Computer Processing of Electron Microscope Images

Part of the book series: Topics in Current Physics ((TCPHY,volume 13))

Abstract

By analog processing, we do not imply optical processing of micrographs, but rather electronic techniques for functional manipulation. These electronic techniques are ideally suited for the STEM since the information from such an instrument is available as a time sequential electrical signal. Moreover, this type of processing cannot easily be performed with a fixed beam instrument (i.e., a conventional transmission electron microscope) [7.1]. It is not our intention to elaborate in detail on the electronic circuitry involved in such analog processing. We prefer, instead to discuss the technique in terms amenable to block diagram descriptions. For the details of analog function circuitry, the reader is referred to some recent comprehensive reviews on the subject [7.2,3].
