Electron tomography and holography in materials science

TLDR
An overview of the techniques of electron tomography and electron holography is presented and their capabilities with the aid of case studies that span materials science and the interface between the physical sciences and the life sciences are demonstrated.
Abstract
The rapid development of electron tomography, in particular the introduction of novel tomographic imaging modes, has led to the visualization and analysis of three-dimensional structural and chemical information from materials at the nanometre level. In addition, the phase information revealed in electron holograms allows electrostatic and magnetic potentials to be mapped quantitatively with high spatial resolution and, when combined with tomography, in three dimensions. Here we present an overview of the techniques of electron tomography and electron holography and demonstrate their capabilities with the aid of case studies that span materials science and the interface between the physical sciences and the life sciences.

Improvement of Alignment Accuracy in Electron Tomography

TL;DR: In this paper, an improved method for tilt series alignment with fiducial markers in electron tomography was developed, which used the Levenberg-Marquardt method to solve the nonlinear least squares problem by incorporating a new formula for the alignment model.

Shape from projections via differentiable forward projector for computed tomography.

TL;DR: This work views the forward projection as a rendering process, and makes it differentiable by extending recent work in differentiable rendering, and uses the proposed forward model to reconstruct 3D shapes directly from projections.

Visualizing Trace Pollutants in Solids at Nanoscale via Electron Tomography.

TL;DR: In this paper, progress on the state-of-the-art electron tomography is highlighted as an increasingly indispensable tool for visualizing contaminant distribution and transformation in three-dimensional (3D), including environmental pollutants at the water-minerals interfaces, toxicology assessment, environmental behavior of viruses in heterogeneous environmental media, etc.

Prospects of linear reconstruction in atomic resolution electron holographic tomography.

TL;DR: This work investigated the artefacts that are produced if the reconstruction still assumes the Phase Grating Approximation even with an atomic resolution tilt series, and reconstructed electric potential clearly shows peaks at the positions of the atoms.

Representation of a Function by Its Line Integrals, with Some Radiological Applications

TL;DR: In this paper, a method for finding a real function in a finite region of a plane given its line integrals along all straight lines intersecting the region was given, and the solution found is applicable to three problems of interest for precise radiology and radiotherapy: (1) the determination of a variable x-ray absorption coefficient in two dimensions, (2) the distribution of positron annihilations when there is an inhomogeneous distribution of the positron emitter in matter, and (3) a variable density of matter with constant chemical composition, using the energy loss
