Abstract

Transmission electron microscopes have been built along with and guided by technological opportunities since the last five decades. Even though there are some “workhorse” type of microscopes, these instruments are still more or less built from the technological viewpoint and less from the viewpoint of ease of use in a wide range of applications. On the other hand, leading edge applications are the drivers for the development and the use of leading edge technology. The result then is a “race horse” which is of very limited benefit in “Real world”.

During the last decade computers have been integrated to build microscope systems. in most cases, however, computers still have to deal with obsolete electron optical ray path designs and thus, have to be used more to overcome the problems of imperfect optics and bad design of ray paths than to provide optimized “Real world” capabilities.
