Exit wave reconstruction of radiation-sensitive materials from low-dose data

Abstract

We report exit wave reconstruction using a focal series of low-dose images for ZSM-5, a zeolite which has a wide range of industrial applications. The exit wave phase was successfully reconstructed showing the structure of ZSM-5 at a near-atomic resolution even though the dose in the individual images in the focal series was as low as 26 electrons/Å2. This implementation shows the method's potential for application to other radiation-sensitive materials. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
