Abstract

microScope for Windows™ is a transmission electron micrograph simulation program for brightfield and darkfield images of dislocations and stacking faults, based on the dynamical two-beam theory and the column approximation. The program is a modification of the original programs of Head et al, which have been rewritten in Visual Basic™ 4.0 for Microsoft® Windows™ 3.1. microScope for Windows™ also includes routines needed to prepare data for the actual calculation of the image, and to calculate and display a rocking curve for any pixel of the previously computed brightfield or darkfield image. On a 120 MHz Pentium, microScope for Windows™ calculates a true gray scale (256 gray level) image consisting of 19840 pixels in about 10 seconds (version 2.3). A 300 dpi laserprinter screendump at the end of the calculation of an image is shown in Fig. 1.
