Summary

Aberration-corrected high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) offers real-time atomic structure imaging. Optimizing imaging conditions is key for accurate interpretation and achieving the highest resolution, especially when combined with through-focus exit-wave function reconstruction (TF-EWR).
