← ScienceWhich inaccuracy arises when a transmission electron microscope (TEM) samples diverse thicknesses?
A)Chromatic aberration blurs fine features
B)Astigmatism distorts image point symmetry
C)Spherical aberration affects image resolution✓
D)Coma induces off-axis artifacts
💡 Explanation
Spherical aberration becomes thickness-dependent because the Ewald sphere intersection with diffraction patterns shifts. This causes blurred high-resolution details as outer lens regions improperly focus electrons, therefore resolution decreases, rather than from chromatic or coma effects which dominate other aberration types.
