Abstract
A new image detection system has been developed to display transmission electron microscope (TEM) images on a CRT without a video camera system. Deflection coils placed in both the upper space of an objective lens and in the lower space of the first intermediate lens scan a small electron probe simultaneously. The electrical signal acquired through an improved scintillator and a photomultiplier is synchronized with the scanning signal and displayed in a similar fashion to a conventional scanning TEM (STEM) instrument. A preliminary system using a 100 kV conventional TEM (CTEM) equipped with a hairpinβtype electron gun, produced an image with a spatial resolution of 1 nm.

For three-dimensional electron microscopical structure research the specimen must be imaged in a tilted position. Specimen tilt is also often needed to achieve an optimal molecular packing orientation. The tilt with respect to the optical axis causes a defocus gradient alongside the imaged area and
