technical terms
Auger electron spectroscopy
Bright field image. In TEM, BF is formed using only (or mainly) transmitted beam.
Coefficient of spherical aberration. It also refer to spherical aberration itself, such as in Cs-correction.
Dark field image. In TEM, a DF image is formed using one or more diffracted beams.
High angle angular dark field image. It is a mode of STEM collecting only scattered electrons to high angles. The contrast is related to atomic number, Z. This imaging is also Z-contrast STEM.
A STEM imaging mode where the detector collects high angle scattered electrons. The contrast is related to atomic number Z. High Z material gives brighter contrast.
