Electron bright field

In the simplest case of bright-field imaging, the CTF can easily be deduced the elastically scattered electron... 

There are three primary image modes that are used in conventional TEM work, bright-field microscopy, dark-field microscopy, and high-resolution electron microscopy. In practice, the three image modes differ in the way in which an objective diaphragm is used as a filter in the back focal plane. 

In bright-field microscopy, a small objective aperture is used to block all diffracted beams and to pass only the transmitted (undiffracted) electron beam. In the...

The transmission electron microscope is now well established as a useful tool for the characterization of supported heterogeneous catalysts(l). Axial bright-field imaging in the conventional transmission electron microscope (CTEM) is routinely used to provide the catalyst chemist with details concerning particle size distributions, 3), particle disposition over the support material(2-6) as well as particle morphology(7). Internal crystal structure(8-10), and elemental compositions(ll) may be inferred by direct structure imaging.
