Abstract
Methods and systems for examining a dynamic specimen using a Transmission Charged Particle Microscope are disclosed. An example method includes sparsifying a beam of charged particles to produce at detector an image of a sample comprising a distribution of sub-images that are mutually isolated from one another at least along an elected scan path, and using a scanning assembly to cause relative motion of said image and said detector along said scan path during a time interval Δt so as to smear out each sub-image into a detection streak on said detector, each such streak capturing temporal evolution of its associated sub-image during said time interval Δt.
