In contrast to conventional TEM (CTEM) system, modern field emission gun TEM (FEG-TEM) systems are often equipped with scanning coils that allow the microscopes to be used in scanning mode. In this mode, the electron beam is focused on the specimen by the condenser lenses and the objective prefield lens. The small probe therefore is scanned across the area of interest in the specimen plane. The image is obtained either (a) from electrons that have not been scattered or are only under small angles to form a bright-field image or (b) from electrons that have undergone large-angle scattering events to form an annular-dark-field (ADF) image. If the detected electrons are from scattering at angles between ~ 50 – 100 mrad, the ADF mode is called high-angle annular dark- field (HAADF) mode. Microscopes operating only in the scanning mode are called scanning TEMs (STEMs). More readings can be obtained at Difference of Imaging Geometries of TEM and STEM Systems.

We need to recalibrate the condenser lens adjustment from the FilterControl software if the EEL specimen illumination changes when the spectrum offset is changed.
