Abstract

The original approach that Gabor took in developing electron holography was an in-line projection method [4.1] in which an object is illuminated with a divergent spherical wave from a point focus close to the object (Fig.4.1). This kind of hologram is a highly magnified projected interference pattern between the object and the transmitted waves. No lenses are necessary, but this method requires a very small electron point focus. The diameter of the focus determines the resolution of the reconstructed image.
