DualEELS Quantification (Self-Paced)
This course focuses on acquiring low and high-loss spectra in a DualEELS pair for precise energy-loss measurements, correcting plural scattering, and absolute quantification.
Part of EELS Basics series
-
EELS Fundamentals (Self-Paced)
CourseUnderstanding the EELS fundamentals process and procedures foundation.
-
Practical Aspects in EELS Mode (Self-Paced)
CourseThe training delves into the crucial aspect of measuring collection angles using DigitalMicrograph, emphasizing their impact on acquired spectra. A three-part course: Scattering angle, dispersion and aperture choice, and detector settings.
-
EFTEM Imaging (Self-Paced)
CourseThe training covers the effective use of the Gatan Image Filter for acquiring EFTEM images, including ZLP-filtered images, thickness maps, and elemental maps. It also teaches optimization of the filter and microscope for the best image quality.
