Zero-Loss Image
A zero-loss image is made using only electrons in the ZLP; that is, they have not undergone any inelastic scattering. When you exclude the inelastically scattered electrons, you can improve an image's contrast and resolution.
- Access to this capability depends on the mode you use.
- SingleMap – Press the Select ZLP button to open the Configure Zero-Loss Image dialog
- MultiMap – Specify in the MultiMap Configuration dialog
- Indicate parameters within the Acquire Zero-Loss Image dialog.
- Window Settings – Specify the energy loss (0 eV) and slit width for the filter (ideally, it should be wide enough just to cover the ZLP)
- Detector – Specify the detector settings you want to use
- Click Capture.
As shown here, you can insert the slit to isolate electrons from the ZLP to create the ZLP image.
