Localization of chromophore absorption signals in TEM with an improved prism-mirror-prism filter.

A corrected prism-mirror-prism electron energy filter with curved entrance and exit faces was designed and incorporated into a Zeiss EM902 transmission electron microscope. The installation of the new filter required little modification to the existing microscope geometry and electronics. The filter had an energy resolution of 1.1 eV over the full image plane (acceptance half angle 10 mradian). Th...
