[3dem] Laser based phase plate

[Ruben Diaz-Avalos]

Very interesting... one can use the proposed Fabry-Perot cavity in the microscope as a contamination-free phase plate, and when not collecting images, just inject helium ions to trigger a fusion reaction and thus power up a few countries.

Cheers!

Ruben.

"Design of an electron microscope phase plate using a focused continuous-wave laser"

Abstract

We propose a Zernike phase contrast electron microscope that uses an intense laser focus to convert a phase image into a visible image. We present the relativistic quantum theory of the phase shift caused by the laser–electron interaction, study resonant cavities for enhancing the laser intensity and discuss applications in biology, soft-materials science and atomic and molecular physics.
