annular dark-field detector

annular dark-field detector

An annular detector with an inner diameter of ~3 mm and an outer diameter of ~8 mm, which is used for obtaining a high-angle annular dark-field scanning transmission electron microscope (HAADF-STEM) image. The "annular dark-field (ADF) detector" of a phosphor screen or a YAG scintillator receives scattered electrons and converts them into a light signal. The light signal is directed to a PMT through a light pipe and converted into an electric signal, and the electric signal is amplified.
