AutoEM-toolbox

AutoEM-toolbox

- An automatization program written in Digital Micrograph environment- Acquires images with the transmission electron microscope (TEM) in a

serial fashion- Connected to NanoDefine ParticleSizer (D5.1) for live data analysis- Works in TEM Bright Field mode and STEM Dark Field mode- Elemental analysis and thickness mapping (plateles) possible- Automatic exposure and focusing incorporated- Tested with 4 FEI Tecnai and 2 JEOL microscopes

AutoEM-toolbox STEM EDS mode

AutoEM-toolbox STEM EDS mode

- User chooses the elements and defines Cutoff values for the peaks

- The EDS spectra integrated from theSI image is smoothed and an optimized Gaussian curve is fitted to the peak

- If the peak is above the cutoff value, theferet min value will be added to the PSD

AutoEM-toolbox STEM EELS mode

- EELS SI also possible- Core loss, ELNES…- Analysis not

supported- Custom analysis

scripts possible after every pixel/particle
