A link to, and some explanation on the use of, our Javascript/HTML5 TEM simulator* is on our google electron-detectives site here.
A special version has been set up to examine various forms of disordered carbon on-line, apropo work here on presolar carbon. Can YOU tell which unknown contains faceted nanocones?
The simulator (as well as our now-ancient on-line focus and astigmatism simulator linked below) uses the strong phase/amplitude object algorithm discussed in this earlier webpage, and in this new draft paper** on its relevance to courses in Modern Physics.
A more tutorial paper requested by Microscopy Today, and a paper on use of such simulators to prototype interfaces to computer-controlled microscopes for digital-darkfield determination of 3D-lattice parameters/orientations (e.g. from polycrystal lattice-images taken at more than one tilt), are both under development. Arrangements for exploring procedurally-generated nanoworlds may not be too far behind!
