ACEM utilizes sophisticated hardware and software to correct lens aberrations. The process involves several steps:
Electron source generates a beam of electrons. Electromagnetic lenses focus the electron beam onto the sample. Aberration correctors adjust the electron optics to compensate for lens imperfections. Detectors capture high-resolution images of the sample.
The correction of aberrations results in sharper and more accurate images, enabling detailed analysis of the catalyst's atomic structure.
