Abstract
Although general multi-slice calculations remain too slow, web-browsers on many platforms now make possible real-time single-slice (strong phase/amplitude object) simulation, with live image, diffraction, image power-spectrum, and darkfield-image modes, including specimen rotation e.g. for atomic-resolution images with specimens having several tens of thousands of atoms. Moreover, a wide range of qualitative phenomena emerge that include diffraction-contrast effects associated with thickness, orientation changes, and defect strain. Hence students with no math background can get a visceral feel for the way 2-D lattice-projections, diffraction-patterns, image power-spectra, aperture size/position, and darkfield images relate to a specimen's structure & orientation, as well as microscope contrast-transfer, well before access to a real electron microscope is available.
