  • Accurate quantification is crucial for extracting meaningful physical parameters from EELS data.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report advances in model-based quantification of EELS.
  • To introduce and validate the maximum likelihood method for EELS parameter estimation.
  • To provide a user-friendly software tool for EELS quantification.

Main Methods:

  • Application of the maximum likelihood method for parameter estimation in EELS.
  • Validation of the underlying quantification model.
