Abstract

Systems and methods for fused multi-modal electron microscopy are provided to generate quantitatively accurate 2D maps or 3D volumes with pixel/voxel values that directly reflect a sample's chemistry. Techniques are provided for combining annular dark field detector (ADF), annular bright field (ABF) and/or pixelated detector image data and energy dispersive X-rays (EDX) data and/or electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) data for a sample and generating chemical 2D and 3D maps by applying minimization optimization process.
