Aberration Correction Enables 3-D Imaging Akin to Confocal Optical Technique

Daniel S. Burgess

Aberration-corrected scanning transmission electron microscopy offers users the ability to perform 3-D imaging similar to confocal microscopy, a group at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee has reported. The technique can probe sample volumes that are 500 million times smaller than those interrogated using the optical technique, and further improvements in resolution are expected with the release of fifth-order aberration correctors in 2007. A third-order aberration-corrected 300-kV scanning transmission electron microscope demonstrates the feasibility of generating 3-D images...Read full article
