Simulations of transmission electron microscopy images can not only be vital for correctly interpreting and understanding measured data, but may also be used to design experiments or even instrumentation. With modern open-source tools, simulations of all kinds of image signals including HRTEM, ED, DPC and 4D-STEM are easy to learn and tractable on a personal computer. After a brief theoretical introduction to image simulation, the workshop focuses on computational exercises performed using the open-source Python package abTEM.
Topics to include:
- Theoretical basis of transmission electron microscopy image simulations
- Introduction to open-source TEM simulation software
- Computational exercises for modeling common imaging modes
