Quantitative interpretation of electron micrographs using image processing techniques

Horgen, H.

Abstract

Several different techniques for enhancing the contrast of electron micrographs or for extracting latent information with the aid of a computer are described. Enhancement of lattice-fringe images and of the weak-beam image of a dislocation dipole demonstrate a way to match experimental results with theoretical contrast predictions. Problems associated with the restoration of a weakly-scattering specimen imaged in bright-field are illustrated on focal series of catalase and of small gold clusters on a carbon substrate.
