It has recently been reported that the Integrated Differential Phase Contrast STEM (iDPC-STEM) technique [1, 2] enables imaging of both light and heavy atoms together in a thin sample at sub-Å resolution [3]. Furthermore it has been demonstrated that iDPC-STEM obtains phase images of a size and at the same speed as any conventional STEM technique. Therefore, simultaneous ADF-STEM together with iDPC-STEM has become a standard. This way of acquisition provides complementary information on the sample as well as extra flexibility for focusing, stigmation and sample manipulation.
