Abstract

A method of non-recursive reconstruction of images in a High Resolution Electron Microscope (HRTEM). In an HRTEM a series of, for example, 100 images of an object is formed with each time a different setting of the astigmatism of the imaging lens or lenses. By subjecting these images to a Fourier transformation and multiplying the transformed images by a known filter function, a reconstruction of the object electron wave function is obtained by summing of the images thus filtered and transformed; said object electron wave function no longer contains the linear information which is undesirable for the reconstruction and the non-linear information which is not negligibly small for large thicknesses of the object is no longer present either.
