Abstract-A new method is proposed for the reconstruction of the complex valued exit wave of a periodic specimen in a transmission electron microscope. The method uses a series of images recorded at different defoci. From these, inherently noisy, images the parameters defining the wave are estimated. The method keeps the number of parameters as small as possible. In addition, in simulations, it has been found to always produce the exit wave estimate fitting best to the images recorded.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
