  • MoO3 SAED pattern, JEOL 2000FX, 200kV, camera is side mounted with a diffraction beam stop.

    Both images were acquired under identical optical conditions, the only difference being exposure duration: 0.04 sec and 0.5 sec, a difference of 12 times (!). Note that both images look similar. Histograms, however, show much different signal intensity ranges.

    NOTE: When opening 16 bit .tif images, please use an adequate program that supports the 16 bit image format, and use histogram control.
