Abstract:

Spherical aberration-corrected transmission electron microscopy (TEM) is an important microstructural analytical technique extensively used in cutting-edge scientific research in the fields of chemistry, materials, and biology. This paper presents the principles of spherical aberration-corrected TEM, its application in chemical crystal structure analysis, and its influence on the structural chemistry curriculum.

Key words: Spherical aberration-corrected transmission electron microscope, Crystal structure, Structural chemistry
