  • Patent number: 11810751
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method of imaging a specimen using a transmission charged particle microscope, said method comprising providing a specimen, and providing a charged particle beam and directing said charged particle beam onto said specimen for generating a flux of charged particles transmitted through the specimen. The method comprises the step of generating and recording a first energy filtered flux of charged particles transmitted through the specimen, wherein said first energy filtered flux of charged particles substantially consists of non-scattered and elastically scattered charged particles. The method as disclosed herein comprises the further step of generating and recording a second energy filtered flux of charged particles transmitted through the specimen, wherein said second energy filtered flux of charged particles substantially consists of inelastically scattered charged particles.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 22, 2021
    Date of Patent: November 7, 2023
    Assignee: FEI Company
    Inventors: Peter Tiemeijer, Evgeniia Pechnikova, Rudolf Geurink, Abhay Kotecha, Jamie McCormack

  • Patent number: 10935506
    Abstract: Molecular structure may be determined based on structure factors solved from the diffraction pattern and the electron microscopy image of the sample. In particular, the amplitudes of the structure factors may be determined based on intensities of diffraction peaks in the multiple diffraction patterns. The phases of the structure factors may be determined based on electron microscopy images and the intensities of the diffraction peaks.
