Characterization of scanning transmission electron microscopy images of thin biological sections
Novotná, Veronika ; Nebesářová,, Jana (oponent) ; Krzyžánek, Vladislav (vedoucí práce)
This master´s thesis describes physical principles of the TEM, the SEM and the STEM and their suitability for observation of electron-sensitive samples (embedding media, biological specimens). The interaction between the incident electron beam and the sample is also discussed, as well as the sample preparation for the STEM (TEM). Furthermore, a description of microscopic image processing is included with a section about quantitative comparison of the STEM images. The thesis is focused on the mass loss of pure embedding media (Epon, Spurr, LR White) caused by the electron beam in the low voltage STEM. The samples of different thicknesses were investigated using different microscope settings (acceleration voltage, total dose, probe current, cleaning of the sample surface and specimen chamber) and the STEM imaging modes (bright-field, dark-field). Furthermore, biological samples of Euglena gracilis embedded in Epon and Spurr are examined. Collected images, created algorithms and obtained results are widely discussed.
