Resilient quantum electron microscopy

Year: 2022

Type: article

Abstract: We investigate the fundamental limit of biological quantum electron microscopy, which is designed to go beyond the shot noise limit. Inelastic scattering is expected to be the main obstacle in this setting, especially for thick specimens of actual biological interest. Here we describe a measurement procedure that, in principle, significantly neutralizes the effect of inelastic scattering.
