Abstract
Integrated Centre-of-Mass (iCOM) is a widely used phase-contrast imaging method based on Centre-of-Mass (COM), which makes use of a 4D Scanning Transmission Electron Microscopy (STEM) dataset using an in-focus probe. In this paper, we introduce a novel approach that combines Single-Side Band (SSB) ptychography with COM and iCOM, termed Side Band masked Centre-of-Mass (SBm-COM) and integrated Centre-of-Mass (SBm-iCOM) which is applicable to weak-phase objects. This method compensates for residual aberrations in 4DSTEM datasets while also reducing the noise contribution up to the resolution limit. The aberration compensation and noise filtering features make the SBm-(i)COM suitable for samples that are difficult to focus or those that require minimal electron fluence. SBm-iCOM transfers the same information as SSB ptychography but results in an intrinsic transfer function that enhances low-frequency information.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Microscopy is the oldest journal dedicated to the science of microscopy and the only peer-reviewed publication of the Royal Microscopical Society. It publishes papers that report on the very latest developments in microscopy such as advances in microscopy techniques or novel areas of application. The Journal does not seek to publish routine applications of microscopy or specimen preparation even though the submission may otherwise have a high scientific merit.
The scope covers research in the physical and biological sciences and covers imaging methods using light, electrons, X-rays and other radiations as well as atomic force and near field techniques. Interdisciplinary research is welcome. Papers pertaining to microscopy are also welcomed on optical theory, spectroscopy, novel specimen preparation and manipulation methods and image recording, processing and analysis including dynamic analysis of living specimens.
Publication types include full papers, hot topic fast tracked communications and review articles. Authors considering submitting a review article should contact the editorial office first.
