Abstract

At present transmission electron energy loss spectrum (EELS) analysis is only carried out in dedicated research instruments such as transmission electron microscopes (TEMs) or scanning transmission electron microscopes. This article presents a new design of second-order geometric aberration corrected EELS spectrometer attachment using split plates, which enables conventional scanning electron microscopes (SEMs) to provide TEM-like EELS spectra. Correction to a third-order dominant geometric aberration pattern has been achieved, which indicates that most of the second-order geometric aberration component is eliminated. This second-order aberration corrected spectrometer attachment design can enable SEMs to provide transmission EELS spectrums.
