Confocal microscopes increase the resolution of images by rejecting unwanted data from the out of focus regions of the specimen. This incurs a penalty in the recorded signal to noise ratio that may be partially ameliorated by inputting addi...
Dynamical simulation of on-axis transmission Kikuchi and spot diffraction patterns, based on accurate diffraction geometry calibration [0.03%]
