quadrupole triplet, used for coupling the corrector electron-optically to the OL. Note that different from most commercial TEM systems (see schematic diagram of TEM systems), this TEM system without phosphor screen has the incident electrons emitted from the bottom of the systems and the detectors on the top.
