abstract = {In aberration-corrected transmission electron microscopy,
the image contrast depends sensitively on the focus value.
With the point resolution extended to an information limit
of below 0.1 nm, even a focus change of as small as one
nanometer could give a significant change in image contrast.
Therefore, it is necessary to consider in detail the optimum
focus condition in order to take full advantage of
aberration-correction. In this study, the thickness
dependence of the minimum contrast focus has been
investigated by dynamical image simulations for amorphous
model structures of carbon, germanium, and tungsten, which
were constructed by molecular dynamics simulations. The
calculation results show that the minimum contrast focus
varies with the object thickness, supporting the use of an
effective object plane close to the midplane instead of the
exit plane of a sample, as suggested by Bonhomme and
Beorchia [J. Phys. D: Appl. Phys. 16, 705 (1983)] and
Lentzen [Microscopy and Microanalysis 12, 191 (2006)]. Thus
supported particles and wedge-shaped crystals with
symmetrical top and bottom surfaces could be imaged at a
focus condition independent of the uneven bottom face. Image
simulations of crystalline samples as a function of focus
and thickness show: for an object thickness of less than 10
nm, the optimum focus condition is matched better if the
midplane of the object, instead of the exit plane, is chosen
as reference plane.},
