Abstract
The effect of the higher-order spherical aberration coefficient on the transfer function in transmission electron microscopy was calculated. In order to simplify the system, the optical illumination system was assumed to be perfectly coherent and axially symmetric. The result shows that the effect of the fifth-order spherical aberration coefficient, C5, on the usual transfer function with the third-order spherical aberration coefficient C5≡C3=0.5 mm for 100 keV electrons cannot be neglected, if high-order Bragg reflections from net planes with smaller lattice spacings than 0.1 nm are utilized for lattice imaging. The effect of the higher-order term due to the defocussing on the transfer function is also discussed.
