What is the index of refraction (n) for the material it's made from?arrow_forwardThe resolution of a TEM is limited by diffraction (Rd) as discussed in Chapter 1, Eq. (1.3)), and by the spherical aberration which is expressed as: Rsph =Csα3, where Cs is the spherical aberration coefficient and α is the half-angle of the cone of light entering the objective lens. The TEM resolution is the quadratic sum of the diffraction resolution and spherical aberration resolution, given by the expression: R=√(R_d^2 + R_sph^2 ) The minimum R is obtained when Rd ≅ Rsph.
