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.

Dynamic angle selection in X-ray computed tomography

TL;DR: A dynamic algorithm is proposed, in which new projection angles are selected by maximizing the information gain about the object, given the set of possible new angles, which can select projection angles for which the accuracy of the reconstructed image is significantly higher compared to the standard angle selections schemes.

Understanding the limitations of the Super-X energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer as a function of specimen tilt angle for tomographic date acquisition in the STEM

Thomas Slater
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the use of x-ray energy dispersive spectroscopy during tomographic hyperspectral imaging experiments in the scanning transmission electron microscope and found that for an analytical system employing a commercial high-tilt tomography holder, the measured xray signal is limited by shadowing caused by the penumbra of the holder relative to the xray detector system.

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
