A Corrected View of the Future: Electron Optical Aberration
Correctors/Monochromators at JEOL

To avoid any contaminated whiff of commercialism, this presentation will concentrate on the current state of aberration correction and beam monochromation for the general field of electron microscopy. Since JEOL is also involved with this field, many of the examples will include data and information from JEOL aberration corrected and monochromated instruments. Though correction of the spherical aberration has been realized, there are additional benefits to correcting the chromatic aberration as well. Examples, calculations, and directions for further improvement will be discussed. General topics on the future of electron microscopes will be also be presented. These topics include remote operation, improvement in stability and resistance to environmental factors, new sensors and recording media, and problems associated with increasing levels of complexity.
