Extract

Quantitative off-axis electron holography in a transmission electron microscope (TEM) requires careful design of experiment specific to instrumental characteristics. For example, the spatial resolution desired for a particular holography experiment imposes requirements on the spacing of the interference fringes to be recorded. This fringe spacing depends upon the geometric configuration of the TEM/electron biprism system, which is experimentally fixed, but also upon the voltage applied to the biprism wire of the holography unit, which is experimentally adjustable. Hence, knowledge of the holographic interference fringe spacing as a function of applied voltage to the electron biprism is essential to the design of a specific holography experiment. Furthermore, additional instrumental parameters, such as the coherence and virtual size of the electron source, for example, affect the quality of recorded holograms through their effect on the contrast of the holographic fringes.
