Abstrakt: One of the recent trends in S(T)EM is increasing of the e-beam scanning speed. In general, higher speeds decrease object degradation and prevent image artifacts caused by slow electrical discharging. However, the increase of the scanning speed is limited by the time response of the segnal-electron detector. When the detector response is slower than the scanning speed, it can have negative influence to the quality of the scanned image, such as contrast reduction and image blurring. Usually, the rise and fall edges of the time response curve to a square electron pulse have more complex form, such as a multi-exponential function of time. Evaluate and compare the time-dependent edges in contex of their influence on the image quality is rather complicated. Therefore, we propose to express the detector time response by the modulation transfer function (MTF), which contains all relevant information. It can give the answer to the important question, what maximum scanning speed can be used not to significantly decrease the image quality.
