Abstract

We observed energy-filtered extinction contours in silicon and copper crystals using an imaging-filter system. The observed contrasts are discussed and compared to a theory describing diffraction effects in inelastic scattering. The experimental results are evaluated for three mapping methods widely used in electron spectroscopic imaging. We show that quantification errors caused by diffraction effects range from 10% up to a factor of three.
