Sampling metrics for robust reconstructions in multislice ptychography: Theory and experiment
While multislice electron ptychography can provide thermal-vibration limited
resolution and 3D information, it relies on the proper selection of many
intertwined experimental and computational parameters. Here, we outline a
theoretical basis for selecting experimental parameters to enable robust
ptychographic reconstructions. We develop a series of physically informed
metrics to describe the selection of experimental parameters in multislice
ptychography. Image simulations are used to comprehensively evaluate the
validity of these metrics over a broad range of experimental conditions. We
develop two metrics, areal oversampling and Ronchigram magnification, which
predict reconstruction success with high accuracy. Lastly, we validate these
conclusions with experimental ptychographic data, and demonstrate close
agreement between trends in simulated and experimental data. Using these
metrics, we achieve experimental multislice reconstructions at a scan step of
1.0 \unit{\AA/px}, enabling large field-of-view (>\!18\unit{nm}),
data-efficient reconstructions. These experimental design principles enable the
routine and reliable use of multislice ptychography for materials
characterization.Comment: 9 pages, 5 figure
‘Stick that knife in me’: Shane Meadows’ children
This article brings Shane Meadows’ Dead Man's Shoes (2004) into dialogue with the history of the depiction of the child on film. Exploring Meadows’ work for its complex investment in the figure of the child on screen, it traces the limits of the liberal ideology of the child in his cinema and the structures of feeling mobilised by its uses – at once aesthetic and sociological – of technologies of vision
