An introduction to Cs-corrected S/TEM

Hello fellow microscopists!


Every semester, each staff member in our facility gives a presentation to the user base about a topic of his/her choosing. As we recently acquired a new FEI Themis Z Cs-corrected S/TEM, this was the perfect topic for me to use for my presentation.


This is the raw, unedited, uncut, and uncensored (ha ha) version that I actually gave (albeit virtually) so you are seeing the presentation and hearing me as I actually gave it!


In the presentation, I discuss the origins of Cs (spherical aberration) in scanning/transmission electron microscopy, how to correct Cs, the neat things we can do with Cs-corrected S/TEM, and the few (but notable) associated drawbacks.


Please note that this is not a tutorial type video (though eventually I will be making plenty of those regarding our new tool); it's more of a fundamentals/overview/introductory type video.


Thanks for watching; please like, share, and let me know if you have any questions or comments!
