The noise, due to statistical fluctuation of signal electrons, determines the ultimate resolution limit of imaging and analysis. The signal electrons (N) for each pixel are formed through two stages of statistical processes; Poisson distribution for the number of incident electrons (No) and polynomial distribution for forming signal electrons. The signal electrons therefore obey the Poisson distribution of average nOp (no:average of incident electrons, p:probability of forming signal electrons) and of standard deviation . In order to improve the resolution limit set by the statistical noise of signal electrons, a new method of normalization is proposed for STEM.In STEM imaging of thin specimens, the total transmitted electrons correspond to the incident electrons. It is therefore possible to know the incident electrons by summing up all the transmitted electrons and to normalize the signal electrons by incident electrons, for eliminating the influence of fluctuations of incident electrons. The average E and the standard deviation σ of normalized signal electrons are expressed by p and , respectively, for no> > 1 , indicating that E/σ value is improved by a factor of .

Investigations which require electron microscope examination of a few specific areas of non-homogeneous tissues make random sampling of small blocks an inefficient and unrewarding procedure. Therefore, several investigators have devised methods which allow obtaining sample blocks for electron microscopy from region of tissue previously identified by light microscopy of present here techniques which make possible: 1) sampling tissue for electron microscopy from selected areas previously identified by light microscopy of relatively large pieces of tissue; 2) dehydration and embedding large numbers of individually identified blocks while keeping each one separate; 3) a new method of maintaining specific orientation of blocks during embedding; 4) special light microscopic staining or fluorescent procedures and electron microscopy on immediately adjacent small areas of tissue.
