Abstract
Especially for light elements inelastic scattering is more probable than the elastic scattering that conveys the structural information. The question arises as to whether an image using inelastically scattered electrons is different depending on whether the elastic or inelastic scattering happens first, is there a top-bottom effect. We show that since inelastic scattering is concentrated in a narrow range of angles, much less than typical Bragg angles in light element materials, the inelastic and elastic processes are separable and, to a very good approximation, there is no top-bottom effect. For weakly scattering thin biological specimens that are phase objects the separation is exact and there can be no top-bottom effect.
