Extract

A standard Philips CM200FEG electron microscope, without the special Lorentz lens, has been optimized for Lorentz imaging. The necessary field-free sample region is obtained by switching off the objective lens in the free lens mode. The limited range of magnification is compensated for by a post-column Gatan image filter (GIF) which magnifies by a factor of _ 20. Fresnel imaging is performed by defocusing with the diffraction lens. The use of low angle diffraction, in combination with the apertures located at the selected area aperture plane, allow Foucault imaging. The TEM analog of differential phase contrast (DPC) imaging has been implemented. This method makes it possible to obtain quantitave induction maps of the in-plane magnetization. TEM DPC is based on a series of Foucault images, recorded with different incremental beam tilts, which are processed to yield images equivalent to the quadrant signals obtained by the STEM DPC technique.
