Hi,<br class="">
<br class="">
We have a strange problem on one of our instruments (Titan Krios with Quantum-LS GIF and K2 Summit in counting mode).<br class="">
When recording images at low mag (1.04 A/px for the 4k images) and low-dose conditions of a partly devitrified sample, and compute the FFTs, we can see the 3.7A ice ring and also the second-order 2.1A ice ring, sometimes a third-order ring in the corners at
1.7A resolution.<br class="">
We recently observed a resolution loss visible in the FFTs only in the vertical direction, shown by an amplitude decay in the upper and lower quarter of the FFTs. <br class="">
However, while the 3.7A ring shows that anisotropic resolution loss, the 2.1A ring is still isotropically present. An example image is attached.<br class="">
<br class="">
Does anybody have an idea what could cause such a behavior?<br class="">
<br class="">
Thanks,<br class="">
<br class="">
