Automated 4D-STEM routine enhances electron microscopy data acquisition and analysis

Researchers have developed an automated routine for acquiring and analyzing 4D-STEM data in electron microscopy experiments. This new system leverages programming interfaces to control microscope functionalities, enabling automated data collection and reducing operator bias. The routine has been demonstrated to extract detailed microstructural information, including orientation, shape, and phase distributions from nanoparticle ensembles, as well as atomic-resolution phase imaging and lattice-strain mapping from individual grains.
