Few electron optical inventions have revolutionized the TEM/ STEM as profoundly as the spherical aberration (Cs) corrector has. Characterization of technologically important materials increasingly needs to be done at the atomic or even sub-atomic level. This characterization includes determination of atomic structure as well as structural chemistry. With Cs correctors, the sub-Angstrom imaging barrier has been passed, and fast atomic scale spectroscopy is possible. In addition to improvements in resolution, Cs correctors offer a number of other significant improvements and benefits.

A 200 kV cold field emission gun atomic resolution analytical electron microscope (ARAEM, Hitachi HF-2000) has been recently installed at Northwestern. The ARAEM offers an unprecedented combination of atomic structure imaging of better than 0.20 nm nominal point-to-point resolution and about 0.10 nm line resolution, alongwith nanoscale analytical capabilities and electron holography in one single instrument. The ARAEM has been fully functional/operational and this paper presents some illustrative examples of application of ARAEM techniques to oxide superconductors. Additional results will be presented at the meeting.

The FEI Titan 80-300 TEM is a high-resolution transmission electron microscope equipped with a field emission gun and a corrector for the spherical aberration (<em>C</em><sub>S</sub>) of the imaging lens system. The instrument is designed for the investigation of a wide range of solid state phenomena taking place on the atomic scale, which requires true atomic resolution capabilities. Under optimum optical settings of the image <em>C</em><sub>S</sub>-corrector (CEOS CETCOR) the point-resolution is extended up to the information limit of well below 100 pm with 200 keV and 300 keV electrons. A special piezo-stage design allows ultra-precise positioning of the specimen in all 3 dimensions. Digital images are acquired with a Gatan 2k x 2k slow-scan charged coupled device camera.
