Optimal experimental design for quantitative electron microscopy

Project members:  D. Van Dyck , P. Goos , S. Van Aert , A.J. den Dekker
 
Keywords:  Statistical signal processing, Imaging and adaptive optics, Quantitative electron microscopy
 
Sponsored by:  FWO
 
The aim of this research project is to apply state-of-the-art methods from the field of optimal design of experiments in the field of electron microscopy. These methods will allow electron microscopists to evaluate, to compare, and to optimize experiments in terms of the attainable precision with which structure parameters, the atom positions in particular, can be measured. Moreover, statistical experimental design provides the possibility to decide if new instrumental developments result in significantly higher attainable precisions. The highest attainable precision determines the theoretical limit to quantitative electron microscopy.

The project is funded by FWO (the National Fund for Scientific Research (Belgium)).
