Although the possibility of locating single atom in three dimensions using the scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM) has been discussed with the advent of aberration correction technology, it is still a big challenge. In this report we have developed deconvolution routines based on maximum entropy method (MEM) and Richardson–Lucy algorithm (RLA), which are applicable to the STEM-annular dark-field (ADF) though-focus images to improve the depth resolution. The new three-dimensional (3D) deconvolution routines require a limited defocus-range of STEM-ADF images that covers a whole sample and some vacuum regions. Since the STEM-ADF probe is infinitely elongated along the optical axis, a 3D convolution is performed with a two-dimensional (2D) convolution over xy-plane using the 2D fast Fourier transform in reciprocal space, and a one-dimensional convolution along the z-direction in real space. Using our new deconvolution routines, we have processed simulated focal series of STEM-ADF images for single Ce dopants embedded in wurtzite-type AlN. Applying the MEM, the Ce peaks are clearly localized along the depth, and the peak width is reduced down to almost one half. We also applied the new deconvolution routines to experimental focal series of STEM-ADF images of a monolayer graphene. The RLA gives smooth and high-P/B ratio scattering distribution, and the graphene layer can be easily detected. Using our deconvolution algorithms, we can determine the depth locations of the heavy dopants and the graphene layer within the precision of 0.1 and 0.2 nm, respectively. Thus, the deconvolution must be extremely useful for the optical sectioning with 3D STEM-ADF images.

We have designed and evaluated a cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) system for higher-resolution single particle analysis and high-precision electron 3D crystallography. The system comprises a JEOL CRYO ARM 300 electron microscope—the first machine of this model—and a direct detection device camera, a scintillator-coupled camera, GPU clusters connected with a camera control computer and software for automated-data collection and efficient and accurate operation. The microscope provides parallel illumination of a highly coherent 300-kV electron beam to a sample from a cold-field emission gun and filters out energy-loss electrons through the sample with an in-column energy filter. The gun and filter are highly effective in improving imaging and diffraction, respectively, and have provided high quality data since July 2018. We here report on the characteristics of the cryo-EM system, updates, our progress and future plan for running such cryo-EM machines in RIKEN SPring-8 Center.

We describe small-angle electron diffraction (SmAED) and Lorentz microscopy using a conventional transmission electron microscope. In SmAED, electron diffraction patterns with a wide-angular range on the order of 1 × 10 −2 rad to 1 × 10 −7 rad can be obtained. It is demonstrated that magnetic information of nanoscale magnetic microstructures can be obtained by Fresnel imaging, Foucault imaging and SmAED. In particular, we report magnetic microstructures associated with magnetic stripes and magnetic skyrmions revealed by Lorentz microscopy with SmAED. SmAED can be applied to the analysis of microstructures in functional materials such as dielectric, ferromagnetic and multiferroic materials.

A phase retrieval technique based on a transport of intensity equation (TIE) is one of the defocus series reconstruction techniques in microscopy. Since it does not require any dedicated devices like a biprism, and only three defocus images are enough to retrieve phase information, it has been applied to observe magnetic fields, magnetic domains, electrostatic potentials and strains. It is also used to improve image resolution by correcting spherical aberration. This technique is simple and easy to use, but some artifacts often appear in the retrieved phase map. One should pay careful attention to the experimental conditions and the algorithms and boundary conditions used to solve the TIE. This paper reviews the principle of the TIE method, the algorithms used to solve it and application results in materials science.

Ptychography is a coherent diffractive imaging technique that can determine how an electron wave is transmitted through an object by probing it in many small overlapping regions and processing the diffraction data obtained at each point. The resulting electron transmission model describes both phase and amplitude changes to the electron wave. Ptychography has been adopted in transmission electron microscopy in recent years following advances in high-speed direct electron detectors and computer algorithms which now make the technique suitable for practical applications. Its ability to retrieve quantitative phase information at high spatial resolution makes it a plausible alternative or complement to electron holography. Furthermore, unlike off-axis electron holography, it can provide phase information without an electron bi-prism assembly or the requirement of a minimally structured region adjacent to the region of interest in the object. However, it does require a well-calibrated scanning transmission electron microscope and a well-managed workflow to manage the calibration, data acquisition and reconstruction process to yield a practical technique. Here we detail this workflow and highlight how this is greatly assisted by acquisition management software. Through experimental data and modelling we also explore the similarities and differences between high-resolution ptychography and electron holography. Both techniques show a dependence of the recovered phase on the crystalline orientation of the material which is attributable to dynamical scattering. However, the exact nature of the variation differs reflecting fundamental expectations, but nonetheless equally useful information is obtained from electron holography and the ptychographically determined object transmission function.

The structure analysis of amorphous materials still leaves much room for improvement. Owing to the lack of translational or rotational symmetry of amorphous materials, it is important to develop a different approach from that used for crystals for the structure analysis of amorphous materials. Here, the angstrom-beam electron diffraction method was used to obtain the local structure information of amorphous materials at a sub-nanometre scale. In addition, we discussed the relationship between the global and local diffraction intensities of amorphous structures, and verified the effectiveness of the proposed method through basic diffraction simulations. Finally, some applications of the proposed method to structural and functional amorphous materials are summarized.

Microstructural changes during the martensitic transformation from face-centred cubic (FCC) to body-centred cubic (BCC) in an Fe-31Ni alloy were observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with a newly developed Peltier stage available at temperatures to −75°C. Electron channelling contrast imaging (ECCI) was utilized for the in situ observation during cooling. Electron backscatter diffraction analysis at ambient temperature (20°C) after the transformation was performed for the crystallographic characterization. A uniform dislocation slip in the FCC matrix associated with the transformation was detected at −57°C. Gradual growth of a BCC martensite was recognized upon cooling from −57°C to −63°C.

This review examines methods of magnetic flux density measurements from the narrow grain boundary (GB) regions, the thickness of which is of the order of nanometers, produced in Nd–Fe–B-based sintered magnets. Despite of the complex crystallographic microstructure and the significant stray magnetic field of the sintered magnet, recent progress in electron holography allowed for the determination of the intrinsic magnetic flux density due to the GB which is embedded in the polycrystalline thin-foil. The methods appear to be useful as well for intensive studies about interface magnetism in a variety of systems.

Since the majority of a tendon’s dry weight is collagen fibers, tendon healing consists mainly of collagen repair and observing three-dimensional networks of collagen fibers with scanning electron microscopy (SEM) is optimal for investigating this process. In this report, a cell-maceration/SEM method was used to investigate extrasynovial tendon (unwrapped tendon in synovial tissue such as the tendon sheath) healing of an injured Achilles tendon in a rat model. In addition, since mechanical stimulation is important for tendon healing, a novel, tensionless, rat lower leg tendon injury model was established and verified by visualizing the structural change of collagen fibers under tensionless conditions by SEM. This new model was created by transplanting the leg of a rat with a tendon laceration to the back, removing mechanical stimulation. We then compared the process of tendon healing with and without tension using SEM. Under tension, collagen at the tendon stump shows axial alignment and repair that subsequently demarcates the paratenon (connective tissue on the surface of an extrasynovial tendon) border. In contrast, under tensionless conditions, the collagen remains randomly arranged. Our findings demonstrate that mechanical stimulation contributes to axial arrangement and reinforces the importance of tendon tension in wound healing.

In this paper, we review the current state of phase plate imaging in a transmission electron microscope. We focus especially on the hole-free phase plate design, also referred to as the Volta phase plate. We discuss the implementation, operating principles and applications of phase plate imaging. We provide an imaging theory that accounts for inelastic scattering in both the sample and in the hole-free phase plate.
