Learn to use a TEM quickly...

  1. A single lens: get hands-on experience right from the start
  2. Understand shift and tilt
    3. : this is how we correct misalignments. We also practice adjusting an aperture position
  3. Two or more lenses: understand how the microscope magnifies and learn how to take an image
  4. The gun: learn how to turn on the beam
  5. The condenser system: understand how to align two lenses
  6. Astigmatism
    7. : Learn to adjust this important variable
  7. The objective lens: understand the heart of the electron microscope, and how the other lenses fit above and below the objective
  8. Eucentric height: all about where the specimen sits
  9. Pivots points: understand why you have to get those two blobs to be coincident
  10. Diffraction mode: understand the next most important mode after 'image mode'
    11. .
  11. The schemetic diagram
    12. : Understand the entire microscope
  12. Twin objective lens
    13. : Understand the pre-field and other realities
  13. The computer
    14. : What I love to hate...
  14. Alignment schedules
    15. : and other alignment hints
  15. The vacuum system:
    16. In brief
  16. Gun tilt
    17. : A more advanced discussion
  17. Focussing the diffraction pattern
    18. : more advanced details
  18. Homepage
    19. : With sections on STEM alignment and elementary theory of electron interference
