The energy resolution of a conventional EEL spectrometer is usually limited by geometric aberration. Curved entrance and exit edges of the magnetic prism spectrometer are usually made to appropriate radii to correct geometric aberration [1 - 2], for instance, curved entrance was used to design a TEM postcolumn imaging filter.[3] However, the performance of curved edge depends highly on the machining tolerances and alignment accuracy [4–6].
