BFP stronger lens - shorter focal length Image vs. Diffraction
Objective aperture selection • The BFP contains the DP (shows reciprocal space) and the objective aperture. • Remember, small objects in real space become large in reciprocal space. • Larger objective apertures allow finer detail. • … but by allowing more of the scattered electrons to contribute to the image it has lower contrast.
No scattered electrons from hole Large aperture – lower contrast Small aperture – higher contrast Objective Aperture Size

What you see on screen On-axis Dark Field How do you center DF beam?
Not in Bragg condition! Tilt to +g If you move diffracted spot into center, it will disappear.
Still in Bragg condition! Tilt to -g If you move direct beam to +g spot, -g will light up.

Crystallographic Imaging • TEM can give both image and crystallographic (diffraction) information. • To be useful, we need to relate the image to the diffraction pattern. • We can then mark crystallographic directions on our images.
Image Rotation • Lorentz force causes the electron to spiral through the lens. • The amount of spiral varies with the magnetic field. • Changing the field (lens strength) rotates the image.

Rotation Angle • We usually work at fixed CL, measure from DP to image • Note sense of rotation (CW/CCW) • Work with film emulsion up. Be consistent.
